Nice meeting Dave, and kudos for starting the thread (as explained, I won't be joining Facebook as 1. my colleagues are all over my facebook, 2. the internet believes me to be a pert 19 year old female model).
The Uk tournament scene seems dominated by Epic UK, which is far from a bad thing, as there are great, balanced, simple to follow lists, and the tournaments are really good learning places.
I was worried to go to my first tournament (the last time I had played was some 15 years ago (I was a four-year-old pert female model), but it was a great experience. Sure, there wasn't enough booze, and everyone was better at the game, but since then I have really improved and brought more booze.
The North (of England) and Scotland (North of UK) really struggles at times as so many games are in Southern England. So it would be great to have games and tournaments up here. We had a good time with Glasgow tourney last year, and if we can catch more interest that would be brilliant.
Even in more remote areas, we can arrange games, e.g three from Glasgow vs three from Aberdeen (local clashes) to catch up and promote the game. For those of us whom have travlelled to Exter and Denmark, these are easy commutes.
