Sad to read. The New Edinburgh Pub in Ottawa ON used to have a pretty good ntn Trivia gang, but when it was sold and replaced by a condo unit, we dispersed to Whispers (joining a strong group formerly at Puzzles), Broadway Nepean (in a suburb of Ottawa), and Moose McGuire's (conveniently close for 4 of us, but hard to concentrate with a very loud karaoke and competing local pub trivia group in the next room, so some of us are now making the trek to Buster's Bar to join other former New Eddies). At Moose McGuire's, making the quorum of 6 needed for SHOWDOWN games was possible by playing multiple boards, but the lack of diversity in Players made it less fun and harder to score well.
You certainly seem to have landed on your feet, at least! Congrats on your great run in the Sandbag Tournament.
While being forced to move is certainly an annoyance, looking at it from the positive side, every move we have made has allowed us to pick up some new players. Some of the regulars at the new places (understandably) resented us when we invaded, but others have become some of our most stalwart members, moving on with us to subsequent locations. I suspect a few of the BWW-Kent regulars will not follow us to the Red Fox, but I also think some of the others will. Fingers crossed.
