Hello all! I hope it's ok to drop by with this message...

We have launched a Kickstarter campaign for the brand new Midlands Gaming Centre in Northampton, England.

You can find our Kickstarter at https://www.midlandsgamingcentre.co.uk

The gaming centre is going to provide players from all over the Midlands, and further afield a permanent all inclusive gaming space. The Kickstarter has multiple pledge levels from £1 up to £500 benefiting both people of the midlands and ones from further afield!

We have nearly 3000 sq ft of space which will include :
- Fully licensed Cafe/Bar
- Board & card game library
- Fully stocked gaming supply store
- Large gaming arena with dedicated space for tabletop, board, RPG & card games at all times
- Tournament rooms
- Content creator studio

We have a central Northampton location with its own 20 space private car park that is fully disable accessed.

Attached you can find some information about what we're doing and what we're about. We'd love you to swing by the page, give us a like, follow our journey and hopefully take part in bringing this exciting vision to life. Not only that but during the month of March there will be daily giveaways on the Twitter and Facebook pages so don't hesitate to join just to bag some swag!

If you have any questions, please leave a comment or drop an inbox to the page or email me on info@midlandsgamingcentre.co.uk

IMAGES IN SPOILERS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT HUGE

Interesting.
Will you be hiring out the space for others to run tournaments?

I'm a member of the Phoenix Gaming Club in Rushden and we run fairly regular tournaments but are obviously in competition with other events and groups at our venue for weekend dates, so if we had another option that would be good.

Hey Pete, we certainly will be! We already have people looking to booking A Game Of Thrones LCG and Warhammer Champions CCG tournaments so we are open to any ideas about what you’d want to bring in!

Good stuff!

How many 6x4 tables is the space able to accommodate?

Each tournament room can hold 6 6x4’s respectively accommodating a 24 person tournament in the set away spaces. Across the whole centre we’d have a further 13 tables available without impacting on other games being played.

OK cool thanks, 24 players is what our current venue can hold, so its good to know we could actually go higher than that if we wanted. I look forward to the KS and to see whats on offer. Good luck.

God that flyer has a horrendous font, I can barely read it.

The centre is a great idea and sounds like something I could get behind if it was local to me. Good luck!

That is exactly what my partner said! But here we are!

Well Frostgrave is only up the A45 right?

That really is a spectacularly bad font!

Great idea though and I look forward to watching how the Kickstarter and greater project progress! Good luck!

I didn't even try reading it, that's how bad it is. mono-spaced and sized is a nightmare to read more than a few words of. Anyone with vision problems probably hates you

Ah yeah. I'm in Glasgow, so a 6 hour drive each way unfortunately. If I've ever down that way visiting customers I'll try to pop in but I'm not sure there are any.

Thank you all for the kind words! Even if the font is shaky

However, we are now LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!!!

Please follow our journey at https://www.midlandsgamingcentre.co.uk
