I've made some enquiries into venues for a gaming club to meet, and I have two options. Both are acceptable to me, but obviously I'd like to get the opinions of everyone involved/interested.
First option is the local Scouts troop building. It's available on saturday afternoons at £10 an hour, which includes the use of toilets (including accessible toilet), kitchen, pots, heating, etc. Ample space in the main hall and ample tables on-site we could use. We'd need to bring scenery and such along, but for ACtA (or other space games) the tables would be pretty much fine. Parking on-site for about six cars, reasonably easy to get to by road. It's right on the Spondon Flyer bus route from the city centre, so those coming in by bus or rail would be able to get there easy enough.
Second option is the local parish room. It's also available on saturday afternoons, for the slightly-cheaper price of £7 per hour. Facilities are much the same as the Scouts' place, but newer. Basically no parking on site but there's a car park across the road, five minutes walk away. Also easy to get to by bus, Spondon Flyer into the village and walk about ten minutes.
I'm easy which way you guys want to go. If you want me to look into more venues I can, but I don't think we'll find anything cheaper or better than either of these. If anyone interested in participating could make their opinion known, I can move things along.
Naturally, we'll need a commitee to deal with the money and such. I'll happily organise things for now but I don't want to get landed with the treasurer's job, I hate maths and counting money that isn't mine. Anyway, over to you guys, I've prattled on long enough.

or derby club, or nottingham club or something. after all I am in the midlands but would take me a good 90mins-2hrs to get to you 
My problem is free time. I'd love to come along but Saturdays would be once a month at best (whether it's a Nottingham Forest match, running, travel, etc.) Tuesdays would be your best bet for me but as I book up so quickly I wouldn't plan around me, I'll simply show up as often as I can... as for the venues - either sounds good to me.
