Friday Night What…
We’re working on our plan for Friday night’s social event, and we’d like to know whether you plan to join us so we can line up an appropriate venue. Possibilities include a trivia contest at a bar near the hotel and an evening of open gaming and drinks at one of our houses. If you’re going to join us, please let me know by tomorrow night.
Join us at the Ocho
The date has been set for our club’s happiest tradition. Season 8 will end Aug. 10 at Brown Manor in bucolic Wayne. The fun will start at 11 a.m. sharp and end no later than 10 p.m. In between, we’ll field at least three boards of Diplomacy, elect a couple of suckers to the Sneak, hand out the club awards, announce the Weasel Royale bids, and strike up the regimental choir. It’s going to be a great time, so make your plans to be there for Weasel Pyle 8.
