*SEPTEMBER DATES*

Again please pretend it isn’t one week into September already gang!

We are meeting at all the usual times and places this month - all meets are at the Northumberland Hussar (find us in the back corner by the patio doors). Starting at 4pm on Sundays and 7pm on Wednesdays.

On the 30th September we will have some local game designers coming down to show us some new games and get feedback on their creations - you’re welcome to bring standard games as normal if you’re not wanting to playtest

*Football = No Meet* 😢

Due to the ongoing World Cup matches, we are unable to find a suitable venue for Wednesdays meet, and due to this and the likely busyness of any place with an early match on and protecting members, we have made the decision to miss our usual meet.

We do have Mortal Wombat lined up for Sunday. This is upstairs only and limited numbers, a poll will come out on Thursday for sign ups as usual on WhatsApp, please keep an ear out for any further changes to plans and announcements.

The World Cup finishes this weekend and we should have less impact on our usual schedule after that!

We will be back at the lovely next Sunday from 12, rather than our usual schedule! Join us for one of pop up events sup...

A new opportunity for members to run and sign up for longer games (eg 2 hr plus or more complex games)!
Please complete this Google form to choose a date, and indicate what game you would want to run or play! A sign up list for specific games will be released following a date confirmation.

The idea of this is we will have a Sunday meet with pre arranged longer games, specific people will have signed up to slots on those game tables and will have learnt the game and prepped for this event ahead of time. Other members on the day can play standard games as usual.

If popular we hope to make this a regular recurring event in the future
