Proof-reading

I'm off on holiday from the middle of this week.

Visiting family.

Then a week in Devon.

Then more family on the way home.

So I wanted to get the last print run sorted before I left.

Proofing it was delayed this week by Expo scheming.

But I managed to get it finished on the weekend.

Caught a few errors

And corrections sent to the printers.

They were all minor.

Which is good as this was the third time I'd proofed them.

And Paul's done it.

And Rob has done the rulebook too.

But I want it to be the best it can be before the printers do 350 copies.

Fulfilment is getting closer.

The penultimate box of wooden bits has arrived.

Playmat tubes.

Just this final print run, the playmats, the second acrylic order and the final box of wooden bits to arrive now.

I've started finishing the fulfilment spreadsheet off too. 

Venture

We had a fantastic weekend at the NETE in Gateshead.

We were pretty busy!

Did more than twice what I’d hoped for.

Others did less well. 

Several traders left on Saturday evening or during the day on Sunday.

Gareth is not going to run it again :(

Years ago I’d toyed with the idea of starting a con in Newcastle.

Then Gareth started this.

I’m now considering taking it over.

Making a few changes.

I’ve a few weeks to make a decision…

Six/Seven

Our sixth financial year finishes today.

Seventh if you count the year I ran it on my own at the beginning.

Before Paul joined and we became the home of FlickFleet.

It’s been another pretty good year.

Made a profit.

But nearly ran out of cash twice.

Did ok.

What will next year bring?

Hopefully more conventions.

Maybe a new game?

I was playtesting Jotunsaga at the North East Tabletop Expo on Sunday.

Feedback was positive.

It’s improving.

Progress is being made.
