[Announce-gamesoc] Warpcon Details

by gamessoc

Hey all, I know you're all busy studying, so I'll be as quick as can be. As you may be aware Warpcon, an annual gaming convention held by UCC is coming up on the 27th of January, and will end on the 29th of January and Gamessoc are organising a group to go together. Warpcon is an amazing convention, with Card Games, Board Games and RPGs played all weekend, and the best part is that you don't even have to bring any games with you, as there will be a large selection supplied. Wargaming is also present at Warpcon with games running throughout the weekend, so if you're a fan of Warhammer and the likes, don't forget to bring your army! Warpcon is always a big and outrageously fun event and it's a great way to blow off steam after the stress of exams. The cost to members will be €16 for members and €26 for wargamers, which will cover you for the entrance to warpcon and the accomodation which is to be paid when we meet for the bus journey to Cork. We will be staying in the Cork International Youth Hostel. We will also be getting the bus down, which will cost €19 for a return ticket and will be partially refunded at the start of next semester. We will be arranging meeting and travel times to Cork closer to the date, so we'll let you know If you're interested in going please let us know as soon as possible and please let us know if you'll be going as a wargamer or not. Further information about Warpcon can be found at www.warpcon.com Regards, Craig Gavagan Mac Entee DCU Games Soc http://games.dcu.ie
