People sometimes notice that there are not many posts on here- that is because most of the club admin and business is carried out on our Facebook page. We are still here and all the info and links on here are current- particularly the contact info- please reach out if you have a question.
We now have 12+ 6×4 tables, all with mats and terrain, covering a range from fantasy to futuristic, and large scale army games to skirmish ones too. We also run the occasional tournament.
We have had no price changes for more than a decade, but costs are rising for everyone- including the costs for hiring our scout hut. As such we have had to increase our prices to £3 for members and £4.50 for non-members. As we have 11+ 6×4 tables with gaming mats and full terrain, which you can use for a full 3 hours, we hope you will find this reasonable.
If you want you come to a gaming night, please watch out for the table booking post on our Facebook page and put your name down. Be quick about it though, as we are currently at full capacity most nights…
Like many things, we are now open again as COIVD restrictions have eased. You will need to book one of the 11 tables on our Facebook page, but beyond that, things should seem pretty normal.
What are we currently playing most weeks? Warhammer 40,000 (there is a league and a tournament running), Age of Sigmar, Marvel, Adeptus titanicus are all there most weeks, and we have occasional Star Wars Legion, Warhammer Underworlds, Warhammer Fantasy Battle (a favourite of mine) and more….
Try us out for the first time, or come back if you have been away for a while…..
Like pretty much every club in the country we are currently shut down due to COVID19. When will we be back? Well, when the government says indoor clubs can meet again, and when the scout association (who we hire premises from) give the ok for indoor meetings. Hopefully this should be later this year.
In the meantime, why don’t you visit our Facebook page, where we encourage each other to actually paint some of those miniatures we all have, or arrange an outdoor game with a friend?
Well, it has been a while since the last update, but the club is still doing well- it is just that most of our members access club related information through our facebook page (the link is in useful links at the left).
What has changed? Well, the number of players who turn up each week has now gone up- we regularly get 20+ people on a Wednesday night, and the range of games played is even larger. Currently we have a lot of Warhammer Underworlds players, 40k & 30K players, X-Wing, WarmaHordes, Adeptus Titanicus, Age of Sigmar, Dropfleet commander, a few Mantic games players (Dreadball, Deadzone, Kings of war etc), and the occasional boardgame players too… and this list is by no means exhaustive!
One other piece of good news is that the increased attendence has enabled us to buy more mats and terrain suitable for a range of systems. As the photos show, this looks very good.
One thing to note is that they have change the parking regulations on the surrounding roads so, while we can still get about 10 cars in the carpark, parking can be a little more tricky on very busy nights.
We have now joined the Gaming Club Network (GCN)… isn’t that great news? 
What is it and what does it do for us I hear you say? Well, the GCN is a network of gaming clubs, to quote from their site:
The Gaming Club Network (GCN) is a voluntary organisation, created in 1999, set upon the idea of bringing together like-minded people to encourage others to try our hobby. Our purpose is to provide the opportunity for individuals and member clubs to participate in the hobby of collecting, painting and gaming with miniatures, table top games, Board games and role play games.
The GCN strives to meet the following six objectives:
• To assist running local gaming events
• To support club activities
• To assist running games at local and national levels
• To provide a forum for gaming clubs
• To facilitate club development
• To promote good communications between Gaming Clubs, and games originators, manufacturers and retailers
The things you will most easily notice are discounts from gaming companies (including some free games for the club!), notification of events run by other members and advertising of our club on their site and in gaming publications (although, if you are reading this, you have already found us).
If you want to know more contact us (links to the left), ask us on a club night, or check out the GCN website: http://www.gamingclubnetwork.net/
Well we are still here, even if I don’t update this as often as I should. Anyway, the annual Dreadball league will be starting in the next couple of months. If you are interested in signing up or finding out more, comment here or on our facebook page (link is under “useful links”).
Last year’s league went really well and and we finished it with the an Ultimate playoff:
Yes, the Scout Hut has finally been renovated and we will be back to our usual Wednesday nights from 13/11/13. Same times, same location, same prices. Looking forward to seeing you all then. I am sure you are all as excited as the Beavers below…
Well, dear members, you are probably aware that all is not going to plan with the move back to the scout hut as they are running late with the refit. This means no club for now… boooo! To get up to date info on whether the club will be on on a given night, check out our Facebook group (link in the left navigation bar) or email us if you don’t use Facebook (check out the contacts tab).
If you are interested in how the refit is going, the Scouts have a webpage showing the progress:

We hope to have things back to normal as soon as possible, because we miss gaming too, but if there is no floor in the Scout hut, we can’t really play there.
Well, the long awaited rennovation of the old scout hut has nearly been finished so we will back there starting from the 9th October 2013 and back to our usual slot of Wednesdays. The other really good news is we are also back to the longer evening we know you all love- don’t say we don’t spoil you.
If you don’t know/remember where we now are, check it out here.
One thing to remember, there is now no club meetings until the 9th. So don’t turn up and wonder where everyone is!
