Hey,
In my local area there is a big void where no board games are played which makes me a sad panda
The nearest places I have are 2 in Dundee (some 30 mins drive) and both are heavily Magic based which really isn't my thing after a few goes at playing it.
Heading the other way there is a games club/store in Kirkcaldy which opens to members and the public alike to play games on a regular basis and they usually play a broad selection. The downside is that it's 35 - 40 mins drive which puts me off.
Since discovering that I'm trying to start a group in my local area (a group for this exists on Facebook already
) but I'm struggling a bit with ideas for meeting locations.
The obvious starting venue would be the pubs in town but that could potentially put people off which would hardly be a good start. The biggest thing they have going for them is the ability to turn up and play without too much bother. Obviously this would change when students come back to town.
Other ideas I've had are the local Library meeting space, local school community use and town/village halls. With the exception of the Library option these will likely cost (what I don't know yet) which would have course be fine once up and running but less than ideal for a start up.
Any other good suggestions or ideas on how to successfully get something like this off the ground? What would you want to see or not want to see in a games club?
Cheers for any help
