1) ABBF AGM 2010 - Monday 8 February from 6pm at Empire Tavern (corner Nelson & Victoria Streets)This coming Monday we will be discussing the new plan of attack for the coming year. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions, so if you have time, please come along and speak your mind. Those of you who won't be able to make it can make their submissions by sending me an email back to this address before Sunday evening.
Topics up for discussion are:
- Venue and club days/times
- Season/League formats
- Season/League themes & house rules
- Ideas on how to recruit and keep new players... and get the veterans out of retirement!
- Tournament & event schedule
- vacant positions in the league commission
- anything else you'd like to bring up
So let us know your thoughts on any or all of the above, either in person on Monday, or via email before this Sunday. We look forward to seeing/hearing from you!

2) Spring Championship 2509 Finals - Chris' Dark Elves vs Dan's Dwarves
As soon as we're done yapping, we'll dive straight into the action with the Spring Champs 2509 Final between Provocateur International (Dark Elf) and the dreaded Stumpies (Dwarf), the only one of no less than 4 (!) Dwarf and Chaos Dwarf teams this season. This epic match up between old rivals and veteran coaches Chris B and Dan N is one not to be missed... it's definitely gonna be bloody!
Right next door twill see the match for 3rd place between newcomers Lustrian Snakeskins (Lizardman) and the mighty Death Eaters (Dark Elf). This is bound to be another thriller!
So come along to watch or have a casual and unfriendly game of Blood Bowl yourself!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Season of the Dead - New season starting soon!That's right folks, the dead are stirring in the dark corners of the old world and as the new season approaches, we still haven't worked out the final details. Won't be long, though, and as the title for the new season suggests, we wanna see as many undead teams as possible this season. There are four of them to choose from: Khemri, Necromantic, Undead & Vampire.
Any other teams will of course be welcome, too... expect penalties for bringing a Dwarf or Chaos Dwarf team, though!
There will be some nifty little house rules to go with the season's theme. More details will be available very soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
