WHO'LL BE THERE?
Guests of Honour
Gregor Hutton is the creative force behind Box Ninja Games. He's the author and publisher of the excellent games Best Friends and 3:16 Carnage Among the Stars. He's also a member of the Collective Endeavour, the UK indie-publishing coterie. There's be more information on him when he sends me a bio! He'll be chained to a table and forced to run games of Best Friends and 3:16 all day.
There may be other Guests of Honour along. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements!
Traders
Cubicle 7 Entertainment and Leisure Games will have a combined stall at Concrete Cow. There will be all sorts of Cubicle 7 games for sale, such as Victoriana, StarBlazer, SLA Industries, and Qin. There may even be some news on the forthcoming Doctor Who game.
The Leisure Games end of the stall will have a variety of stock, but will concentrate on things such as the Indie Games, the HP Lovecraft Historical Society T-Shirts, DVDs and various paraphernalia.
If you have something in particular you'd like to buy at Concrete Cow, either contact Leisure Games directly, or email us and we'll pass the message on.
Make sure you bring plenty of cash to give to the nice people with the shiny books!
There may be other traders along. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements!
Gamers
Members of the Concrete Cowncil, MKRPG's convention gaming arm, will be in attendance to run all sorts of funky games. See the Concrete Cow games page for details.
And, of course, there's all the fantastic games you'll bring along and run. If you let us know what you're planning to run, we'll put it on the Concrete Cow games page.
(Note that for child protection reasons, under-16s will need to be accompanied by an adult at Concrete Cow.)
WHERE?
The Old Bath House, Wolverton, in the north-west corner of Milton Keynes. The full address is
The Old Bath House
205 Stratford Road
Wolverton
Milton Keynes
MK12 5RL
(This time, we're using an additional room in the same place. It's a rather nice, light, and airy basement room. But we can't let that stop us! Bring your cuddly toys along and we'll see how many Dragons we can get in our Dungeon.)
Maps are available on MK Web, Google Maps, Streetmap.co.uk, and Google Earth.
Directions for drivers are on the Concrete Cow directions page.
Regular trains to Milton Keynes run from London Euston station. The nearest station to the con is Wolverton (one stop north of Milton Keynes Central), about five minutes' walk away.
The Old Bath House is next to the large Tesco store in Wolverton. Once you get off the train, ask for directions to Tesco, climb the stairs by their front door, and you'll be outside the entrance to the Old Bath House.
HOW MUCH?
£5.00, payable on the door. This'll cover the cost of hiring the hall.
