EPGS Heroics - January 2004 NEW YEAR SPECTACULAR!!!
Come THIS SATURDAY to the Community Room of the Oxford Valley Mall for a meeting of the Eastern Pennsylvania Gaming Society! Come early and often in 2004 to get the most out of your annual membership!
The tentative 2004 EPGS Schedule:
Jan 17, Feb 7 & 28 (28 is NOT a typo, the 21st was already taken!), Mar 6 & 20
Planned for: the 1st & 3rd Sat every month thereafter (subject to change!)
The mall does not schedule events as far ahead as we do, so parts of this schedule may be subject to change. You will be informed as early as possible of any changes.
Gaming from 9:30 AM - 9:30 PM

As you can imagine, it takes some effort to compile these lists. So I ask your help in making it easier for me in 2004. The most difficult part of maintaining the database is adding new games and publishers. Therefore, please refrain from playing any new games. Also, it would be helpful if you could play your games in alphabetical order. Thank you.
- OK, maybe I should have saved that last paragraph for the April 1st issue! :)
