I'm still on for this evening, with 1000pts of Orks and some terrain, if we have numbers. But I got burned a couple of weeks back, turning up when it wasn't on (stupidly not checking the forum before leaving the house), so please post something to confirm or cancel.

Best,

Paul

I have no idea, best to forget this week though. I can't seem to contact Yemi at the moment.

It's possible if this place doesn't work out, we might have to relocate somewhere outside Greenwich, but not too far to make it harder for everyone else.

Thanks for dropping me a line about this - it's appreciated. I'll check back later on to see if there is any more activity, but it doesn't look too hopeful.

Overall, mind, this is a solid idea and there are plenty of church halls in the Blackheath/Greenwich/Kidbrooke/Lee area that might have an evening slot free. SELWG used to meet at one down the road from me at Grove Park, before they moved on to Catford. Maybe we might investigate alternatives, as suggested, if Sunfields is proving tricky/costly?

I'm not in charge so I can't decide. It doesn't have to be a church though

I might just stick to a London group in days to come

Ok I managed to get into contact with Yemi

He might be able to extend the hours, but we've got to wait a while. It might even end up being outside the Greenwich region, and to somewhere local around it

How we getting along with this gents? Are we any closer to getting things moving?

Going to be weeks at this point
I tend to not speak for Yemi, but he hasn't posted in a while... so we have two options

1. Yemi (bacon) will try and get a better deal from the Church folk to increase the hours/reduce the pay so we can get started there

2. Find another location just outside of Greenwich. He's tried everything that he has access to

If anyone has any suggestions PLEASE say something

Hello all,

Sorry for reviving an old thread. I'm studying (or at least pretending to) at Greenwich University. I'm not looking to join an actual playing club at the moment since I live quite far away and it would be a real hassle to bring my minis with me, and I doubt they'd survive the long trip plus a full day of lectures and seminars, but I would be able to participate in games in a couple of months, once I move closer to the area. For now, I'm looking for more of a social gathering, particularly since I have very long breaks between lectures and there's not much to do except lurk inside Nauticalia or sit in a pub and stare at the owner. Do any of you attend Greenwich Uni?
I've set up a Warhammer Club/Society thingy in the Greenwith University portal.

I would also be willing to help set up games, move furniture around, bring rulebooks, participate in line of sight arguments and generally hang out whilst not actually playing myself, if you're playing close to the University and I happen to be around.

Nice to have another member, but again we dont have a location yet. I've lost contact with Yemi (Bacon) for the moment and I don't know the status of the gaming club. I want to get started as soon as possible, but I'm not in charge (and personally don't want to be)

Also what do you mean "pretend" to be studying? Are you studying or not? I think Yemi tried to host at the university before but I can't remeber why that didn't pull through. Would be nice for a temporary club if your portal allows a room... though would be meaning to wait a few months

Apologies. I am indeed studying at the University of Greenwich. What I meant to say is that I don't study too much, I just waste my time playing video games, playing hockey, painting 40k and so on.

Hosting at the University would be hard. They do have some function rooms in the Student's Union, but as of late they've been really strict regarding guests. I'll ask around though.
The club I've set up in the portal is really just a glorified forum or notice board. Just a way to get people from the Uni with a common interest to share each other's details. It's only available to Greenwich students, and at the moment it seems like I'm the only person in the entire campus who is into it.

Well at least you tried to help. I've been waiting since this was announced.

Also Darksphere in London does game nights on Tuesday (skirmishes including 40k), it seems to be a good option for now for hostings.

Shame you bumped this thread. It's pretty much dead now till Bacon FINALLY decides to return.

I would love to fight your army, add me on messenger/steam some time for a game (spider head @ hot mail .co.uk // Blackgaze)
Or you can catch me at Games Workshop - Oxford Street London these days. I use to be at Bromley, but after a series of bad events I've officially left there.

Hi guys,

Is this happening because i would be interested in coming and paying/playing with some GK and IG.

Wow, that's a thread necro and a half.

If anyone is interested, in the intervening time since this thread was started, THIS has happened, just over the river...
