Dear All,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end of our collaboration with Mansions of the Future due to the circumstances placed upon us throughout the Covid-19 lockdown. It is, however, my pleasure to end the uncertainty for our group with the announcement that a new location has been secured. It will not have the full accessibility and options provided in our previous space, but it will allow us to continue operating a space for people to socialise and play games. It is still our focus to help those with socially-limiting issues around social anxiety and mental health as a peer-group. Due to the change in space, it will not be possible to provide access to the entire library of games each week - though the space itself will enable us to provide some more access to specialist games - so there will follow a blog post with a full list of games that we can offer and ask you, the community, to let us know which games you wish to have available at our new location. This will let us know which games are favourites - and allow us to introduce new games from our library as requested so maximum utility can be achieved in our provision. For those who do not know the new location, we will be operating in the Games Room in Goliath Games, 391-392 High Street, Lincoln and following best guidance for social distancing moving forward.
We will also switch to a weekly 3-hour drop-in, drop-out model from the 9th July 2020 from 12pm-3pm. This means that if someone does not feel able to join for the full duration they are welcome to join us for any length of time they feel comfortable - to visit us and get a feel for the group or play one or two shorter games and not feel compelled to stay for the full duration, nor feel compelled to be under pressure to attend from the start of the event. I hope this good news goes some way to alleviate the bad news, and hope to start seeing you soon!
Frank.
