Hi all,

Just reminding people that registrations are now open for all events at BattleCry.

BattleCry will be in a new venue for 2009. The ASB Stadium in Kohimarama.

There is a registration form on-line you can fill out here http://theamericaclub.net.nz/battlecry2009/form and mention which tournament you want to sign up for in the Notes box please.

There are a bunch more events happening this time and we still have some space for a few more additions if anyone is interested in running a tournament, a demonstration event or just some show and tell type stuff. We will also be giving out loot bags again so if anyone wants to advertise future 2009 events we can put fliers into the loot bags. Please pass this invitation onto others who run gaming events if they aren’t on this list.

We also have Orc Ball happening on the field outside on Saturday if you remember it from BattleCrys in days gone by or newly featured last year at Chimera. We will also have the Waikato Alfs declaring war on BattleCry and a number of local groups will be helping us on the field to defend our honour including the local Kaos group and the Argent Lords.

And for more things to see and do, there are whispers of a Medieval Games Day happening around the field area over the weekend, with reenactment groups running some events. More details to come.

Heaps to see and do.
