I don't think i can bring any puzzles you,ve not already seen in previous mpp's as looking through the pictures you seem to of covered most of my small collection. Which is very scary and just show how bad your addiction has become :lol: But I'll bring some of my favorites over ;)
That's great! It'll be good to see you there! :)

And we're not addicted, we're just.......erm........enthusiastic. :?

Just as a thought;

As there's a good chance of quite a few of us bringing several copies of the same puzzle could it be worth having some kind of labeling system so that we leave with the same ones that we brought?

Maybe have coloured stickers or something?

Was also wondering if it would be useful (or maybe a needless waste of time) to do a little envelope sized info card (puzzle name, designed by, made by, number of moves etc) for each puzzle and sit your puzzle on it?

And small coloured stickers sound good to me.
Open = Green, Blue, Bronze, Red, Black, Black V2, resting = Silver, started = Gold, ready for when Gold gets too much = Orange.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately it is also quite time consuming for people bringing several puzzles with them. Allard would have to take a day off to get all of his written up! :lol:

I would be more than happy to talk anyone through any of my puzzles, including designers, manufacturers, moves, objectives etc. and I reckon all of you guys would do the same. :)

Allard has very kindly offered us use of his abode for MPP3. I am assuming 12 will be the maximum number attending which Allard says he is happy to accommodate.

Start time will be 10:30 and will run until approx 17:30. Those attending who need Allard's address please PM either myself or Allard and we will be happy to provide the necessary details.

I was going to offer a short talk on my puzzles but I don't have many exotic or limited puzzles so if anyone else would like to have first shot then please let us know.

There will also be a Revo Blue speed opening competition with prizes for the winner (don't expect much ;)) , so get practising!

Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 03/07.

How about putting together a short Q&A sheet that asks things such as; first ever puzzle, favourite puzzle, hardest puzzle etc. that everyone could share with everyone else?
That way as a sort of introduction everyone could learn a little bit about the other puzzlers there.

Sounds like a plan!
Q&A Questions (please add more add I'll prepare a sheet prior to MPP):
1. What was your first puzzle?
2. What is your hardest puzzle (other than Revo Silver ;) )?
3. What is your favourite puzzle?
4. How many puzzles do you have?
5. Which 3 puzzles would you recommend someone should have in their collection?
6. Any interesting puzzle story? ie how you got to the eureka moment on a puzzle?

Yes, I'll be there!
Very happy to meet even more puzzling friends and even newer puzzles than before!

Thinking about the questionnaire, my first puzzle may have been this one, does that count?
