They are currently running a Kickstarter project to help fund some extras for the store (Wi-Fi access, coffee machine etc) – this is due to finish on the 24th January.
Always good news to have a new gaming venue in the area, and we wish Rob Davy-Cripwell and Ian Mann all the very best in this new venture.
I’m looking forward to having another local shop and venue.
I’m surprised they didn’t ask you to open it Gav, I’ve heard they went for a real z-list celebrity to cut the ribbon 😉
Nah, I got upstaged by Andy Hobday 🙂
