So...a little after July 4th of this year I received an email from one Brandon Minton asking questions about this funny little game. It had been well over a year and a half since I had flicked, but was more than happy to correspond with him...
We have gotten together several times since the initial emails. While my passion may not be at the level it was in 2008, it was great fun seeing his passion and love for a game that he had just picked up. I enjoyed every minute of our playing and only wish that my life would allow more time to get together as he is a great guy (and I wanted at some point for him to show me some war gaming).
I believe that he (along with Daniel) have breathed new life into Subbuteo, which was greatly needed (along with the Michigan crew re-entry).
Now Brandon is moving on to North Carolina, and I believe he will be recruiting flickers there, which will in the long run be great for every body.
This will be a great send off for Brandon...thanks and all...
Upon further review...I wouldn't miss it for the world. I will join the festivities, if nothing else to give each of you someone else to defeat!

Great to see you can make it! I'm glad you'll be there for my send off. Although, I will return for the tournament in March to avenge my impending defend at this tournament! Haahaha!

Great to see that Matt is joining the festivities, waiting for news from Jody, hoping that Joey and may be someone else will joining us.
It is going to be a great day of Table Soccer and the right farewell to Brandon, to Daniel prepare your pitch we might need an extra one.

Do that mean you'll also be feeling {{{ahem}}} like you were at the last meeting?

I hope you are going to feel better this time, I would say to meet around 8.30 a.m to make the draw all together and start around 9.00,if agreed..... Jody also is coming from far away so probably we will decide everything in our Monday meeting, James should join us and if Matt could come would be more than welcome.

I will be going to bed early on Saturday so I can be effective on Sunday. I am just hoping the destruction will be cleared from bayshore in time for me to get off the island in the morning.
