Below is a list of the planned games for meetings in 2022. If it does not show otherwise, all games are open to join for all those turning up and figures, terrain and rules are provided by those running the game. Please contact the person indicated to make sure that they have spare slots if you’re really keen on joining a particular event.
You might find it useful to bring a tape measure, preferably marked in cms and inches, dice and pen / pencil / paper. Although game hosts should provide everything for the game there are never enough tape measures to go round (and every wargamer knows that you can never have enough dice !).
Club meetings are free to paid up members and to new attendees for their first two visits.
If nothing is shown club regulars always bring a game you can participate in.
Field of Glory games take place at most meetings, anyone welcome to join in, for details ask Paul, Pete, Colin, Bret or John
TABLES
With more games happening at each meeting, we’re starting to find pressure on availability of tables. To ensure fairness, priority will be given to those that have been pre-booked. If someone turns up to a meeting without putting a game in the diary we will of course make every effort to accommodate that game, but there is a risk that we may not be able to do so, to avoid disappointment please diarise your games (you need to email Tony Francis or post on the groups.io mailing list). Importantly, please note if your game will need more than three tables.
Andy has updated the audit of the tables available at the hall; there are 11 60″x30″ and five 60″x27″ canteen style tables, 20 22″x22″ card tables plus the club’s three gaming boards at 72″x48″. The last each need to be balanced on either two tables or four card tables. So there’s easily scope for half-a-dozen games to go on at once.
Old diary pages can be accessed here.
