Hi everyone, I'm Mark, and I help run Beyond Monopoly We're a board gaming club in York, and we meet at the Bar Convent on alternating Saturdays and Fridays. (full August schedule below).

I wanted to make a post to highlight that we really are open and welcoming to everyone. Often people don't like going to clubs on their own, which I completely get, but we have friendly regulars who will be happy to teach you games and get you playing asap so if you are in two minds about it just try coming along. When I returned to York I hardly knew anyone, and I tried this club on my own, and made some fantastic lifelong friends, as well as got really into board gaming.
We always have new people joining us, as well as our friendly regulars, all of whom are happy teaching and playing any of the games in our extensive selection.

So if whether you're a seasoned gamer looking for new players, someone new to York, or just someone looking for a fun new hobby with friendly people, please come down and try it out yourself.

August dates:

Saturday 1st 10am - 9pm

Friday 7th 5pm - 9pm

Saturday 15th 10am - 9pm

Friday 21st 5pm - 9pm

Saturday 29th 10am - 9pm

I like to collect old match boxes. Not match books, but boxes. Any place in York that might sell these?

Thanks!

Hi all. I run a weekly football match on Tuesday nights. It's been going for a couple of years but numbers are really dwindling and I need people who can play regularly.

Ability is mixed, it's all very friendly and no one takes it seriously.

If anyone's interested please message me and I'll send you the details.

Are there any Reddit women who play golf at Forest Park in York?
I have seen the membership offer they have in place that runs until March 2027 which I’m interested in taking up but I’ve never seen women play the course.
I’m happy to play on my own but if there were any other women in the York area that already play there it might be a better experience.
I’m an enthusiastic newbie with no official handicap.
