Welcome to AVGS
The Alder Valley Games Society (AVGS) is a non-profit making organisation of local gamers. Our primary role is to provide a venue for players and referees of role-playing games in the Alder Valley region.
- We play a wide variety of Role Playing Games (RPGs), ranging all the way from Vampire The Masquerade, Call Of Cthulhu and Twilight 2000 to Star Wars and D&D. Any game you want to play, you will surely find a referee who has played it before; any game you want to run, you will surely find eager players.
- There are a few tabletop wargames, usually on Sundays.
- Every 1st Sunday of the month is "board game Sunday", so if you are into board games, this is a good day. Those who don''t like board games can still play other games of course!
Our club venue is:
The Games Shop
6 Wellington Street
Aldershot
Hampshire
GU11 1DZ
Tel: 01252 311443
Click here for a map | We meet three times a week:
Tuesday evening, 8:00pm - 11:45pm
Friday evening, 8:00pm - 11:45pm
Sunday afternoon and evening, 2:00pm - 11:45pm
|
Games often run either weekly, 2-weekly or monthly, so you would most likely be playing in a "Wednesday game" or "alternate Sunday" game - you would not have to come to every session to avoid missing out. If in doubt, check the days/dates with the referee.
Your first games session at Alder Valley Games Society is free. Your next four games sessions after that are at membership rate, so that you''ve got time to decide whether you like us or not. After that, you will have hopefully decided that you want to join our club.
Each gaming session costs £1.00 table fees for members, and £1.50 for non-members. This is to cover the rental of the hall. Annual membership is just £1, and the membership year runs from July to June. Only paid-up members are eligible to vote in the society''s Annual General Meeting in October.
AVGaS have a Yahoo news group. This is a source of up-to-date news and information regarding the club, any announcements from the committee, or any other discussions that members wish to make. It can go through quiet spells at times, and other times it can have heated discussions - don''t worry if you see flames, we are actually a very friendly bunch and one of the most approachable RPG clubs around!

Nick Harrison, chairman - chair@avgas.org.uk
Matthew Day, membership secretary - membersecretary@avgas.org.uk

Urgent New: Games Shop Has Been Sold |
|
|
|
|
|
|
moondragon writes " People,
last Tuesday, 9 June 2009, I was informed that Dan Steel had sold the Games Shop and that the new owner would be taking over in early July. I informed the rest of the committee immediately and we attempted to gather further information. On Thursday, 11 June 2009, I was contacted by the new owner Mr. Rhys Knight. His email message read:
My name is Rhys Knight, and myself and my wife Hilary will be purchasing the Games Shop in Aldershot at the end of June 2009.
Mike has forwarded me your email, so we can arrange a meeting regarding AVGAS and the Games Shop.
Firstly I would like to say that the basic running of the shop will not be changing, we will still be carrying the same stock lines and and gaming. You may find some new products in the shop, but these are to encourage new trade and not put off existing buyers and gamers.
I am very keen to discuss the gaming side and AVGAS with you, so we can get everything in place for when we take over.
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you.

The committee arranged to meet with him this sunday at the Games Shop. We had a frank discussion with him. He is an ex-Games Workshop employee and has been working at Esdevium Games. He is a long time gamer himself. After talking with him the committee feels that this change in ownership will be a positive move for AVGAS. Many of the problems we are having with the Games Shop should be resolved by this change in management. The committee will be calling an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) around mid July to place all the information before the members.
Please note that the change in management has caused a number of the staff at the Games Shop to leave. This is likely to impact on the AVGAS session hours. I believe that this Tuesday will be 08:00 to 10:30 and next Sunday will be 14:00 to 18:00. The committee apologies for the problems this is causing you and ask that you are patience until the new management take over.
Scot MacNaughton
AVGAS Secretary

your forthcoming AVGaS gaming sessions:

16th June)
