The society is a non-profit organisation made to further enjoyment of the hobby in all aspects. It is also a great opportunity for players to play games with new people and expand participants’ knowledge and passion for Warhammer and similar strategy games. Whilst these are the main games played there is always room for others and we have board games such as, Rumble Slam, Scythe and many more.
The club is based above the willows shake shop at the heart of Abingdon town centre and sessions take place on Mondays and Wednesday between 6:30pm and 10:00pm. On Saturday it starts at 10:30am and ends at 4:00pm. There will always be one committee member at each session to welcome you, and of course me on a Wednesday.
If you want to know more you can email (bloodandwar40@gmail.com) or check out our website (https:/a-grim-dark-gaming-society.square.site/).
In the evenings and at the weekend you can get refreshments downstairs such as milkshakes, coffee tea and cold drinks so there’s a wide variety of hot or cold food available, depending on your taste. All in all this is a great opportunity for people who want to play strategy games for a small fee or you can watch the games and seek advice for free.

Please note that they don’t carry spares but, if your bike needs new parts or bigger repairs, we recommend Abingdon’s two excellent local bike shops: Pedal Power (in the Vineyard) and Behind Bars (at the back of Coxeters House)
