The club I was running had a schism around the time the PP tourney…[Read more]

Pledge Update:  I just had an email from North Star and my Warriors of Athena order has been dispatched.  Cue boundless joy.  Then read the small print and it is coming second class post.  Not here tomorrow then and realistically I shouldn’t expect it before Wednesday afternoon although I might get lucky and it will get here on Tuesday.

The ema…[Read more]
