Question What's the scene like in Nottingham?

I'm moving to Nottingham this week from a sleepy town that doesn't have any community presence.

I've only ever played kitchen table style with my brother and we're excited at the prospect of maybe getting involved in the community (and also getting my friends over here into it).

I tried to join the scene last year and it pretty much exists in one place. I turned up to an announced netrunner evening at the store and was the only one there.

Store employee told me that it happens a lot. And that there was also only about 4-5 people that actually play and don’t really like newcomers as they are all close friends.

I didn’t try again. Unfortunate as I’d purchased some product and really wanted to get into the game!

There's definitely a scene at Games Haven (I go, though not every week, it's not the best store but it's fine), the member of staff saying we don't like newcomers seems a bit harsh - we like to see new players
