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.

Do we want to keep the forum or has it run its course?
I think the forum is redundant personally.

Re: Do we want to keep the forum or has it run its course?
I think Arranging Games & Wanted / For Sale can go.
Club Discussion may need some thought re pinned topics & some other topics.
Is only a FB presence best for club?
Should the matter be raised on the FB page also?
If forum removed need to consider where it's referred to.
If you want to get ahead in life - get an axe.

I think it gives us a presence in the world of the web so yes, keep it.
Kind regards

Re: Do we want to keep the forum or has it run its course?
I think we should keep the forum. But make people aware of it and attach the forum page to the Facebook one and the vice versa. As there still people out there that do not like using Facebook it's another option for them. Keep all options still on the forum as for sale in second-hand stuff may come handy as there's issues arising with eBay with taxes. Is there a way to make the form look a little bit more attractive and appealing possibly?

The forum is easier to search for specific subjects, in my view, but Facebook works well when arranging games.

Additional sections added to the forum would be good one for campaigns and one for a hobby and interests.
