By the prickling of my thumbs, yet another Brocon comes.

By the prickling of my thumbs, yet another Brocon comes.

Brocon Bad will be held from 10am 1 January until the 4th of January. Options for New Years Eve are welcome but not currently included.

 Brocon is an invite-only event, due to needing to fit everyone into our home but you are welcome to invite friends. Rob and Leece, as usual I cannot find everyone’s email addresses, could you please let
your Friday night group know they are invited?

 What is Brocon?
 Brocon is a gaming weekend held at Tim and Bronny's place in Brookdale, which is about two kilometres from Armadale. Amusingly, you can find us on 4Chan and Google Maps as:
     - Bronny and Tim’s House of Games
 and - House of Games and Fun

 It is a fully catered weekend, with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided, although participants are welcome to volunteer to run a meal. The hosts will not be providing junk food, please bring your own and be prepared to share with the hoards. Soft drinks however can be created on our soda stream. Plus I have an ice-cream machine and a book full of gourmet recipes I am itching to try.

 During the day, we game. Got something you want to play? Well, now is the time. By gaming, this is generally board, card or strategy but there is a Wii in the garage for other gaming. This year our theme is prohibition, illegal activities and smuggling - all games of this type have preference.

 Evenings are more varied. In the past we have gamed, rock banded, disc-golfed, movies, cards and conversation. Personal preference folks. I do love a good viewing of Rare Exports to get into the Christmas spirit.

 The outdoor gaming area is ready for use with wind-spinning umbrella, big table and paddle pool.

 Accommodation
 Contact us as soon as possible if you would like to stay overnight across Brocon, as we will need to work out where and on what you would be sleeping. Outdoors, under the stars, in the cool is a totally
valid option.If you have a swag, that would be a good addition.

 Cooling
 As it is summer,  cooling is a consideration. It gets hot in Armadale when the doctor does not come in. If you wish to bring additional cooling units, that sounds like a good idea.

 Paddle pool available for use, so if you are interested, bring your bathers.

 Where are We and Transport
 4 Grafham Road, Brookdale.

 We have paved parking for 5 to 6 cars plus street, lawn and verge
 parking.

 For public transport, we are a  walkable distance from the Armadale Train Station. The 250 bus stop is within a minutes walk. the 435 and 420 will cut off ten minutes of the walk, but you need to get out at the park, or you can take the 420 and get off just before the Eighth Avenue turn. Or call for a pickup, its like 2 minutes down the road, no problem.

 So Are You Attending?
 We would appreciate being told if you are coming and when, so that we can ensure that the meals are correctly planned. If you have allergies, particular dislikes (e.g. capsicum) or am vegetarian,please let us know.

We have two lovely callings, Bruno the Great and Movember the Fifth. While you will see Bruno, please ignore Mo as he runs from you in a panically run.

 We look forward to seeing you

 Bronwyn and Tim
