Could this be made a sticky like the player finder? It would be useful resource, rather than having people ask about gaming clubs in their locality and hope to get a response.
Also, it would be useful to have some basic club information (day, games, contact)
e.g.
Name: Norwich Last Stand
Games: 40k only
When: Every Thursday, central Norwich
Contact: www.norwichlaststand.com
Anyway, here is my 2 cents: (i'm not part of either, but thought i'd contribute what I know)
In Cardiff:
Firestorm Games A nice little shop, with 'over 35 boards' to play on in the back.
And in Tonteg (a little further away from Cardiff):
Draig Bach Gaming Club.
Never been here myself, but saw a poster for them in the GW shop in Cardiff, and took note as I live relatively close by.
Still looking for interest for this (hence the 0 likes). Should hopefully getting advertisement locally soonish. It's quite a small area, but just in case anyone on here's from around:
The Emperors 10th
When - Every Friday from 7:30 and some Saturdays
Where - Belvedere, Kent
What - Gaming, modelling and painting
https://www.facebook.com/TheEmperors10th
How the hell did I not find out about any of those when I still lived in Bournemouth? Just getting back into the hobby now and plan on playing with some of my old Bournemouth friends when I get the chance, but even so.
There's one local to me (not actually been along yet!):

This is one of the reasons I wanted to start the list. As it wasn't untill after set up mine I found out about others in the area.
Great Idea , here's the local club me and a few of my friends frequent:

Open every Sunday from 12:00-17.00 and Wednesday from 17:00 - 22:00 above the Cantina Cafe in Darlington. We are a very active wargaming club playing mainly Games Workshop games but all other types of war-games are welcomed. We are based in the Voodoo Cafe, Darlington, DL3 7LX.
But seriously until the local GW closed it's gaming nights, I had heard of a couple but never went, much happier now
It's still by Shakeaway, right? Had a sudden mental blank where I couldn't remember if it had moved from or to the Triangle.
It's actually some of my Bournemouth friends who inspired me to get back into it; a friend's boyfriend has managed to convince her to play, suddenly everyone pops out of the woodwork... Going to make sure I have an army to take down with me next time I visit.
We meet at the Gilead Congregational Chapel Hall in Coity, just outside Bridgend, every Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. We also hold long day sessions for bigger and more time consuming games. These are usually the first Sunday of every other month from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.

We are a friendly gaming club of around 20 members. Our members participate in a very wide and varied list of games covering sci-fi, fantasy and historical.
There's at least one in Watford and one in Letchworth (I think).
I'd be grateful of discovering one in Welwyn Garden City, as despite the local WH Smith stocking all 3 wargame mags plus White Dwarf, I've never managed to find a local gaming scene.

Nice work on this thread!
Perhaps we can have another thread or perhaps detail in this thread for tournaments and events also broken down to region?
I have major difficulties finding local events until its too late, events in the South seem hard to come by.
Got another update for Warpath in Norwich, I've finally dragged the club kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, you can now contact us via e-mail or facebook.

That's just my club, but I know of at least two others in the city with a decent following (just not the same numbers or game variety). There's plenty more out there, but I would have to research a site like Carronande (a wargames show that has much club participation) to make a dent in them. =P

We're struggling to get the club going again. I only joined a few months ago but attendance seems to have dropped off a cliff recently.
I think the Hertfordshire bit needs updating. There is Thor's Hammer gaming club near Borehamwood and I'm trying to find the Watford club someone mentioned on Bolter & Chainsword but can't log in to contact the guy (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318816-watford-war-games/).

Thanks.
The club has been going for a fair few years now. We have a committee who deal with generally keeping the club going. There is a £2 charge which is only to cover the hire of the room. Your first trip to club, whether you play or not, is always free. Don't play don't pay, so even if you stop by a few times, if you're just there for a chat you're more than welcome. Games are usually arranged in advance via the forum or facebook, however if you have no access to either we ALWAYS try to implement the FGC guarantee which means you will get a game of something!!
As an aside, unfortunately as far as I know the Flintshire Fanatics are no longer a group as they lost their venue and a few of their members moved to join our club.

When: Club Nights are always Tuesday and Friday from about 6pm onwards. Sunday's are often all day. Please refer to our Forum to help organise a game!
What: Warhammer 40K, The Horus Heresy, Age of Sigmar, Fantasy Battles the Ninth Age, Necromunda, Warhammer 40K Conquest, many other games too! We also run numerous public events for non members to attend.
From the website:
"We meet at the Crown Wood Youth & Community Centre, Crown Wood, Bracknell.
There is a large, free carpark. The hall is large and well lit, and there are local shops 2 minutes away.
The Club meets on Sundays, two or occasionally three times a month, starting at 9:30 am (we have no respect for early Sunday mornings!) and continuing until at least 5:30 pm.
This gives an uninterrupted 8 hours of gaming - how big do you want your game??"
About Us, Getting To Know Us. The Nottingham Board and Wargames club is a tabletop gaming club based in or around the Centre of Nottingham. It was created by Matt Anderson and Gary Powell in order to encourage more gamers in the ‘Lead Belt’ to forgo the normal isolated style of gaming and be much more inclusive.
While many people happily game at a friends or colleagues home they decided that gaming was more than just moving pieces around the table it was about having fun, socialising and learning about other great games out there by gamers impassioned over the game's they play.
And its about drinking beer.

Just a heads up but in Durham, Games of War is no longer operating as a gaming area. Hasn't been for quite a few years. It is still a shop but it's moved online only now.
Instead, in Sunderland there is Battle Bunker ltd. A great place to play a variety of games but predominantly 40k.
