I'm one of the organisers of the local gaming club.
It's a reasonable size, we have about 35 people on our email list. But we only have a handful turning up from month to month. It's so frustrating trying to encourage people to come along. Main reasons are that it conflicts with other things like sports, families and work. But seeing as it's on a Sunday you wouldn't think it would be so bad.
We're pretty social and definately not competitive. Though it would seem local players prefer to play in they're own little groups hidden away in their homes. Well I guess that's gamers for you! but come on if you are looking for a game then support your local club or play at your local store. We've been going now for a couple of years and hopefully things will change but that remains to be seen.

I know how you feel Chris
This has frustrated me at times.
It also seems that pple would still rather play at the Store than at the club.

I thought having the club once a month would make it a good chance to meet as a group and play different people. Maybe it just goes to show most local gamers are hermits.
sometimes it is just the day... often ppl don't or can't arrange a game via email so don't turn up. perhaps a scratch 1000 points could be a standard people could bring. easy to play at short notice and easy to expad to 1750 if someone else brings the points. too many turn up to watch and talk rather than play!!!
