OK all. Have started a new village on the wife's iPad called Queen Val. I'll let you know as soon as it ready to set up a new clan, which will be strictly for Clan Wars. As above, the new clan will be called #FG War Clan. Unless I get bored, I will only take this village as far as I have to in order to start a clan.
So the idea will be that when we are ready to have a war, we leave the "normal" clan and join #FG War Clan. At the end of the war we all leave and rejoin the normal clan, Queen Val sits there until we are ready to have another war.

First Wednesday in the month seems like a acceptable result to all so I've removed the poll. Moving on......
As a clan we have become bigger but have developed into a fairly close and friendly group which, I think, is marvellous and something we should try to hold onto
As we've grown, the clan wars we have entered have pitted us against bigger groups who seem more... "serious" about it and, whilst we have had a couple of notable wins, we tend to get beaten. No drama in this as it is only a game but the competitive side in most people wants to win
The problem as I see it is - how can we go back to being a smaller, compettive war clan but keep our friendly group as it is? Chris TG and I have been discussing this and think we have a solution. It's a bit convoluted so bear with me and keep reading
Chris' #2 account, Bondie Boy leaves the clan and starts a new one called #FG War Clan
A couple of days before a clan war we put a note up on the game chat thread and on the forum and anyone who wants to take part leaves the main clan and joins #FG War Clan, remembering that only the highest 5 or 10 can actually take part (this is the only problem I can forsee if we have say 8 people who want to compete)
After the clan war has ended and people have collected their winnings (if there are any!!), everyone except Bondie Boy leaves the war clan and rejoins the main clan again. Rinse and repeat again in a months time
This means that everyone who wants to play knows they will be available, will be using two attacks therefore maximising our chances of winning and those who don't want to war as it's not their bag, or they're on holiday, have family or work commitments, etc. can just ignore it. The main and most important upshot is the main FG clan stays together for 95% of the time
