Characters: How to sign up for game!

Hi there, if you are reading this you have probably considered playing Last Flight of the Albatross at Conjuration 2003.

Well it is a short game, just 2-3 hours, but it helps if you can prepare a character in advance.
There may well be loads of spaces for people to sign up for on the day, but some people like
to be sure they can play. You can sign up in advance by e-mailing me here, assuming of course
that you have also signed up and paid to got to CONJURATION (Cambridge UK)!

To sign up for the game, choose 3 characters from the list. E-mail CJ, with your 3 choices in order of preference!
Costume is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL. I have included hints in case you feel like dressing up,
BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARY! The game is set in April 1916, and there are many excellent sources
for costume on the web, but a smart shirt or nice dress is always good! :)
