Just over a month to go to Concrete Cow 11 on 19 March, and time for another reminder.

So, Concrete Cow is on 19 March, in Milton Keynes. Please consider yourself reminded.

The list of games is growing, but we need more games on there! If you're thinking of offering a game, please let me know and I'll add it to the list. If it's not on the list, how will your legions of adoring fans and groupies know to flock to you on the day?

I look forward to seeing you all on the day.

Three weeks to go to Concrete Cow 11 (19 March, Milton Keynes, etc.) so time for another reminder about it.

We have a load of games on offer at the Concrete Cow games page, but it's not too late for more! If you're thinking of offering a game, please let me know and I'll add it.

Also, Concrete Cow has moved into the 21st century with its own Twitter hash tag, #ccow (that's with two 'c's, as #concretecow is a bit long for Twitter). Please use that for all your Concrete Cow mentions on Twitter. If you want to link to Concrete Cow, you can use http://bit.ly/e5tNiK for the Concrete Cow page, and http://bit.ly/eiw4wQ for the Concrete Cow games page (assuming Gaddafi doesn't turn off Bit.ly).

Hope to see you in a few weeks!

Neil.

Less than a fortnight to go to Concrete Cow in sunny Milton Keynes! I hope you've all got your games lined up. It's not too late to let me know about any games you'll be offering on the day, so I can put them up on the Concrete Cow games page.

We also have an update about the curry buffet lunch. The Verandah Talk (where the last couple have been) have decided they don't want to talk to us any more. But never fear, John Ellis has stepped into the breach! He's organised a buffet lunch at the Eastern Paradise, just round the corner from the Old Bath House.

The deal is £8.95 for a buffet of:

2 veg dishes
[*]1 chicken dish
[*]1 lamb dish
[*]2 starters
[*]1 rice
[*]1 naan
[*]poppadoms and sauces
which seems like a pretty good deal to me.

They're also offering a discount on their normal lunch banquet (any starter, any main other than king pawn, any rice, any naan, any side dish), for £9.00 rather than £12.00. If you want that, you'll have to order it individually.

See you in a couple of weeks!
