Well, it looks like I get to be the bearer of bad tidings once again...
Currently, our factory is undergoing renovations in preparation for some new equipment and production capabilities. Today, unbeknownst to me, the central and side stairways have been resurfaced and varnished. In addition to the borderline toxic, chemical stench that even now I'm choking on in my office, the varnish takes 36 to 48 hours to completely dry. This makes all access points to the gaming area unusable until Monday. Therefore, I have no choice but to cancel tonight's Hobby Night.
To avoid last minute let downs and for your planning, let me also say that we won't be able to convene here for Hobby Night on June 5th, 12th, and 19th. We also need to push the Birthday Celebration back to June 27th. This is all due to a busy month of retooling and overseas visits from the senior management of Battlefront Miniatures. Hobby Night, while important to us all, must come second to factory requirements when it's all said and done. Usually, there's no conflict. Unfortunately, May/June seems to be a rough month for us.
I know everyone, myself included, was looking forward to coming tonight, especially after missing last week. It's a fun time, and Legio has grown from its humble beginnings. It's disappointing when we can't gather and enjoy our hobby as we expect to be able to do, and even more so when we find out at the last minute. My sincerest apologies.
Let me also say that this work will finish, and when that happens Legio Malaysia will benefit. Plans are in the works to expand our gaming tables and space. New activities are on the horizon, including a 40K campaign that I'm very excited about. Despite the lost Hobby Nights, I'm sure we'll get things back on track quickly, and get back to the business of HOBBY!
Cheers
Jeff

Last night was an amazing Hobby Night - and not just because it's Saleem's last (at least for some time). If you don't know who Saleem is, he's a pioneer member of the Legio from the very first Hobby Night. His contribution to the hobby, the wargames community and to the Legio is nothing short of exemplary. Not only does he engage in a myriad of wargames periods and genres (15mm WW2 Soviets, Warmachine, 40k Sisters of Battle, and the list goes on ...), Saleem and Jeff spent many a sweaty weekday and weekend evening building the terrain that you enjoy at the Legio today, and is always an active contributor to Legio activities and events. His Purity Seal is truly well-deserved. Saleem received his posting orders and will be shipping out to Tallarn promptly. May he bring some hobby goodness to the shifting desert sands. Emperor Protects!
