There is one special note about event sign up. Registration for events will only be available on the day of the event. Friday's events will first be available for sign up when registration opens at 6:00 PM on Friday. Saturday's events will first be available at 8:00 AM on Saturday. The same is true for Sunday's events. This allows those members attending from far away, or who are unable to attend on Friday, the opportunity to sign up for popular events.

There will be 32 - 5 ft. by 6 ft. event tables available in all five event periods. We can accommodate many different table sizes by combining 2 1/2 ft. by 6 ft tables. We will hold at least two event tables free in each game period for open gaming or pick up games.

If you are planning an event, please complete the event registration form enclosed with this Citadel. Sending in your event sooner rather than latter benefits both you and the club. You get your choice of tables and periods. The club gets to publicize your event and attract players.

There will be swap tables on Sat. and Sun., dealer tables on all three days, a painting competition on Sat., and a painted miniatures auction on Sunday.

The lecture and demonstration series will be expanded. We have a separate room for these. Tentatively, we will plan to have these in the last hour of each event period so that those who have completed their games or are at loose ends may attend.

If you have questions, comments or complaints, then speak with an officer of the club. We are always looking to improve the convention. You may also write to The Citadel at the address on the envelope.
