5News 2 Below 1

We’ve had our convention listings down below in the news for a while now, but hadn’t updated the actual calendar page on our site in a year or so.  That’s been fixed!

  • Added over 70 conventions to the calendar
  • Subscribed to 2 different calendars w/ minis wargaming events on them
  • Updated the convention-only extract table below but for some reason it won’t correctly sort on “date”

 

5News 3 Assembly

The 2024 Fall Assembly will be held 11-13 October 2024.


We’re still moving things from the “to-do” list to the “done” list:

  • DONE: finalized official event schedule; plenty of space to add pickup games
  • TO-DO:  print the table signs with the event schedule for that table for the weekend
  • DONE: Catering order for Saturday snacks
  • TO-DO: Reservation for Thursday night pre-con hangout
  • DONE: Badge design for physical badges
  • TO-DO:  Print the actual badges (Friday morning; waiting for last-minute registrations)
  • DONE:  Flyer design and digital distribution
  • TO-DO:  Print some more to distribute around town for local audiences
  • DONE:  Ordered some attendee swag
  • TO-DO:  Get it here through shipping so we can have it ready for attendees!
  • DONE:  Checked a lot off of the to-do list
  • TO-DO:  Put more stuff on the list

We’ve got a dozen folks coming in from out of town, so there’s no reason for geography to be a limiting factor on you joining us for the convention.  It’s only going to get bigger, badder, and cooler; get in early so you’ve got bragging rights for the future!
