Today is the Day for AmberCon UK!

The Big Day has finally arrived, and by this evening we will be gathering at the SACO Reading Castle Cresent.

Four official games over the weekend lie ahead for us:
Session 1: Friday evening 6pm – late
Session2: Saturday day 9am – 5pm
Session 3: Saturday evening 6pm – late
Session 4: Sunday morning 10am – 6pm

Just a quick word from your organisers on the eve of the Con:

The main one being that this is an experimental set up, due to it being organised ‘late in the day.’ This was both about availability and cost, given we were aware that some regular members of the con would be unable to make it due to the relatively short notice.

We’d like to say thanks to the members of the group who are staying in the apartments themselves, given that it provides us with the game rooms and means the costs are kept minimal.

This being slightly experimental, we realise there might be unanticipated issues arising. If there are any problems people run into, please message Claire or Richard on Discord, with your issue and mobile number if you want us to call you instead, and one of us will respond asap.

It also means that we have to be aware of both proximity to other apartments and that we have to tidy up after ourselves. Please try and be considerate to both other guests and also those staying in the apartments.

Also mugs are likely to be in short supply, so bring your own.

For more information, and in order to get speedy answers to your questions, please check the Discord server.

Looking forward to seeing everyone, and having a great time!
