Program July 29 - August 4, 2013 World Boardgaming Championships 2013 Schedule & Program July 29 - August 4, 2013 Pre-Cons begin July 27 Lancaster Host Resort Lancaster, PA www.boardgamers.org [email protected] Contents 1 is an association of boardgame enthusiasts incorporated as a non-profit company in the BPA state of South Carolina for the express purpose of hosting the annual gaming conference known as the World Boardgaming Championships, or WBC as it is more commonly known. It offers tournaments, vendors, an auction, demonstrations, seminars, open gaming, and Junior programs. In addition, for those who can’t get enough, we offer numerous focused Pre-Cons on the weekend before WBC. We also sponsor e-mail tournaments throughout the year, but our raison d’etre is WBC. We love boardgaming competition—from wargames and Eurogames to racing, sports, and rail games, and we make no apologies for it. It’s what we do. And we take pride in doing it better than anybody else. To find out more about our activities spend some time on our website at www.boardgamers.org. You’ll find more pre- and post-event information than anywhere else on the net—over 2,000 pages of it. It’s not very lucrative or cost effective, but it demonstrates our commitment to this hobby. You can help continue this madness by taking a moment to subscribe to our FREE e-mail newsletter via the web site or trade links with our Webmaster from your local club site. Finally, continue to spread the good news about our association and its activities by bringing your fellow gamers to the best week of pure gaming this year and every year!

  • Transportation Issues Facing Rural Communities — and Make Fewer Stops in Fewer Places
    REALTORS® & Smart Growth on common ground WINTER 2013 transportation Funding Roads and Transit Buses, Streetcars and Bikes Rethinking Parking The Future of Transportation How we move around is undergoing a big shift. Travel by car has reached a saturation point, as evidenced by the leveling off of miles driven, and alternatives such as public transit and bicycles are attracting larger shares of the traveling public. One aspect of the gain in transit ridership is the greater patronage that buses are enjoying from “choice riders” — those who could drive their own cars if they wished. And transit, whether bus, rail or streetcar, is proving itself to be a catalyst for successful real estate development, as demand for living and working near transit is increasing. There also is a new recognition that how we design our streets, which are our major transportation facilities, plays a huge role in determining the character of neighborhoods. # !$ "# !"Y%"&% fuels tax, although the revenue from the current tax is not less welcoming for pedestrians; our article on “Road Diets” $ P & " "'" were attempts to cut off transit funding.
