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.
