Check out my painting page on Facebook. Wartable Painting.
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

Hodge-Podge says: Run with the Devil, Shout Satan's Might. Deathtongue! Deathtongue! The Beast arises tonight!
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.

We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't. - Frank Howard Clark
The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.
The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox
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.
