It's been a very wet day in Sunniside, but we'll forgive the weather just this once on the understanding that this sort of thing doesn't happen again.
We've seen some fabulous painting and it's been great to see everybody who came down- thank you all.
Once again thanks to our wonderful volunteers and a huge thanks to Sunniside Quarter.

Don't let the rain dampen your spirits! Come and join us at 29 Norfolk Street today to have a go at painting and to watch a Warhammer game in action (from 11).

Tactic North East | Table Top Gaming in Sunderland | 28 Back, Norfolk Street, Sunniside, Sunderland, UK 30/06/2024

**SOME NEWS**

We are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer gaming sessions on a 'pay what you can' basis.

When we opened Tactic we said that we wanted to offer free sessions for those who were unable to contribute financially. We believe that nobody should be locked out of socialising with friends and meeting new people because of their financial circumstances.
We are now offering a three-tier pricing structure- full price, a contribution, and zero contribution price.

We are also offering the same three-tier pricing system at our gaming socials @ the gallery each Wednesday evening.

So if you can pay that's great, and we appreciate your support, but if you are unable to then that shouldn't stop you from joining us.

Oh don't leave me alone like this....

It's a full house today in the warehouse. 24 brave souls facing down evil in Middle Earth for the Second Battle of Sun-Dunland event.
It's a great crowd.

The Pride in the City event is also taking place in Sunniside Quarter. Great food, music and the weather has held.

It's been fantastic at our Paint and Play event today. The weather
has been better than expected and it's always great to see Sunniside Quarter so busy.

Thanks to all who took part, painted a figure, or who popped in to see what it was all about.

A HUGE thank you to our fantastic volunteers who have demonstrated painting techniques, building, and playing today- we couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks also to Sunderland BID Sunderland City Council, and to all of our friends on Sunniside.

We can't wait to do it again.

The gallery is set.

Come and join us 10-4 tomorrow to have a go at painting and playing.

Tactic is closed tomorrow for gaming, but we are holding a Paint and Play event in the gallery at Norfolk Street Studios, 29 Norfolk Street, as part of the Sunniside Food Market.
Tabletop gaming is hugely rewarding but getting started can be intimidating- there are so many different games and directions in which you can go. We want to break down the barriers that might prevent people from engaging with a fantastically inclusive and welcoming community, built from people from all walks of life and playing at all levels.

So this Saturday you can:
- Paint your own tabletop gaming figure.
- See tabletop gaming demos
- Talk to our lovely regular players about how to get started in the hobby
And there will be colouring activities for kids.

The benefits of creative play are clear- there are creative painting elements, manual dexterity skills, creative crafting and terrain/diorama building opportunities, as well as the social element of the hobby. There's something for everybody.

If you or somebody you know is interested in getting started in tabletop gaming, or even just collecting and painting miniatures, come along and chat to our players, have a go at painting, and see some gaming in action.

There will also be the opportunity to pick up some kit from our friends at DNL Models - Different not Less

It's going to be a great day with wonderful food stalls in the cultural epicentre of our fantastic city. Come on down.
