Upcoming Club News

No session report this week, as I am attending Games Days. Hope for an update from those who attended this week's session some time next week.

I can tell you that on Saturday, May 9, Games Club of Maryland (including members from our local chapter) will once again be manning a booth at the Laurel Main Street Festival. Our exact location will be booths 512-A and B on the south side of Main Street, near Fifth Street, which is the same approximate location as the past two years. A reminder that the Festival starts with a parade at around 9 AM and continues until approximately 4 PM.

Additionally, the following Saturday, May 16, we are co-sponsoring a special Saturday gaming event with our sister club in Columbia (a new club that became a GCOM location in January). I have copied details from a flyer we have put together recently, will have copies on hand at next week's Thursday session.
