the Description (wuth all due respect tohe original author):[i] Join us for our annual festive celebration on November 27th – 28th in Wincanton.
This year we are celebrating Hogswatch in military style, and your Discworld Emporium needs YOU!
So whether you fancy yourself as a member of the Borogravian Army, a member of the City Watch Special Constabulary, or perhaps a starlet set on entertaining the troops - don your uniforms, polish your boots, and salute the Hogswatch spirit!
There will be an inspection of troops, a Borogravian Camp Concert, an auspicious ceremony or two, a Grand Charity Auction, plentiful rations of cake, and many more diverse entertainments for the battle-weary. (More details to follow).
Troops will find nourishment with the Officer’s Mess Sausage Supper, taking place in various canteens around town on Saturday. Please note that spaces are limited and you will need to book and pay for your places by filling in a booking form (available to download from our website soon)
The Cunning Artificer’s Discworld Emporium will be open for a warm welcome and morale boost all weekend.

DISC-LAIMER: The Discworld Emporium cannot guarantee freedom from air-strike by passing birds, shell-shock by the profanities omitted by a certain stout party, battle fatigue caused by a lengthy Thud game, or a road block on the A303.[/i]
Now I realise that a lot of GWCers may not be in the UK (hell knows I’m not) or even in Europe but I thought I’d promote this event anyways, it’s a gathering of fans of the “man in the hat” aka Terry Pratchett. IF you’ve not read the man do so, right now, even if you’re working, lying in bed or having fun with your partner, stop, go and buy either small gods or pyramids (excellent starter books) and read them, if the person you’re with complains, read them aloud and they’ll stop complaining and start LOLing.
Mods, if you want to smack me down for posting a UK event in a primarily north american continent forum then I shall gleefully accept the big mod stick*
