Hello! I know we've already spoken on the Discord, but as it's tradition, one Big Yellow WelcomeTM:
WELCOME TO THE CONCLAVE!
As I mentioned on the Discord (but I'll repeat here for the benefit of others), the events schedule is obviously very much reliant on when venues are able to open, and we can confidently say they will stay open - as we usually have to plan at least two months in advance, if any lockdown measures come back into play, it could easily completely cancel an event.
We've not held an event at WHW in a while - for a time they brought in a "first come first served" approach to their events hall, which was a complete pain from the perspective of planning weeks ahead to get people together from across the country, but I believe they've now backed down on that, so it should hopefully be an option once things settle down again.
(I have also been in mind to run an event at Element, which was the other option you mentioned - I ran a mini-meet while I was oop north for other reasons last year. It proved a pretty solid venue, particularly with constant access to the shelves of terrain to completely reimagine boards between rounds of gaming).
