Virtual Wargames Club..?

I've been thinking...
Dangerous. But true.

At the moment, I'm noticing I've got time to listen to podcasts, enjoy reading the odd blog, and even look around the various social media groups.
There's a spirit of connectedness in his period of lockdown.

And yet, sometimes there's nothing like a good face-to-face chat about the hobby. Whether that be at a club or a show.

So... Whilst the wonders of modern technology can't bring us into contact directly...

what about a Virtual Wargames Club?

Not a club where we play wargames, but where that other part of the hobby is conducted, namely a good old chat.
We'd talk about painting, current projects, rule sets, books, figures, terrain making, modelling, all manner of the sort of stuff we chat about at shows and at clubs. The sort of stuff that helps keep the painting ands gaming mojo going.

The wonders of zoom (is there anyone on the planet who is not yet familiar with this?) allow this to happen in many other arenas, so why not wargaming?

I'd be happy to host it, and set it up, I'd just need to know there would be enough interest to make it worthwhile. Initially I think we might have a dozen or so, or maybe more... Who knows.

If you might be interested, drop me an email:
Phil(at)philolley(dot)com
with "Virtual Wargames Club" in the subject line.

It will most likely be a Saturday morning around 1030 - 1130 UK time. 
Now, I know that might not suit some of our overseas pals... so if you are in, for example, the US or Canada, Australia or NZ, let me know in the email and I'll see if we can find a time that accommodates everyone.

If you aren't familiar with zoom, it will become very apparent how it works when you join the first meeting. I'll send out full instructions in advance.

At this stage I'm not sure we'd want to do it weekly, fortnightly, monthly. Who knows.
Let's just see who might be up for it...
