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. \nThe 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.

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.

A highly regarded instrumentalist to boot\, Sam is renowned by many as “the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation” (Jon Boden) and has been described as having a ‘killer voice’ by Ivor Novello- winning musician Nitin Sawhney. \nHis impressive back catalogue and captivating live shows attest to his ability to bring together a diverse set of influences from English folk song and American shapenote singing through to hard rock. \nSam has made appearances on national TV\, won a BBC Folk Award\, and has toured the world\, sharing stages with some of folk’s leading lights\, including Richard Thompson\, Eliza Carthy\, Martin Simpson and Nancy Kerr. \nDoors and bar at 7pm\, music at 7:40pm. \nSupport from the Three Idle Women.
