Any thoughts about this games store? Any ASL? Thx

You in London again?

You in London again?

Hahahaah what do you mean “again”?

 

[Alan Hume]

thought you were there a while back when we were hoping to meet you up in Dundee on our ASL day

 

[hongkongwargamer]

Hahaha I was. My kid misses the city.

Anyway, the game store is no more.

True that. I am scared of crowds myself. It’s just the weekend though.

[Alan Hume]

yeah, too many people is not good
still, hoping to go to London later in the year if my buddies in Germany can get us tickets for the Raiders/Seahawks game
(I'm a huge Oakland Raiders fan)

 

[hongkongwargamer]

Oakland Raiders are coming to London?! Wow

 

[Alan Hume]

Yeah, seen them twice now, once in Oakland over twenty years ago and once in London in 2014

Good times

If you are in London Pete Phillips of VFTT recommends the Leisure Games game shop and it does appear to have some ASL

Look up Derek Cox he runs Double One the London ASL club...he goes by DC here. If there is not a club meeting, which used to meet in my day just off Chancery Lane about 15 minutes walk from the old 33 game store...he might be able to put you in touch with some one in greater london to play... (agree Leisure Games is a haul to get to)....

I have memories of some time spent in Orc's Nest in the '90s, and still have their trademark Orc's head on a coffee mug at home - bought somewhat later during a London weekend with my wife, IIRC. It's good to know they're still around.
