World Boardgaming Championships

This in from Don Greenwood:

So how long have you been hearing about the World Boardgaming championships and wished you could check it out? We're not getting any younger. If not now, when? WBC is on the verge of its 20th year. Don't miss the fun. 

BPA DECEMBER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE EXTENDED: We want to give away free WBC t-shirts and full color yearbooks so we've extended the deadline to give you time to enjoy our best rates. Only five days remain to buy your membership for 2010 and get a free WBC souvenir T-Shirt and yearbook. We urge you to commit for 2010 NOW both to save money with our lowest rates and to vote your choice of the 25 Continuing Trial events to be offered this year. This is your chance to retain your favorite events or introduce new ones. Your vote must be postmarked by January 2nd to count. On line payment is limited to those residing outside the United States. The December membership application is posted with the 2010 Ballot for Trial events at http://www.boardgamers.org/forms/MemberForm.shtml

2009 AFTER ACTION REPORTS: The 2009 Event After Action Report pages complete with the latest Laurel counts and photos as only WBC does them are now available at http://www.boardgamers.org/yearbook09/  Peruse them now to see what you've been   
missing before deciding what events to support with your votes when buying your 2010 membership. The initial lineup of eligible events for the 2010 WBC pending membership vote and GM commitments is listed on your membership ballot and in more detail at http://www.boardgamers.org/wbc/orphans.htm 

2010 MEMBERSHIP POLICY: We will again enjoy a full week of gaming running from Monday morning through Sunday evening with assorted pre-cons during the previous weekend. The Sampler Showcase and WBC Auction and Auction Store will again begin the week before the main tournaments commence in earnest on Tuesday evening. The Showcase will be open to all paid WBC attendees. Open Gaming in the popular Showroom setting will commence a day earlier on Wednesday with expanded use of the BPA Gaming library. A small number of events and Open Gaming will continue to be run on Monday to augment the Sampler Showcase, but the bulk of Tuesday will remain dedicated to the Auction and Auction Store.

A normal Sustaining Membership covers all WBC events from Monday thru Sunday for $70 - no annoying parking or event fees to pay. However, all members  joining by the extended January 2nd deadline will receive both a free full-color Yearbook mailed in May and a WBC Souvenir T-Shirt upon arrival.  Those joining afterwards will only be able to purchase these items separately while supplies last. The convention schedule will remain separate from the full-color yearbook in a smaller, one-color booklet made available at registration. Check the full  details on our membership terms page at http://www.boardgamers.org/bpaterms.htm for payment deadlines and shirt size exceptions.

Don't delay. You know you want to be at the WBC this summer. Drop your check in the mail today for the best deal.
