To my knowledge, Michaels only daughter would currently be about 16-20 years old.
Married?
Pretty rare in this day and age.

Lets keep this thread in the right direction, regardless of who is doing what and who knows who.
At least there is a group of guys who appear to be willing to  have a go at putting something on for all of US.
How good is that.

If theres more to it in the background, so be it, but you know what......the opportunity for a LOT of us to meet up for the first time in one spot with ( hopefully ) a load of decent pins to play, discuss and criticise ( the gameplay not the condition ) and just enjoy and learn stuff has NEVER been presented in this country in such a fashion.

I personally dont expect a lot form ANY first time event ( in any hobby/ industry ) but if this starts and then becomes a yearly event I am sure it could grow into something special which we can all enjoy. I dont really care if there is some type of auction there on Sunday afternoon, I dont care if they have hot chips for sale instead of roast lamb dinners, I wouldnt care if a speech was made and the microphone failed etc etc etc - it should be just a great opportunity to highlight this fading game.

I will be there regardless.
