We host regular open days for prospective members so they can see our facilities and meet some of our existing members. Join us to play some games and have a tour of the venue.
We'll have everything from the Playstation to the N64 to the Atari 2600 set up and ready to play as well as our huge collection of top board games - come join us for an afternoon of gaming of all types.
This event will show you how to get started creating basic 3D VR scenes/games. It will be more of a workshop format - I'll demo on my screen and you'll be able to work alongside me as we show the ins and outs of the software. It's easy to learn and experiment with as it's all based on Javascript and HTML.
We'll have some VR headsets so you can try out what you are creating in a proper virtual environment.
Join us for a regular monthly show-and-tell showcasing what members are hosting in their homelabs. Intro talk demoing some of the skills involved and how to run it at home or on your own server.

We'll be screening some classic and new Batman too and if we dig deep enough we might be able to find some Batman board games or even the role playing game from 1989!
A regular book group night to discuss sci-fi and expand our reading horizons! This month we're reading anything by Charles Stross The topic for our next book group might be first encounters, robots, etc - we'll decide on the night depending on people's interests.

An introduction to 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons hosted by Brian (and now also Fraser and Iain).

Aimed at absolute beginners. We'll show how to securely connect to a server then we'll work through Bandit, an adventure game set in the command line that progresses step-by-step from the basics to common programs and beyond.
