You are invited to join us this Tuesday to play boardgames, enjoy the company of fellow boardgamers, and keep the gaming happening. Please note that we are meeting in Hall 1 this week while our usual venue in Hall 2 is being renovated.

WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of gamers who provide an informal, safe, and friendly space for the regular playing of board games by people of all ages and types. We have been meeting and playing boardgames in the Mt Albert area for twenty-one years now, meeting since 2nd November 2004.

HOW OFTEN DO WE MEET?
Because Tuesdays are a really good time to play boardgames, we meet on the second and fourth, Tuesdays of each month. We also meet on the fifth Tuesday if there is one.

WHEN AND WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet from 7 pm until 10 pm. This Tuesday we are meeting at our regular venue: the Western Springs Garden Community Hall opposite Western Springs Park at 956 Great North Road.

WHAT SORT OF GAMES DO WE PLAY?
The games we play range from simple fun games to cunning games of strategy. We play games like Settlers of Catan, Isle of Cats, Carcassonne, Power Grid, Ticket to Ride, Azul, Agricola, Dominion, Tsuro, Bohnanza, Everdell, Puerto Rico, Ark Nova, Calico, Saboteur, Sushi Go, and Wingspan, amongst many others. But don’t worry if you don’t know how to play a particular game, someone will teach you.

IS THERE ANY COST?
We need to pay for the venue hire so we ask for a $5 contribution. This also helps us maintain a small games library. You are able to pay in person by cash on the night or deposit directly to our bank a/c 02-0100-0586563-067 (The account name is Charles Grinter). First time visitors are not asked to contribute the $5.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER MEETING GUIDELINES (GAMERS LOVE RULES)?
1. Please bring along games and fellow gamers.
2. Keep it safe and fun. People of a variety of ages and dispositions come along to enjoy playing board games. Please do the same and keep your behaviour welcoming and friendly.
3. A contribution of $5 is requested. This assists with paying the venue hire, and maintaining a small games library. If you wish to borrow a game between meetings, there’s a book to record the game, your name and contact details. Just bring the game back to the next meet.
4. People bring along their valuable games for others to share - please take care when playing their games and ask permission before using one! It is the responsibility of everyone who plays a game to assist with packing it up and making sure that no pieces are missing.
5. You are welcome to bring along food and non-alcoholic drinks. Please take your rubbish with you and leave everything clean. If you are there at the end of a game, please help to pack up games, tables and chairs.
6. When choosing "one last game", please remember that we need to vacate promptly at 10pm due to our hire agreement. Also, please remember that those locking up may have family to care for and work to do on Wednesday morning.
7. Generally these have not been problems, but it's worth stating explicitly as new people come along.
8. Please continue to spread the word and invite others to join us.
