Hi, I've just joined this forum in order to find out about the whole BOYL malarkey. I've seen a few post-event reports from last year and it looks like a fun event to come along to, but I have a whole series of newbie questions. Apologies if this has already been covered somewhere, but a quick look around this bit of the forum and the main website didn't turn up anything.
Firstly, I gather that the booking process is still at the stage of people booking tables, on which to run games. Once that is set, do people book places on specific games to cover the time they'll be at the event?
Generally, how many of the games tend to require specific figures/groups of figures to participate? I model & paint quite slowly, so could do some figures for a specific game, but not many.
Is the Fri all day, or just the evening? (Trying to work out whether I need to book leave, or just travel up after lunch on the Fri.)
Given that the social aspect seems to be a pretty key part of this, is there a particular hotel people tend to stay at?
Finally, if anyone has any useful pointers for a 1st timer at BOYL, any tips would be gratefully received.
