Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.

Hey everyone,
Many of the old members will know me and I look forward to meeting the new. I used to post under Eragon/Dark Reaper back in the day. Mostly known as Matt though. Also known for tragic tactical awareness, Circle Orboros nonsense and wooden spoon champion. Hoping to pop down to club soon and see what is going on. Keen to try new systems.
Regards, Matt

Re: Returning Gamer
Hi mate,
How are things with you?
We still have the normal real mix of games going on at the club, I normally only play Mantic Games stuff now and am renowned for being a Mantic fanboy ;0).
The only other I take part in is the monthly AD&D session which bye the way is awesome.
Anyway welcome back
Steve.

Re: Returning Gamer
Hi Matt,I think it's been about 2 years since I've actually seen you at the club. Hope you are doing well. Most gaming systems I play nowadays are MESBG( lot of tournaments) and some times 40k. Oh and D&D,when do you think you'll be at the club next?
Cheers Dave
