Boardgamegeek Guild!
I have decided to post our club as a guild on BoardGameGeek. The image above will take you straight to the guild
What this means is that you will be now able to join the guild as a member showing your support for our club. You will be able to upload pictures, submit reviews, session reports etc. I know we have the Yahoo Group to do this but we can now do it on a wider scale (Globaly). There are thousands of members on boardgamegeek that will eventually get redirected through the boardgamegeek guild to our website. Just imagine what this can do for us. Imagine somebody from another country visiting the North Wales area and they want to visit our club! All because of what they have seen on boardgamegeek. Please could all members already a part of boardgamegeek join to show your support. The link is in this description. If your not part of boardgamegeek I urge you to join and become part of the guild.
