UPDATE 01/07/2024
This last weekend saw the big push to get the old club empty and everything moved over to the new location. It was a strange feeling looking at the old club empty after it being our home for over 20 years. We've had some great memories there and rolled a lot of dice!
But all good things do come to an end and we're moving so the club can continue for another 20 years, with more memories to be made by more members.
The ceiling is now in and looking great and the lights are working. We're now on with building the table, but this leads to the next big debate between members, what should the first game played on them be? We'll have at least eight tables in the new club so will be able to have more games running at once.

Hey, we're getting closer and closer to our big move. Huge thanks to everyone who has helped out, especially our awesome members!
UPDATE - 16/06/2024
Another weekend and another whirlwind of activity with moving from our old venue to the new one. Members split into two groups for the majority of the activity. The first group were in the old club sorting out the myriad of boxes acquired over 20 years of calling the place home. Some have been used more recently than others, but some have not, meaning it was quite a dusty job, hence the face covers (they aren't off to rob a bank in the old west, honest!).
Speaking of dusty jobs, the second team were over in Huddersfield taking down a suspended ceiling that had kindly been donated to us. Two van loads, a trip to Home Bargains to buy emergency supplies, and a questionable Tikka wrap later, the ceiling was down, transported, and moved into the new club. THe next job is getting it back up in the air in the new place.
Also this weekend, the painting has continued. The main room is now looking good after three coats, so the focus has moved to the two store rooms. Both are looking better after a lick of paint.

Massive thanks to veteran club members Mick, Terry, Neil, Martin, Ian, Simon & Ollie for putting in a mighty effort in getting the new club-ready. Especially Neil for tackling the pink wall of Doom.
Hello, fellow gamers!
We have some exciting news to share with you all—it's now official, WE'RE MOVING! 🎉
We’ve signed the lease, got the keys, and given notice on our current premises. There’s a lot of work to do at the new place, and we’ll be updating you regularly on our progress.
The Move
Martin is leading the charge on this project, and we’ve discussed the timeframes to ensure everything is doable. While there’s still some structural work to be completed by the landlord, there's plenty we can get started on in the meantime.
Our New Home
Here's a sneak peek at the main room in our new venue. It’s already looking amazing with the windows unboarded and new glass installed. Though it won’t be perfect overnight, we’re confident that with all of us working together, it will soon feel like home.
New Address
Our new location is: Chesham House, Chesham Rd, Barnsley S70 2NT
We’re thrilled about this move and can’t wait to create new memories in our new home. Stay tuned for more updates as we transform Chesham House into the perfect space for all our tabletop adventures!
