These include the Roman Legionary Fortress and Museum at Caerleon and the Roman walled city of Caerwent. Among the many local castles, the best are Chepstow, Raglan, White Castle (at Llantilio Croesenny) and Caerphilly. Caerphilly castle has a permanent exhibition of full size working medieval siege engines including ballista, mangonel, trebuchet and perrier. The Welsh Folk Museum at St. Fagans is worth a visit. The Brecon Beacons National Park and the picturesque Wye Valley are also nearby.

Eric Doman would like to play in the FOG AM period however it looks like he will not have a partner to play along side, is there anyone out there who would be willing to partner Eric at Usk?

If there are please feel free to drop me a PM.

Regards,
Dave

I think that Richard's email is wrong on the website it should be:

Which bit of which web-site?

It is listed correctly twice in the post above, and also in both the FOG tournament documents linked above, and also in the Godendag 2012 page on my web-site, and also in the e-mail I sent out to all last year's entrants.

Where is the errant typo, so that I may correct it?

(P.S., I am pretty sure that Bob had the same problem last year.)

Any chance of getting chups with the jacket potatoes, or maybe a tofu burger on day two for variety? Talk about ya stereotype, Trev.

Finish early, go into town for lunch

Good news, Anthony Worral Thompson is supplying the cheese & wine.

I thought Ruddock was normally in charge of Cheese and whines

Any R&R Richard?

Point 10 of FoG rules is incorrectly coded for a start. The visible text is correct but the link isn't

Well as I have less than 2/3 of the army lists in yet, no......

FOGAM players are slacking, for FOGR have a much higher proportion (but not all).

Anybody got a free weekend that wants to use half of a rubbish army?
