Following on this thread about New Blood TMP link I got to wondering what the average attendance on most club nights is. I occasionally frequent the Harrogate Wargames Club, and they seem to average 20 to 25. At my local club, the Huntingdon and District Wargames Society we must average 40. On busy nights it can go over 50. (This excludes a unconnected role playing contingent of about 12 players who share the same room) Regards to all Vulture (My Blog link ) |

We get between 9 and 16 out every other Tuesday. An average would be about 11. This is a goodly number for most Canadian clubs, I think! |
| nickinsomerset | 06 Jul 2009 7:12 a.m. PST |
Down at the George PH in East Coker, (Yeovil) we – South Somerset Wargames Group – manage 12 – 16, at present we don't have a massive area – a skittle alley – so those numbers are good, although all clubs should aim to expand through the roof! Tally Ho! |
| streetline | 06 Jul 2009 7:15 a.m. PST |
The Exmouth Club averages about a dozen, maybe a couple more. The Exeter clubs like Ryga's are bigger, say 30+ when I last popped in? |
| nazrat | 06 Jul 2009 7:23 a.m. PST |
Our attendance has rapidly died off so now I'm lucky if one or two show up. My group is effectively dead. |
| Captain Clegg | 06 Jul 2009 7:42 a.m. PST |
Average between 6 and 8 at my club. Anyone live near marlow in Bucks want to play on a regular basis? |
| TodCreasey | 06 Jul 2009 7:54 a.m. PST |
We share with a boardgames club. We usually do 5-15 people and they do 5-10 – yesterday we hit 25 total so that was a good day. Flames of War Firestorm has seemed to breath some more life into us – I am hoping for 15-10 people per session for those days. |
| Martin Rapier | 06 Jul 2009 8:11 a.m. PST |
Sheffield Wargames Club, on a good night around 40. |
| Sane Max | 06 Jul 2009 8:17 a.m. PST |
Harrogate and Ripon District – we average about 15. It covers the rent, and is better than it was. Vulture – how are the Other Harrogate club doing? We are the one on Dene Park BTW. Pat |
| wrgmr1 | 06 Jul 2009 8:38 a.m. PST |
White Rock Gamers average 8 an evening, max 13 or 14, minimum 4. We play every Thursday except in the summer.
Trumpeters Club gets approx 60 to 100 on a Friday night, once a month. |
| xxxxxxxxooooo | 06 Jul 2009 8:59 a.m. PST |
Houston 77th Between 8-10 usually. |
| Tom Reed | 06 Jul 2009 9:16 a.m. PST |
Champaign Historical gamers have unfortunatley suffered some great losses over the past year. Now we usually have 3-6 people show up. |
| Historicalgamer | 06 Jul 2009 10:46 a.m. PST |
Reading Area Wargamers (PA) averages 10-12 per Thursday night meeting. |
| bruntonboy | 06 Jul 2009 11:06 a.m. PST |
SASRA in West Cumbria about 30 on avaerage but that icludes everyone. Figure gamers only about 10-20% of this, usually about 4-5. |
| Derek H | 06 Jul 2009 12:56 p.m. PST |
South East Scotland Wargames Club in Edinburgh seswc.co.uk Twenty on a quiet night. Fifty five is the most I've ever counted. |
| wehrmacht | 06 Jul 2009 1:33 p.m. PST |
Generally six to eight of the lads at my house on Thursdays, plus me. Cheers w. |
| geudens | 06 Jul 2009 1:39 p.m. PST |
TSA (Antwerp – Belgium) – every Fridaynight – 50 if it's slow, 80+ when crowded. |
| Billiam | 06 Jul 2009 3:08 p.m. PST |
Metro Seattle Gamers (WA, USA) – Open most days; 6 or so on a weeknight and about twice that on a Saturday. A little harder to compare to those previously mentioned since it isn't a weekly/monthly 'event' but a full-time clubhouse. |
| quidveritas | 06 Jul 2009 4:10 p.m. PST |
I am so jealous. We vary from 3 to 8 on most Fridays when we play. But . . . we really don't have 'clubs' in the sense that most of you do. It's a funny thing about Spokane. There's a lot of gamers in the area but not a lot of interaction between those groups. mjc |
| Tom Reed | 06 Jul 2009 6:48 p.m. PST |
Yeah, the Champaign-Urbana area gamers are very cliquish too. The historical gamers, numbering about 5-6, have lost a couple of guys for various reasons but have gained one new guy. It's been hard to get any of the other gamers interested in the historical side of the hobby. |
 John the OFM  | 06 Jul 2009 7:58 p.m. PST |
6-8 for the hard core. Since our "club house" is my basement, I am not really looking to "grow" the hobby.  |
| ezza123 | 07 Jul 2009 1:41 a.m. PST |
The Exiles the-exiles.ning.com have roughly 6-8 players every Thursday. So far this year the lowest attendance has been 5 and the highest 11. |
| legatushedlius | 07 Jul 2009 3:20 a.m. PST |
We usually get a dozen at Guildford Wargames Club, sometimes more. Not me very often, though! |
| Vulture | 07 Jul 2009 3:45 a.m. PST |
Forgot to mention that both clubs (Harrogate and Huntingdon) meeting every Thursday.

Glad to hear your H&RD club is still going strong. The other Harrogate club (still using the Royal Airforce Association Club (RAFA) seems to be doing well, with a hardcore of regulars that sustain it. Had a enjoyable game of Flames of War there back in Feb. link and link

| Big P from GMG | 07 Jul 2009 3:45 a.m. PST |
We get a regular 5 attendees out of a total of 6 members every Friday… Not bad for a small club in Ireland. We do have a couple new members on the way though… |
| Lowtardog | 07 Jul 2009 7:46 a.m. PST |
Varies but usually 12 -20 at the Tring club in Herts |
| TheDreadnought | 07 Jul 2009 8:33 a.m. PST |
Tom – I'm out of Bloomington. Where and when do you guys meet in Champaign? |
| Fat Wally | 07 Jul 2009 12:37 p.m. PST |
1-4 blokes at my place on a friday evening, fortnightly. Any more than that and I need to move house. We usually take it in turns to host games but I host more than my fair share. |
| not bing | 07 Jul 2009 2:47 p.m. PST |
8-10 most wendesday nights the Escape Committee Burnham on Sea Somerset England. All welcome esp if you have a thick skin. Oh and Lowtardog were watching you…… |
| Olaf the hairy | 07 Jul 2009 3:27 p.m. PST |
Lincombe Barn club in Bristol we usualy have 5 or 6 games on a Sunday afternoon with about 16 playig and usualy a few others drop by for a chat. |
| Ascent | 08 Jul 2009 1:18 a.m. PST |
We get around a dozen on a Sunday evening. Not bad for a small club in the middle of nowhere. I thought that was low but it looks kind of average. |
| MotttheHoople | 08 Jul 2009 8:00 a.m. PST |
Deeside Defenders (nr Chester UK) averages 25 – 30 weekly on Thursday evenings. We have bad nights (10-12) and worse nights (40+). |
| jameshammyhamilton | 10 Jul 2009 1:12 p.m. PST |
Manchester Area Wargames Club – UK Monday night meetings, 20 on a slack night, 35 or so on a busy one. Sundays, 4 to 10 depending. Our biggest problem looks like it might be running out of space for tables. |
| Ianrs54 | 11 Jul 2009 9:43 a.m. PST |
Varies a bit – maximium of roughly 35-40, with an average of 25, and low of 10-15 on Thursday night, with our Sunday's running to a maximum of 10, nprmally 5-6. Deeside defenders – at Broughton, in the Airbus Sports and Social. IanS |
