My story
On the 1st to 3rd August 2012, Ben Miller, Sean McFarlane, Duncan Conner and Christian Olsson will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Playing a Boardgame. The attempt will take place at Bus Stop Toy Shop, Irvine Road, Largs, Scotland and we'll be attempting to go past the current mark of just under 54 hours, playing the fantastic Small World (with the Underground expansion) manufactured by Days of Wonder.
Of course, we're doing this for a very, very good cause - the Children's Hospice Association Scotland and we'd love to raise a helpful amount of money for them. That's where you guys come in. If you can afford to donate £1 - thank you. If you can afford £10 - thank you too. Please give generously - the money gets very well used.
You'll be able to find updates on how we're doing on the Bus Stop Toy Shop Facebook page and hopefully we'll be able to bring you live streaming of the attempt too. Watch this space.

Wow! Thank you all. If you've missed the news, we played for around 54 and 3/4 hours, finishing around 10pm on Friday night. Now we need to compile all the evidence, ship it to Guinness, then await them telling us if we are World Record Holders.
More than half way through. Thank you so much for your donations. Keep 'em coming. You guys rock :)
Just upped the target a bit, since the good news is that it looks like we'll hammer the first one :)
Thanks for all the donations over the last couple of days. It's hugely appreciated and lovely seeing the total start to grow :)
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We also have sponsor sheets available if any of you would like to take them round your colleagues/friends/family. Drop into the shop if you'd like one :)
