Meetings suspended

Statement from Gary on meetings being suspended again for the time being due to no turnout:

Following the no-show on Tuesday and the likelihood of social distancing measures getting tighter rather than easier for the time being I think it's best to postpone our game group re-start for a few weeks.

The room will still be available should anyone want to use it - just arrive on a Tuesday and tell the bar staff you are attending the game group.

As always, your best bet to keep up to date on our plans is to join the Facebook group where discussions and announcements happen first.

Game night (sort of) - 28th July 2020

Gary went to the Victoria last night to see if anyone else showed and while he waited he played Tussie Mussie with the Flower Shoppe solo expansion.

As very few members want to attend at the moment, we are trying to determine whether it is worth keeping our commitment to the the pub to reserve the room every Tuesday. If you are considering attending the group, please join our Facebook page and take part in the conversation so that we hear from as many voices as possible.

Game group meetings to resume 28th July 2020

Our venue, The Victoria, is re-opening their meeting room and our group will officially be meeting again from Tuesday, 28th July at the usual 7:30pm start time.

In order for this to happen, the pub has laid down the following rules:

1. Our usual numbers of attendees (generally 12-16) is okay for the room.
2. Everyone must sign in with contact details for Track & Trace purposes; our intention is to have our own sign-in sheet in the room to make sure we get everyone
3. Members must respect the one way system in place: to reach the bar you must go down the passage and back in through the front door
You are allowed to go straight into the link to access the toilets and straight out again to the meeting room but must not move from the link directly into the main pub
Members must not cross on the stairs going up and down to the room
The window and door must be open at all times for ventilation
On arrival everyone must use the sanitising gel that is in the meeting room

There is no obligation for anyone to attend if you are not comfortable doing so. Some of our members have already said they will continue staying away for the time being, and we won't necessarily be sure how many will be there on any given week.

We therefore highly recommend staying in touch via our Facebook group where ongoing discussion of attendance and any other developments will happen first.
