As the Holidays approach, whether your American or a UK citizen, or somewhere else in the world, we are all approaching that time where we gather for holiday events with family, friends, and significant others. It's not unusual for this hobby to have a bit of a slow down when the weather gets cold and the festivities are taking place in our own personal lives. We understand that some have family, kids, loved ones, or even traditions that may take them away.
With the November 9th show Great Northern War approaching and the CWA World Title Tournament coming soon after... I wanted to ask what you all would like to do for the remainder of the year?
I will be around, doing as I do, and I know Matt will be too. I hope to do another Honor here in November and one in December to keep up with the once a month frequency I set out for in April. However, we also want to make sure to gauge your thoughts on how we book during this time of the year. It's not an issue for us to find creative ways to do fewer shows if the roster is interested in a slowdown period, minimizing card sizes or reducing the amount of cards we try and post during a month. I believe we usually average 3 shows between two events and an Honor each month.
Would love everyone to chime in and provide feedback, so we can do what's best by our roster.

I'm happy to carry on as normal. Mid December I have jury duty for up to two weeks. Then I possibly have from Christmas to new year off work anyway. So could do with a distraction during rhat time.

From a purely selfish point of view I'm on holiday for the whole first week of December, and the week between Christmas and New Year I'll be drunk the whole damn time, but I'll go with the majority.

Sorry to be wishywashy, but my official vote is "the holidays aren't going to affect my availability to efed one way or another but I don't want to put pressure on people who have Plans one way or another" so whichever way this poll goes I'm good with the outcome.

Perhaps those who are wanting to opt out could let us know. We can plan for 2, but have it fit everyone’s schedule. My idea was to have the final NPW show between Christmas and New Years and finish the hear with a Supercard.
As far as Early Dec… The CWA World Title Finals would be there. Perhaps an Honor as well? Any and all input is valued. Thanks.

My goal for Honor was early December. Since the November Honor will be posted following GNW, we’ll have a good idea as to how the next shows go.
Bi-weekly has been the common booking trend. With an honor in-between roughly the 14-21st is when I try and have that booked.
With Matt running the CWA World Title Tournament, I think the two shows for December will be Honor (12th?) and Matt’s end of month show. If that sounds good to everyone, I think it’s a good plan.
Our goal is to not over-extend anyone or create situations where they feel burnt out or could possibly no-show. Life happens though, and that’s always a possibility.
January we will ramp up and be back to 3 shows a Month I think, with the two NPW cards Matt runs, and Honor per usual.

Just go by a volunteer basis for the December shows.
Anyone who wants a match can just tell you and keep everyone else off the cards.

How about a name your stipulations card or a combination of various suggestions just mentioned by the others.
