Join us for our regular Tuesday board game evening at the Castle Tap.
All are welcome! There is usually a good selection of games to play brought along by members who are always happy to teach them, or alternatively please bring along any of your own games you would like to play. The games are owned by our members personally, so please treat them with respect and be especially careful with food and drink.
The event starts at 6pm, but you can arrive or leave at any time. Let us know if you are going to arrive later and we'll try to make sure there is a game for you to jump into.
We are in the TV room at the back of the pub
Feel free to introduce yourself and get involved in the comments and discussion section 馃榿
