<p>I took part in the Heroes and Legends event in Tolworth at the weekend, we had 50+ people turn up, the hall could have accommodated another 80+ people easily, the venue had plenty of parking and the competitors were spoilt for choice with regards to budget and type.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Registration kicked off at 10:00 on the dot, first game started just after 11 and everyone was out by 7.</p>

<p>Snacks and drinks were available thorugh out the day</p>

<p>look nothing will ever compaire to the mighty nottingham event where they had people using the toilet lid as a table.</p>
<p>I guess 1 of 2 things happen either they make everyone pay the £5 for food or they just increase the entrance price to be able to afford to run the events? I understand that running tournments at the mo is increadably painful and you all have my deepest sympathies. I enjoyed the event and would happily turn up to the next one and would hope that Dark Sphere learn…</p>

<p>as for venue I would happily supply a list of pubs around Liv street that are available for hire on weekends that would be able to accomodate about 40 people without a massive squeeze, I obviously don't know prices.

<p>I still find it amazing how many people think finding a suitable venue in Central London is easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or that holding a decent sized Magic event, and not make a loss without overcharging the players is peanuts!</p>

<p>It's amusing to see someone else trying.</p>
