2014 Britcon Survey & 2015 Dates Published

13/9/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Following the 2014 edition of Britcon we conducted a short 10-question survey of all the 173 registered players to see what they though, and to try and identify areas we can improve on in future years. 

We're very conscious that we are organizing Britcon on behalf of all of our players who pay to enter, so we not only want to do our best, we want also to be as open as possible in sharing the information we are using to make our decisions about how Britcon is organised too. 

We had a fantastic response to the survey, with almost 90 players completing it, which is great. Even better, the results were very, very positive too! 

We have now published the full, unexpurgated results on the BHGS website - including analysis of the results, as well as all of the individual comments and suggestions which were submitted. Where possible we've also tried to answer as many of the individual comments as we can too. (The only editing that's been done is to take out any references in the comments that might be used to identify specific individuals, as that would of course be a little unfair).

We are already planning for Britcon 2015, and we are pleased to be able to confirm that the dates for 2015 will be from the 7th-9th August, again in Manchester University. Details on the competitions on offer, and the booking form will be made live towards the end of this year.

Old Photos....

Pictures from years gone by...

In the background to running events the BHGS are steadily also transferring results from previous competitions from the "old" BHGS website to this new one. 

It's a time consuming and frankly rather dull task, but occasionally it does throw up some real gems - and this week we've been lucky enough to find a treasure-trove of pictures taken at past events, going back in some cases to the early 90's. 

These will all appear on the relevant pages of our "previous results" section once we complete uploading all of the results for the competitions they relate to, however we've also posted a "taster" bundle of some of the best of these photos from across the years on our Facebook site. 

So if, you want to see what your clubmates were wearing in 1994, or what you looked like when you still had hair our Facebook Page is the place to go. 

(You don't need to be "on" Facebook to view the photos, but if you are and "like/join" our page you can add whatever comments you like to the photos - or "share" them on the timelines of your friends, who may have missed spotting themselves - we're sure they'll thank you for it..!!).

BHGS Challenge 2014 - post event report and results

9/4/2014

We are pleased to report that The BHGS  Challenge 2014 was a resounding success!

The results are now published on our site, but to give you a flavour there were some notable highlights too, with 50% more players than 2013 and a number of landmarks as well, including:

 
9 themes, including Bolt Action, DBM and Epic all new/returned after long absence (and Saga in its second year)


 Loads of entries - 128 players, including umpires, with increased numbers in all periods

Plenty of "buzz" in the main hall


David Fairhurst leading the FOW on Saturday night, despite playing an army picked up from scratch and not having played FOW for nearly 2 years


 Darrell Pearce going one better and winning the DBM overall despite not having played it at all for 2 years


 The help we had setting up the tables on Friday and taking them down/tidying up on Sunday night - would have been impossible for the Challenge team of David and Tim, but there were loads of guys there to help, in particular the members of Oxford and the Trunkies, Ian Mackay, Colin, Gary and Dave Redhead and Bob Medcraft and Ray Briggs


So, all in all a great weekend. 


We look forward to seeing you all again at Roll Call in June !
