The Cube Masters Series 2011

[wv]

Hi all,

I just wanted to put something out there -

If I organised this event for next year March, would enough people be interested?

Except Baker, and in fairness you have had much more of an incentive to do so thane everyone else.

So, we're getting close to March... :D

Funny you should ask - I'm working on the final cube list as we speak!!

 

I'll be posting up section by section in the Cube forum for discussion shortly.

 

 

[Dan Barrett]

Looking forward to this!

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

do we have a date as yet?

[wv]

Date will be determined by how quickly we can confirm a cube list - I'm thinking April so Baker can play? Just wouldn't be the same without him.

[Paul Hodgson]

Sweeeet :D

[Aaron Dos Remedios]

Hope I'm not too late, but this sounds absolutely great!  I'd love to play in this if there's room

[Thomas David Baker]

Very kind Warren but remember I am terrible at this game and I still don't know when/if I'll be back and you don't want to clash with GP: London.  So don't worry about including me too much.  I'll definitely play if I possibly can, though!  PS Meloku!!!!!
