Title: Group Gaming Venues
Post by: lentulus on 04 August 2010, 01:29:46 PM
I suspect that local culture is a factor here.  I am from Canada; I have gamed here in folks homes and in community centers - for quite a while at a student union building, but only at a pub when I visited London - so if you would volunteer where you live and where you game (besides voting) I would be curious.

"solo gaming excluded"

Thats it - go and make us feel even more "billy-no-mates" for having to game solo :o

Just to bugger up your poll I'm going to vote anyway as revenge for solo-wargamers everywhere :D

I'm like nosher...solo-gaming accounts for 99% of my gaming - so I've voted for "home of..." although technically, it's the garage / man-cave  ;D

The vast majority of my gaming is at my local club which is about 12 miles away, in a village hall that the club rents for the night. The odd trip to Niks garage/man cave (of which I am extremely jealous) is about the only other gaming I get in. I'd like to do more solo gaming at home but a lack of space and time due to work and family have put pay to that.

Mainly my house to be honest, this came about when my second child was born, and it meant I didnt leave my wife with two kids under 3 to try to get to bed, the kids go to bed fine now, but we still play here... we do mainly role playing though, which is why for the dino hunting I wanted smaller figures so that I can have bigger games.
THere is a club here in Lerwick, I dont get down as much as I would like to, but thats the way it goes I suppose

I must drag myself down again sometime :-[

Working on Sundays can be a pain.

Hit the "other" button in the poll because we dont pay for our venue, the  Aerospace Wings club at the Broughton factory. Club memebers, and frequent vistors (like me) pay £1  per meeting, which go into the sports and social funds.

Feel free to turn up most Thursdays.

We rent rooms  above a hardware store in Stoke on Trent. Annual membership though is £150. Works out at £3 a night but they dont allow casual membership. In fact due to work and baby meaning I may only get to club once a month next year I may have to look elsewhere for gaming. There are a couple of other clubs close by but I have been a member at Stoke for 20 years now so would be sorry to leave.

Crikey... :o

Anyone wanting to pay me £150 a year for membership is more than welcome to game in my games room...as much as you like  8)
