MayDay 2006 Call for Game Hosts

The Edmonton Wargame Group (www.edmontonwargamegroup.com) will again be hosting a one-day convention on Saturday, 13 May 2006 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

MayDay will run 8am-9pm and attendance costs $10 (includes lunch, games and prizes). Registration will commence in April. MayDay 2005 saw over 40 gamers attend; we expect up to 60 this year.

The MayDay committee is currently looking for volunteers to host games.

Any sort of proposal is welcomed, but MayDay focuses on (mostly) historical board and miniature games.

We currently have a Flames of War mini-tourney tentatively booked. We’re specifically interested in also booking a DBA event and a Squad Leader or ASL event (volunteers anyone?).

If you’re interested in running any sort of game, please contact Bob Barnetson (bob.barnetson@3web.net) with your idea. You may want to give some consideration to the following questions:

1. What are you proposing (board/miniatures, genre, rules, scale)?
2. How much time and space would you need?
3. How many players could you accommodate and is there a minimum number?
4. Could you accommodate new players or are you looking for experienced players only?
5. Is there anything significant you’d need the players to provide (own troops, own copy of game)?

We’re looking to firm up the schedule by January.

See you all in May!
