What an Update I have for you this time; so much has gone on that I have had to split it into the below sections:
1. WPS Club Challenge results
2. EPIC UK Championship
3. EPIC UK Space Marine Battle report
4. Up and Coming events
1. MARK HARGRAVES WINS IN LIVERPOOL - Yes Mark has been threatening a win in EPIC for nearly a year now and, at the WPS Club Challenge, he's done it with Imperial Guard ... well-done to him. Matthew Otter came 2nd with Space Marines and Nathan Hoole came 3rd with Black Legion (so three different races locking out the top). Most sporting was a tie between Kevin Bott and Joe Jephison (with Kevin winning the roll-off) and Chris Webb won best painted for a superb Ork army. All-in-all everyone had a fantastic time and I will be attending the next WPS Club Challenge. All results will be posted on the WPS website at a later date:

I was hoping to get a run down off all the results for the Club Challenge at the tournament, alas it was not meant to be. However looking at the current standings shows that it's very close. With Dave Thomas unable to make the Club Challenge it looks like Tim Hunt and Mark Hargrave have over taken him and all three are close to each other on points. Nathan Hoole would have pushed himself further up the table and Matthew Otter enters the Championship at last. Only 5 rounds left
to go and it's anyone's championship. The current championship standings can be viewed here:
