We are a roughly 60/40 mix of men and women, ages ranging from 78 to a low of 18 with an average of 32. I am the founder and primary host and so we typically meet at my home on Saturdays but occasionally a session is hosted by one of our members. Our average group size has been 8-16 in size. We play games by group consensus so there are no guarantees of any specific game being played, including my own, of which I have over 165 games to choose from. There are no fees or charges to join or play with our group.
In 2006, Southend gamers introduced summer dayhikes, offroad exploration and potluck
barbecues that include both indoor and outdoor games that have been very
popular. Outdoor games include bocce ball, croquet, lawn darts
(original!), badminton, bean bag baseball, snake ball and a professional
ring toss game.
I provide snacks though we often
order pizza, so please come prepared to pay your fair share. You should bring your own drink(s) and a favorite game, if any, is
welcome to introduce to the group.
A busy day at Southend Gamers.
I try to write a session report for every event and also take photos of a session that has new members with a brief synopsis of the players attending and what games were played to help members get to know one another better and get a feeling for the games themselves.
If you are allergic to cats, be warned - I have two. My home is no smoking but you may smoke outside if you wish.
If you'd like to stop in for a visit to see what's up first, feel free to do so, game day or not. Just call and arrange a meeting.
