Alan Mennel Dave Simpson on "UK F2F Dip" http://www.dipsters.org/forum/topic/uk-f2f-dip#post-6 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:03:19 +0000 Dave Simpson 6@http://www.dipsters.org/forum/ I know that this might be a cheely post this early in an online Dip forum, but please hear me out! I played in the UK NDC (at ManorCon) last month and we had a grand total of 8 players over the three days. One Board, for the UK Championship! I spoke to a few people after that and have decided to try to get things going F2F in the UK, before it is too late. So, if you are a UK resident or even if you just plan to visit the UK and would like to have a go at Dip F2F, competitively or not so competitively, then there's a new group just for you... <a href="http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ukf2fdip/" rel="nofollow">http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ukf2fdip/</a> Hope to see you there. Cheers, Dave. Alan Mennel on "Welcome!
