We meet in a large and comfortable ground floor room (with an adjacent bar!) at
the Wessex Hotel, High West St, Dorchester on the 3rd Thursdays of most months.
Start-up time is 7.00pm and we tend to finish at about 11.00pm, although there
is theoretically no end time as the hotel has a night porter.
Participation is the name of the game, so anyone turning up will be recruited
into a game without difficulty (if they want to be!) You are welcome to drift
in for a short while to see what is going on, needless to say. Age (physical or
mental) is no barrier although we cannot be responsible for children without an
accompanying adult. We play mainly
historical wargames in a wide variety of periods, although fantasy games figure
regularly. The room we’re in has
enough tables, chairs and space to put on three or four 8’x 4’ games at
once. We’ve usually got between 15 and 25 people attending a good
evening, so turn up promptly if you want to find space to put on a game!
We’re not exactly a club, as there are no subs and the only rule is that you’ve
got to be friendly (and patronise the bar, to be fair, as the Wessex have been
very generous to let us have the venue for nothing). Folk gather from
far-flung places like Yeovil, Bridport, Wimbourne (and even Weymouth!) Most of us game elsewhere on other
weeks, so it’s a good chance to meet up with other local wargamers as possible
once a month to find out what else is going on.
