WBC is drawing closer. I won't be able to make it this year, but I know a lot of our club's members will be there. Best of luck to all of those who attend!

Let's Go Flyers! This month finds another professional sports team on the verge of winning a championship. The Chicago Blackhawks are favored to beat our Flyers and as far as I'm concerned, that's just fine. It was only a month ago they squeaked into the playoffs and two weeks since their miraculous comeback against the Bruins. Who's to say this team doesn't have four more wins in them? Go Flyers!

Have a great holiday weekend!

July 3rd Meeting at Oxford Valley Mall Cancelled...
Due to a training commitment for one of the stores, the July 3rd meeting at the Oxford Valley Mall has been cancelled. As in the case of the meetings that were snowed out, the mall will compensate EPGS by crediting us for a free meeting on the next lease in January 2011.

 

...However, There Will Still Be Open Gaming Available On This Day
Karl Kemmerer, the owner of The Games Keep in Westchester PA, has invited all EPGS members to play games at his store on July 3rd. This is in addition to the usual EPGS meetings held at this location on the second Saturday of every month. For more information or directions, you can contact the store directly at 484-905-5533. In addition to being surprisingly spacious, The Games Keep also has a large library of games available for play.

 

The Games We Played - May 2010
Tichu Tichu retook the title of most frequently played game. It was played a total of 10 times, exactly twice as many times as the five times the second place Dominion was played. All in all there were 48 different games played in the month of May.
