Right, this is the biggest Xwing event in the world.

Eight open events all around the world, the winner of each will compete at Star Wars Celebration in London later in the year.
There are 512 tickets to the Yavin event to be held in Birmingham at the NEC at UK Games Expo UK 2016, 3-5th June 2016. That would make it the largest single day xwing event ever held.
I've been to the last three Games Expos and competed in Xwing at each. The Expo is well worth a look as it is (www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/) and the xwing tournaments are brilliant (www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/morenews.php?id=134).
There were only 132 places last year and it sold out in a few hours, so you'll probably need to be quick if you'd like to come. Tickets are on sale at 6pm Friday 5th February and are £16 for the two days. They can be bought on the link below:-

I'm getting a ticket as I'm already attending Expo and it looks like the usual FFG Nationals will be replaced by this event so probably (though not certain) there will be no Armada or Imperial Assault at UK Games Expo this year.
These events are great at getting experience against all types of lists and player levels and the Swiss system matches you quickly with others at a similar level so is very suitable to newcomers or less experienced players.
Be good if we could get a few Eagle Squadron members there, will be a great weekend away.
