Beyond Monopoly!
United Kingdom
York
-
In the UK, when the local paper does a splash on a local anniversary for a local business, all their contractors or suppliers or pals take out ads saying stuff like "Congratulations blahblah* on your four fantastic years from your friends at so-and-so Taxis**". Now it's your turn.
This Saturday will be the first February meeting of Beyond Monopoly!, York's friendliest boardgames club. It is also
OUR 4TH BIRTHDAY!!!!
If you live near York, Leeds, Sheffield, basically anywhere north of London, then you have got to visit us at the Railway Institute in York! We are just a few metres from the station, so Leeds gamers can easily reach us. And Sheffield gamers. Everyone in the universe in fact. Hugo will give you a lift from Garforth.
We have now got over 250 games in our permanent collection, and regular visitors are allowed to borrow games between meets.
The club is open from 10AM-6PM and your first day is free! Normal prices are; £3 for adults, £2 students/unwaged/pensioners and £1 for children 8-12 yrs. Feel free to pop by anytime, you can come and go as you like. We don't throw you out at 6pm either.
The club is in the Railway Institute on Queen Street, York (a stone's throw from the railway station). Turns out that the RI does not bother if you use their car parking on the weekend. Turn up early (before 10am) and beat the ballet dancers to a parking spot.
There's an NCP car park at the rear of the RI, while the York Council parking on Nunnery Lane is a 5 minute walk. There are plenty of poles/railings etc. to chain bikes to, while plenty of buses stop at the station (including Park and Ride). We'll be in room 1 on the top floor. Directions for those still unsure: http://bmyork.pbwiki.com/Find%20The%20Railway%20Institute
The bar normally serves food until 1.30 and drink until 2.30, and there is no problem with bringing your own food. A water bottle is an excellent idea for the afternoon (there are taps it can be filled from).
So what are you waiting for? A warm welcome and a wide variety of modern, fast, fun boardgames (and some old favourites) are in store. See you on Saturday at Beyond Monopoly!
P.S. Dont forget to have a look at our Guild here on Boardgamegeek: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/guild/117
* don't put blahblah, put Beyond Monopoly! instead.
** don't put so-and-so taxis. Blimus! Do i have to explain everything? Ia m only a sock puppet you know.

I guess since they are only 4 they haven't learned Internet etiquette yet.

AHHH!!!
Cut that subject line down, it's killing my front page's feng shui.
Either that, or people need to quit replying to the message so it drops off the list. Oh, wait a minute...

Beyond Monopoly! is the best thing that could ever have happened to me whilst I was in Yorkshire! I moved there for about four years, and after a few months of lonely misery, I was introduced to Jon Power, who is the main founder of the twice-per-month boardgaming group! I made many long-term friends through this organisation, and keep tabs on the club via those friendships. Now that I am back home in Southern California, I miss going to Beyond Monopoly! greatly, and every time I am back in the UK I find my way up there on the first and/or third Saturday of the month.
I must say that anyone within reasonable traveling distance of this club should attend, and will find a very large library of games to enjoy, and many good people with which to play those games.
Happy Birthday to you, Beyond Monopoly!, and may you celebrate many more with all the wonderful friends who will be in attendance!

Congratulations!
As a fellow BM! attendee I can vouch that it is indeed the friendliest boardgames club Northeast of Tadcaster, South of Haxby and West of Pocklington!
May it continue to grow and prosper - If anyone knows of anyone willing to donate a games cabinet with lockable doors (those chess players don't seem very trustworthy) please get in touch with Jon Power - and have many happy returns!
Cheerio!
P.S: Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the Birthday Party. Have Fun!
