Want to meet a group playing board games? Every Thursday 19:45 in The FC Wellbeing Cafe


Recommended Posts

Hello all,


I like playing board games. My friends and family, not so much! So I started this thread to see if a few people would be interested in meeting up and playing some games. I expected tumbleweed and even a little mocking... The response has been amazing! So much so, I think there are enough people interested to do this weekly. I'm not expecting people to come every week (myself included)! But there's enough interest to have people come on weeks they can or just want to and there still be a group to play with.


So every Thurs in

The FC Wellbeing Cafe

28 Grove Vale (though the cafe is down the side of the building, 10/20m down Melbourne Grove)

19:45 to be playing by 20:00.




Happy gaming!



Cheers

Brad

Splendid idea! xx



I'm hoping people might be interested in light-hearted meeting and socialising, but without the inevitable "what do you do?" and "house prices" conversations 😀 (no guarantees it won't happen anyway... Have you seen the house prices..?!)

Hey All,


What a splendid response. I honestly expected tumbleweed! Certainly enough for a little get together. Does everybody want to meet up?


Tues, Thurs, or Fri evenings are usually best for me...



Munchkins looks fantastic. Never even heard of it before. It's about bang on my level of Geek. Not too long or complicated, a smattering of Geek, and a good social/co-op/back-stabbing element. Happy to try that.

I have Pandemic, and a fair few others (well, more card than board games, Inc Hanabi, love letter, Kakerlaken poker, cards against humanity, though the latter might not be for a first meetup!). Love a good board game so would be up for meeting and playing but this week is no good.

Fabulous. Since coming out on here as a board game fan, I've been brave enough to speak to people about it in actual, real life - and found two who are interested as well. And somebody has DM'd me about it... So potentially three to six of us!


Tues 26th or Thurs 28 good for you guys? 20:00?

If you're free on both, please do say, as I can then offer both to the people not on The Forum and the DM'er.



Cheers

Brad

Hey All,


So now have votes as


2@ either

2@ Tues


So Tues 26th it is! I'm sure it'll go splendidly and we'll sort another evening soon 😀 If you can't do Tues 26th but would like to be involved for next time, do post here.


If we say The Lordship? 20:00?



Cheers

Brad

Hey all,


We have four confirmed for Tues 26th, 20:00, The Lordship. Should be fun!


Please do feel free to join us if you fancy it. We'll be the ones with a pile of games next to us.



Cheers

Brad

Hey All,


That was really good fun. Thanks for coming! And for being interested in making it a regular thing. Chuffed to bits to meet you guys. Some fabulous games made an appearance that I can't wait to try.


Let's make it a weekly thing.


We'll try Thurs evenings for a while, simply as there was more interest in that evening... Apologies Katanita! It has nothing at all to do with the fact that you came first and then second in the two games we played and are clearly a serious threat/contender/nemesis!! 😇


So Thurs 4th

19:45/20:00

The Cherry Tree, Grove Vale

(Trying to think of pubs, that we'll be able to get a couple of tables in on a Thurs night...)



Cheers

Brad

Who's in?


Had one PM confirming


(Though my preference would be for people just to post to The Forum about this thread, please - it's easier to manage and can virtually self-govern/organise without me needing to juggle lots of replies and report back.)

I think that I should be able to make it, but I'll confirm 100% on Wednesday (I need to see if a few things line up nicely). I know that Robbie has a work thing that night so he won't be coming. See you on Thursday!

    • That's odd, one of the claimed benefits of the Gala money is - "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year" I've asked for a list of these events, as without this I feel it can't realistically be used to justify the disruption. Can anyone name even 10 of these events? 5?
    • There’s an unusual cat in my garden that appears a bit lost and hungry. White and fluffy with grey parts and blue eyes. Seems like a house cat. I’m behind Goose Green off Ondine. 
    • As far as I am aware you have shown no interest in the Gala thread but anything you find to knock a local authority, and no doubt hope that it applies to Southwark LTNs, then off you go. I'd love to hear what you enjoy.  I've been to multiple festivals big and small, in life.  The line up at the Lambeth Show looks good.  Steamdown anyone? It's a balance between many factors, amenity Vs loss of amenity, disruption including noise during the event, damage to the park, income to the local authority during difficult times.  What is your view on these matters, or is it just a case that you smell meat? I cycled in the Massif Central when there was a big creative festival and that smelled of BBQ meat.  Similarly a Portuguese festival at Kensington Park. There are some people round my way who used to complain about the music at the Horniman on a summer Sunday afternoon.  This is not comparable to the disruption due to the Gala, I hasten to add.  But I was stunned at the time thinking how could they have issues with some soul/jazz/afro beat/samba/Latino etc  Shane they don't have the same number of free events any more.  I digress....
    • But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author!
