The People's Meeple

A Board Game community hosting pop up events and social gaming for all

28/05/2023

So Thursdays seems like a hit for a weekly meet up. Now thinking of a monthly meet up during the day on a Saturday or Sunday for bigger more epic games. Have your vote so I can find a suitable venue. Head to the social gaming group to cast your vote.

I'm afraid I've had to postpone today's opening until next week. Apologies for short notice.

01/05/2023

The People's Meeple is in a period of transition. As I move away from the cafe and that part of my boardgame adventure I move onto new parts like a phoenix from the flames. What that evolves into I do not know yet but there will be gaming and lovely people involved so stay tuned and keep gaming 🎲🎲🎲

Remember we are open this Saturday 10-1pm for the selling of some more games.
I've not got a full list so attached are pictures.
I look forward to seeing you then. 😁🎲😁

Thanks for everyone who came out yesterday for the sale of the collection it will very much help in the paying off of the bills. There are still many games and other items for sale from cups to fridges to tables.
I'll be open again next Saturday but this time from 10am until 1pm. So come get a bargain while you can.

Closing down Boardgame cafe selling off last of its stock.
Thanks for all the interest in my last post selling some games managed to shift a fair few to help with the final closing bills for the cafe.
Got something a little different to try and shift the smaller games.

I have 2 x job lots of smaller box games. Each lot contains the same and is £50 with an RRP of around £90 I think. All BNIS.

Job lot contents.
Patchwork express
Banagrams Duel
Stellar
Mint delivery
Mint control
Mint cooperative
Disney Geek out.

I have 2 bundles of these and they are listed elsewhere. Price includes shipping and fees to mainland UK.

Thanks for looking

As some of you will be aware I have closed the cafe. It was a hard decision to come to but overall the right one. What it does mean though is I have a large collection of games and other items in the cafe that need to go to other homes. I will be open 12-4pm on Saturday 22nd of April so come pop down and get yourself a bargain.

11/03/2023

I'm afraid the cafe will not be open today.
Updates will follow soon but I will not be opening today apologies for inconvenience caused

01/03/2023

Due to a mixture of long working hours and cancellations I will not be opening this evening. Apologies for the late notice but it's simply not viable for me to open this evening

28/02/2023

It's with a sad heart that I have to post this post. The cafe will no longer be open on Wednesday and Friday nights from next week. We are still open on Saturday 12-10pm for now.
We all know how fuel prices, cost of living crisis, food shortages and everything else over the last year has impacted us all.
The cafe that was a labour of love has taken its toll and I am left with little choice but to reduce the hours not only to save money but for my own mental health as well.
I will still be open on Saturdays but that is now the only day that I will be open and I will be reviewing this in the coming weeks.
Apologies if you come on those nights I will be closed.

We are having to close our doors again due to ongoing blocked drainage issues. This is unavoidable and I'm doing all in my power to rectify this ongoing issue but it's a bigger issue that my site. Apologies again and I hope to be open later this evening. I will keep you all posted

16/12/2022

Get that Xmas gaming done before the real business of over indulging hits in a few days time. Open until 10pm this Friday and Saturday.

10/12/2022

Due to ongoing unresolved drainage issues I am forced to close the cafe early this evening. This is something that is out of my control and it saddens me to keep closing under these conditions. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards

Ric

3 years ago we opened the Huddersfield Venue. New venue but we are still going lol 😁🎲😁

03/12/2022

Our Christmas Opening hours are limited to a few evenings and a few sessions in the day.
Much merriment is to be had so why not get the party started here at the cafe.
All the usual great food and drink and hundreds of games to play.
