Well The 16th has been and gone. What happened??
Well I was a little worried that either
A: Nobody would bother to turn up..... or
B: Loads of people would appear expecting a slick ready formed club.
In the end we had four people turn up, Myself and the wife account for two. The other two consisted of someone that works for the venue who had changed shifts just to play, and the other had traveled some distance just for a game.
Things are looking up for next time as four more people have shown an interest in coming along.
The venue seems ideal for our purposes and with all participants ordering food and drinks helping to swell the till slightly it's win win all round..
I'm carrying on with the Facebook and Twitter advertising campaign and a poster / flyer blitz is on the cards.
Next meeting Thursday 30th April 19:30 at the Firebrand Don't forget this Wednesday Chess and this Thursday Scrabble.

Well done Paul - I've been there...standing about waiting for players to show up and wondering whether to pack up and go home. Now we often get 16 players on a Thursday evening at our Ealing club. Keep up the good work!
