TringCon is a one-day meeting of board gamers that takes place in Tring, which is about 30 miles north west of London in the UK. The event was run from 1993 to 2006 by Alan Parr with assistance from his wife Jill - and very well run, too. 2006 was going to be the last event as Alan had hung up his Hopscotch pen and ink, and thought that it was time TringCon retired as well. I spoke to Alan and offered to keep the event alive, and he was happy to let me take over. My wife Valerie has taken Jill's place as caterer, assisted by her friend Linda.
Proceeds from TringCon events will be donated to the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, a registered charity offering specialist palliative nursing care at home to patients with terminal illness, within the Chilterns region of Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. For more information on Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, visit their web site.
TringCon XXI and XXII - September 2010 and April 2011
TringCon comes in two bites each year - for 2010 the second bite will be the last Saturday in September, with the first bite for 2011 being the first Saturday in April. The hall has been booked for both dates, so all you need to do is to put them in your diary and be there - but please let me know you'll be coming so that the catering matches the attendance. You are advised to bring anything you'd like to play. I suggest you put a slip of paper with your name in each game you bring. I will also have a number of games on hand for you to buy, should you feel the need to expand your collection.
There is no specific format to the day about what gets played when and what, indeed, gets played. That's entirely up to you. Your entry fee also gets you a buffet-style lunch and tea.

You are welcome to book as early as you like. Actually, the earlier the better, as the popularity is starting to push the limits of the available space. When you book I'll add your name to the list of attendees.
