I enjoy playing board games, particularly games originating from Europe. They are very different to games like Monopoly and Risk, and far more enjoyable. These games are often not found in mainstream toy stores but only in specialised game stores. Their popularity has really picked up (at least amongst my group of friends) in the last few years.

So as a way to try and meet new people in the area, I started a weekly board games club a few months ago. So far it has been attended by all Christian friends, with 2-3 regulars each week, and a few others here and there. I recently created a static website with details of where and when we meet. I'd really like to create some flyers, but my design skills (or lackthereof) leaves much to be desired.

Whilst it's fun, it's not achieving my main purpose of meeting new people. So several times I've considered whether I should decrease the frequency, or even cancel the group altogether. But each time I think that, I get an email from a stranger who found out about us and shows some interest. But each time their interest has failed to turn into action.

This week I got another email from a someone who might come in 2 weeks' time. Hopefully this time we will actually get to meet.

Pray that God will use this board games club to make contact with people in the area. Pray also that I will have the wisdom to know how to promote this club, and the humility to know when/if I should close it.
