Brum Bash X - The one not at Grimmie's parents' house

We're looking at first two weekends in August. Place your votes, 5punkers.
* Still in Birmingham, and still within a short drive of major transport links.
Friday 12th - Monday 15th August, 2016

Come one, come all - there will be alcohol, there will be cats, there will be board games and beards.

The main event
We usually all assemble on the Friday, go do something big on the Saturday, chill out and play games at home on Sunday and nurse hangovers and say goodbye on Monday.

Last year we went to Warwick castle to watch a big stone get thrown by a trebuchet, buy wooden swords and get assaulted by a loose condor.
This year I thought we could drive a short distance to Solihull and do a group shoot at an archery club my dad goes to.
Solihull archers website wrote:The event is 2 to 2.5 hours long, groups from 8 to 24 people are ideal, though we could consider larger numbers if there is demand. Groups are divided into shooting teams and each team has a coach or experienced archer to assist participants in developing the skill of shooting a recurve bow.

Participants take part in a competitive "Shoot out". The members of the winning team are presented with archery medals to recognise the achievement.

Medals!


Archery is off. Boo. I'll think of something.

Entertainment
Videogames
I own a Mega Drive and a PS3 with two controllers - feel free to bring your own consoles and games
We also have Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and Jackbox Party Pack 1 and 2 on steam streaming.
Board games and beards
If I can motivate myself to write something, there will be D&D with six player slots available, if I can't then we can wing a chaos dungeon with unlimited player slots.
Board game wise, we have Small World: Underground, Pandemic, Skull, Machi Koro, Fluxx, Zombie Fluxx, Pirate Fluxx, Martian Fluxx

Location & Transport
We'll be holding this one at Emerald and I's new house in Quinton, Birmingham. This is on the other side of Birmingham than usual, so pay attention!

By car or taxi
PM me for a house number and postcode! Please note there's limited parking on my road, but the main road that leads on to it does not have double-yellows on it, so you should be able to park long term along it.
By train
Selly Oak train station is the closest, and about a 15 minute car journey away. I can tootle over in my little car to collect you (space for two people with legs, and one paraplegic sitting behind me), or you can catch a taxi.
You can get to Selly Oak from Birmingham International or Birmingham New Street stations.
By plane
There's a 2 minute shuttle from Birmingham International Airport (BHX) to Birmingham International train station that runs constantly.

Sorry to keep pestering you about it but I need to order my tickets soon. Otherwise I'm just going to show up on the first weekend of August and camp out in your yard for a whole week Grimmie. Your bushes will be my toilet and your neighbours' houses will be my hunting ground.

I tentatively mentioned this to Mrs Pants and she didn't attack me. I'll try to get a better feel for if I can get away with it.

Bits reckons he'll be able to ask his boss-dude next week. If he can get the second weekend then that'd be my preference, just so I can get the trifecta of Bits Pants and Shada here, but I'll take either at this point!

I mentioned it and immediately got a sulkface. I'll come back to it in a few more days, but don't wait for me to set a date. Either or is fine (and there's a strong chance I won't make it anyway).

First post updated with a slew of delicious, juicy, throbbing details for attendees!
Please confirm your attendance as soon as you can as I can book places at the Chivalry Modern Warfare Archery Grounds Simulator.

Tickets have been booked. Booked so hard. As mentioned on discord, I would love some archery! Can we have the low gravity turned on?
