ECBG Friday Meetup

ECBG Friday Meetup

Fri, Jul 24, 9:00 AM
From Board Gamers Guild, Eastern Suburbs
4.7

We are ECBG, the Eastern Community Boardgame Group and we meet every Friday at 7pm. Come join us to experience lots of fun with board games, card games, social deduction games and more! We're a friendly group with a diverse group of attendees and welcome everyone to participate. Feel free to come along whether you're a seasoned veteran or just want to try out the hobby. We have lots of people that bring games along and they're all happy to teach games to new players. Bring your own games if you like too, announce the game you wish to run and you'll find players within our group. If you're new, don't worry about lack of numbers in prior attendance lists, we typically have 20-35 players each week. Attendance at our meetups is free, but Easts Club do require you to sign in to enter the club so valid ID is required. Although optional, if you start to attend our free events regularly, you may wish to consider joining Easts as a member in which case there is a small per year membership fee (under $10) to Easts and comes with perks and discounts. You can inquire further on this with Easts direct as you enter the club. We generally meet in the Bondi Room, the large area next to Artie's Bar on Level 1. Sometimes when there is an event on, we might be in Artie's Bar itself instead or in the function room on level 3. Club staff should be able to direct you to us if you're lost. Just ask where the board gaming group is. See you there!
