RSVP: You must sign up on Meetup for the event. Don’t show up unannounced or if you’re on the waiting list. Please update your RSVP if plans change, to free up space for others.

START TIME: Please arrive by 18:45. Latecomers may be accommodated, but only if they’ve informed us in advance (please post on this event page if you are running late).

CHECK-IN: When you arrive, make sure to check in with the host. This helps us keep track of who’s attending and ensures everyone gets assigned to a games table.

END TIME: Gaming continues until 23:00, but staying late isn’t mandatory. If you’ll be leaving early, check the game length with the table leader.

GAMES: We play a wide range of modern board games. Each table has a leader who explains the rules to players unfamiliar with the game.

TABLE HOSTS: Please do bring board games you’re willing to teach. The more hosts, the better!

ORGANISING TABLES: We usually organise who’s playing what once everyone arrives. Check the Comments section for any pre-organised games.

GAMES: We don't play Chess, Scrabble, Monopoly, Backgammon, Quiz Games, Role-Playing Games, Magic The Gathering, Mafia, Werewolf, etc. as there are other venues or groups for that and we want to make sure that there is enough space for board games. For the same reason we don't tend to play two-player games.

LOCATION: We meet at the former skittle alley in the Railway Tavern, Fishponds, just off Fishponds Road on Station Road (the turn you’d take for Lidl). Head left of the bar, then keep walking to find us at the back of the pub. Ask at the bar if you can’t find us.

NO CHARGE: The pub don't charge us to use the skittle alley, so please support them by buying drinks at the event.

FOOD: The pub's kitchen is closed. While alternative options are being discussed you may bring in food from outside for the time being.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy gaming!
