The Saturday Morning Game:
An Ecumenical Matter
A freeform for 15 players by Nickey Barnard, Matt Bull, Philippa Dall,
Mike Grace and Steve Hatherley.
Welcome to Peaky Island.
As you all know, Father Edward O’Bleary died last week when the car he
was in went over a cliff, may he rest in peace. The funeral was this
morning, and the parishioners have now left leaving the priests and
nuns to get down to serious Church business.
Father Edward’s death was particularly tragic as it was expected that
he would be promoted to the position of Bishop of the Diocese of
Peaky-in-the-Sea (Peaky Island, Rocky Island, Stony Island and Pebbly
Island). Of course, this now leaves the position open…

The Saturday Afternoon game:
Victoria Junction
A Question of Station
The sleepy junction station at Temple Normaton, where the privately
owned Woodthorpe Junction Railway meets the North Midlands Railway,
has become a hive of activity today as it prepares for the arrival of
Her Imperial Majesty Queen Victoria.
Her Majesty is expected to have a meal at the Railway Hotel prepared
by the celebrated chef Alphonso O'Brien before travelling on to lay
the foundation stone at Duckmorton Hospital.
Hotel manager Henrietta Loverage is understood to be preparing for the
Royal entourage to be accommodated overnight should they be delayed at
the Hospital, supported by her outstanding concierge Archibald
Albright.
Bernard Perks, Station Master, has spent hours preparing the station
gardens for the visit. The floral display of the Royal Crest is
particularly splendid.
The General Manager of the North Midlands Railway, Wilbert Vere,
arrived this morning to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Local magistrate and landowner Lady Augusta Woodthorpe will greet Her
Majesty and welcome her to Temple Normanton.
This is a horde game which will have 6 cast characters who will remain
as the same characters throughout the game and then a horde group who
will play roles for as little as 30 seconds up to an hour or so, as
passengers, hotel guests, and assorted others, who give the railway
and hotel staff a few problems to deal with! (15 /25 players)
