BGB members are invited to join the monthly Le Marshalate game day.
The Le Marshalate game club has been meeting for decades. Most current gaming is strategy (Euro) games, rail games, and war games. Regular meetings are on the third Saturday of each month in a rented room at the American Legion hall in Salem, New Hampshire. It is a good space with room for a two dozen people. (Many attendees do not RSVP here, so there may be more people than you see in Meetup’s RSVP count. I edit my guest count to estimate attendance, but it varies.)
Please join us for an enjoyable day of board gaming. The event is currently sponsored by members, and guests are welcome. The doors open sometime between 12:00 and 1:00, and filler games may be played before the main events. At 1:00, all games should stop so that people arriving by 1:00 have an opportunity to get into a game.
The hall is a 30-minute drive from Nashua. A GPS will take you along Route 111, but, if you would like a slightly more scenic/fun drive, head for Sherburne Road in Pelham first, and then let the GPS plot the rest of the route. It should take you along 38 to the back of the Mall at Rockingham Park.
The venue is carry in, carry out—please take your trash with you. You should be fully vaccinated two weeks prior to meeting. Please do not attend when you are sick.
Le Marshalate has a mailing list.
(Sometimes there have been fifth-Saturday events, for which $5 is charged to cover room rental. These are not currently planned.)
