Yup, I made these with the financial backing of Gary.
I also did the meet up room for 2019, with financial backing from Charlie/the community.
I’m thinking there will be an in person meet up this time around as well, we may not physically have a room though unless I’m missing a post somewhere.

Since this is the first worlds in a long time, and first overseas, there is going to be a lot of improvisation. Especially since some of the people who helped coordinate last time are not attending, myself included.
With that said, whenever it’s time for the tournament, feel free to use the thread to meet up! Even just asking where people are is good!

If you want a truly posh afternoon tea look into either Claridge’s or The Ritz

smpratte ! you had 3 years to get a valid passport! as for the tea, the ritz is 90 pounds. but the meridian lounge is very close to excel and only 65 pounds…and the food looks great there, good reviews.

What are the chances that worlds 2023 will be in Spain/Portugal

My personal theory is that they were planning on worlds 2020 in London. Then back to America for a couple years then Spain when the new game came out. I think covid messed up that though

Still no word on the promo I take it? Do they always reveal it this close to the event?

I don’t believe they actually reveal it, it get’s shown the first time when people receive it and spread the word, unless it somehow gets spoiled. But could be wrong
