The Christmas meeting was incredibly busy with a very full hall, filled with very full gamers after the massive lunch everybody brought, plus the addition of pizzas. You will be pleased to know that we were up to the challenge and very little food was left over at the end!

There were a couple of special events, the LXG Christmas Trivia, and the Grand Melee and Thunderstone league finals, that boosted people’s points quite significantly. Outside of that the sheer volume of games being played meant there are more ranks gained in December than in any month so far!

(see the full rankings)

Ranks Gained:
David K is now an Elector, joining Eddie C at the highest rank gained so far, thanks to his league organiser points for running the grand melee league.
Keith D is now a Prince, with his league organiser points from the Viewpoint league yet to be added to his score. Running the trivia event netted Keith a cool 100 points, and they were well deserved given the amount of work Keith put into making this event run smoothly!
Jeremy N is now a Marquis, with his points for running the Thunderstone league yet to be added too.
Ross vS is now a Count, the only one of that rank at present.
Anthony H is now a Viscount
Three new Barons today are Nigel B, Andrew B, and Liam P; also Vanessa T is a Baroness
Tim H, Andrew W, and Edward E are all Baronets, with Grace C a Baronetess
Two new knights; Luke I and Luis C
A whopping five new Esquires as Jason A, Veronica A, David B, Rory W and Lauren W move up past novice rank.

Well to to everyone, have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year’s. We hope to see you at our first meeting of 2013 on 20 January.
