Unfortunately, this event will be overlapping with an MGS event
nearby - CAM Prep. This NOT intended to compete with the MGS event.
However, if anyone would like to head over afterward, we'd be glad
to have you join us.
The World Wide MAGC Muster events are a series of coordinated
events across the globe (as the name suggests), so there were bound
to be conflicts in some locales.
