Saturday November 17th
Cheltenham, UK
A Festival of Ars Magica
Including a freeform ars larp, ars boardgames, ars rpg sessions, medieval music and food and a Ars raffle of rarities!
People are welcome to arrive on the Friday night, and I will ensure that those staying till Sunday have plenty to do, but the main events are on the Saturday. It's possibly the first Ars Magica dedicated rpg convention ever, unless you know better?
If you plan to come do sign up in the Planning to Attend thread! And do tell us your ideas or what you would like to see at the event.
Registration
To register please send funds to paypal@falster23.freeserve.co.uk with a note giving your name, email and mentioning Grand Tribunal. The price from 19th June to 15th October will be £8, and will increase thereafter.
Getting here
Trains from BRISTOL, CARDIFF and BIRMINGHAM are frequent, and all three have good AIRPORTS. A return railway ticket from these locations is currently about 18 Euro, and the trip takes under an hour and is simple with frequent trains. STANSTED and HEATHROW connect to Cheltenham via National Express coaches, but services are infrequent and difficult, and trains from London are expensive. From London Cheltenham is one and a half to two hours via car - M4 to Swindon turn off, then Cirencester, then Cheltenham. By bus there are many cut price deals available, and hopefully lifts can be arranged via the website when I get that far...
The Venues
Cheltenham is a sizeable town with excellent shopping and many superb bars and restaurants. We are currently arranging the friday night pub venue, where the storyteller and folk music will be in a private room, with a blues band upstairs we believe. The main gaming venue is a sizeable community centre with several gaming rooms, situated five minutes from a 24 hour Tesco an ten minutes walk from the city centre. We will endeavour to meet trains by request...
Accommodation
There will be some sleeping bag only floorspace accommodation for those happy to rough it, but very good hotel accommodation can be had for 60 euros a night, including breakfast. Bed & Breakfast is much cheaper, starting at around 22 Euros a night. There is a separate thread on this forum for us to help you arrange accommodation Also see the wiki at
http://grandtribunal.ekkaia.org/ for more news and updates!
Planned Itinerary - subject to change
Friday 16th - Ars Pub Meet - down the pub to talk Ars, with a folk band, a storyteller, and good real ale! Gaming space available.

Sunday Morning - the hangover session
8am till 12 noon - last minute gaming, meet for breakfast and general shopping for neglected WAGS and S'O's. Or last minute rpg gaming - you decide!
You can help!
if you would like to attend, or have an idea or event to hemp making this a "magical" experience do not hesitate to post it on the forum or email cj at cj@falster23.freeserve.co.uk
There will be a small charge for the actual con - book now for £5 per head waged, £3 unwaged (non-returnable). The price will increase as time passes - this is the early bird discount! All profits will be ploughed back in to the weekend and entertainment!

Hi chaps!
Please note that my previous email address cj@falster23.freeserve.co.uk which appears on several posts regarding Grand Tribunal is no longer valid. My email account was cancelled without warning, so now I am unable to access emails sent to that address, or for that matter log in as admin as I can't get a new password issued. Sad
The admin password will be sorted shortly hopefully, and all correspondence should be sent to chris.romer@blueyonder.co.uk
I shall update the wiki with correct details. If you are awaiting a reply please do email me again. Sorry for the inconvenience!
