Hello fellow rats..........

Last wednesday. was the last........ :'(

My store is quitting warhammer evenings!
The boss says it was mainly to do with the lack of money, they have to pay the person there who sits at the desk, and who sells things. Even on minimum salary this is costing to much. So they can't affort it enymore.

I am now looking for alternatives, maybe my store will organise a warhammer day every 2 weeks during normal open times....... but the're not sure yet. I am currently looking for alternatives. I would like to know if anybody knows a nice story, who organises free warhammer eve's or weekends or days or whatever in region of S'hertogenbosh, the netherlands.

Cheerz, Willqueek

Buy a table or two and find a local pub (or in your case coffee shop...) and ask them if its allowed to do some battles every now and then. They sell drinks, you can play...everybody happy (except for the minors who arent allowed to drink yet...)

WHAHAAHAAAHAAAHAAAaaAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

Ahum...


Sorry.

My store in Ghent still does warhammer evenings, but I m wondering for just how much longer? This evening (its every thursday ) there were about 10 people in the shop and Bo (the shop owner) only sold 1 box. Thats not much for being open 3 extra hours. So I can understand why they stop the evenings.
*Giggle whheeheh he's not allowed to drink yet* cough, ahum. sorry again.

Maybe you should talk with the other loyal "once a week we meet during the evening in this shop" people and try to find a solution? People would be more then welcome to my house if
- they help me buy 2 or more warhammer tables :D
- buy my cans of coke and fanta and sprite for 1 euro each :D
- clean my house afterwards. :angry:

...you can still call me Rusty Tincanne if you want, though.

My FLGS recently moved and now has a room with gaming tables. (Don't worry, I promise this is going somewhere pertinent. :P) WFB is played once a month now on a Sunday. As you mentioned, no one really buys anything. So I made a promise to myself that I will buy a $5 gift certificate each time I am there to play. That way they get at least $5 and I slowly set aside money for new minis. If you all did that at your store, perhaps the owner would change his mind. (This is a more feasible idea when you only play 1-2 times/month.)

Another idea is to share the space with another type of game. Magic the Gathering or Pokemon are the type of game where players are constantly shelling out cash AND it only takes a little space to play.

Good luck with this Willqueek. I, for one, do not wish to see you switch games since that would draw you away from this place. And you are already a fixture here! :D
So let us know if you need us to dispatch our agents to help that owner "see the light" as it were. :ph43r:

Depending on where you actually live, check local magazines and newspapers for gaming clubs around the area. Here in Oz, our White Dwarf maintains a master list of stores as well as small gaming clubs that run miniature battles on a regular basis.

I guess what I'm trying to get at here try to find a club rather than a store; then, the whole matter of the store doing business to justify the gaming is no longer an issue.

I would like to say that we have found a solution! A vew members of our group have speculated about things ect.

Now we must go to the 'kamer van koophandel' and we can be an official association. Then we can hire a place that is 2 as big, with 3 times better storeage for only 30 Eur the person per 14 Months. I am lovin it :)

@ Koffietje, your local store is the one in Ghent? i'm currently studying in Ghent so if you are up for it why not do a battle... Skaven civil war style :ph43r:
