Hello Everyone!

We are running the IFPA Tournament at the White Rose Gameroom show scheduled for Saturday Oct 12.

We are passing along some information about the event, but I am writing today to ask for assistance at the show. We are specifically seeking two things:

* Reliable machines that we will have in a dedicated bank to use for Finals and for back-up games. If your game is used in the bank, you will get free access to the York Show and we will cover your entry in the tournament.

* Volunteers to help us set-up on Saturday morning (8am to 11am). We will cover your entry in the tournament.

If you can help us, please fill out this form:
