MidCon
XXXIII
11th � 13th November, 2011
Hallmark Hotel, Derby, DE1 2SQ, UK
MidCon XXXIII takes place in a
comfortable hotel in the city of Derby from Friday morning (11am) to
Sunday evening (6pm).
The convention features:
-
the opportunity to
play board games with like-minded adults, including all the hot games
from this year's Essen games fair
-
the MidCon music and general knowledge quiz for
teams of four on Saturday evening
-
the chance to buy
even more board games
-
the chance to sell your surplus games on the Bring & Buy stall on
the Saturday afternoon
MidCon is primarily about playing games and meeting people.
You can play any of the number of games people bring along
with them, including the hot new games from the Spiel
games fair in Essen, which takes place a few weeks before MidCon.
Popular games include 18XX, Puerto Rico, Agricola Dominion and Power Grid, but
you are welcome to bring along your own favourite games �
you will almost certainly find some people willing to play at
least one of them. Costs
Attendance at
MidCon costs �17 for the whole weekend (day rates are �10 for each
day)
if you book before November 1st, or �20 if you book after that date (you can pay
on the door if you like). If you are coming for the EuroDipCon
2011 event, please note that a single registration fee covers both events. Accommodation is available in the Hallmark Hotel
or its sister establishment, the European Inn across the road, at reasonable rates.
Both hotels have dedicated, free car parks. Derby railway station is about 50
metres away and there is a bus link from there to East Midlands airport. Directions
Registration
You have left it a bit late to send off the booking form now. If you intend
coming, just turn up and pay on the door. You will have to take pot luck with
finding a room at this late stage, but as we have an overspill hotel available
this year there is a good chance there will be rooms available there; it is just
across the road from the Hallmark and is actually a little cheaper. If you would like to join us at MidCon, please complete the booking form below and return it with the convention fee of
�17 a head (goes up to �20 on 1st November) to: Jeremy Tullett, MidCon, 7 Midland Place, Derby, DE1 2RR.
