Hi all, last weekend saw the GCN AGM. Firstly I would like to thank everyone who participated either in person, or by submitting proxy votes. It is your organisation and it is important that everyone has a say in how it is run.

GCN AGM

The minutes for the GCN AGM are now available here. Among the many topics discussed, the most exciting is the prospect of the GCN running its own gaming show, initially in co-operation with COGS. More information to follow later in the year.

We also held the council elections, so the new council is:

President - Richard Kerry (Sad Muppet Society)
Vice President - Laurie Stewart (Leeds Night Owls)
Treasurer - Steve Nolan (Leeds Gaming Club)
Secretary - Gareth Williams (Chelmsford Bunker)
Promotions Officer - Dan Currey (Bracknell Forest Gamers)
Events Officer - Scott Miskin (Da Wot Notts)

In addition to all this, the updated Constitution (4.5) will be online shortly and will come in effect from the 30th March.

The Castalain

The latest issue of the GCN newsletter, the Castalain is now available to download from here. Enjoy!

And finally...

If anyone is interested in my random musings, I'm now on Twitter as Neathleanan.

Until next time, happy gaming!
