What we’re about
Calling all Glaswegian nerds and geeks!
We're looking to hold a monthly get together in Glasgow for like-minded individuals who enjoy all things geeky - Sci-fi, Doctor Who, Star Trek (and Wars!), Harry Potter, Marvel, DC, anime, cosplay, comics, board games etc.
The idea is to meet up, have a drink or two, get to know each other and make some new friends in and around the city.
Follow us on the Fediverse/Mastodon at https://glasgow.social/tags/geeksocial (Don't know what that is? It's open source decentralised social media - no corporations involved! Sign up at https://glasgow.social - or any other site - it's all interconnected - like the internet should be!)
We also have a Matrix chat room at #geek:glasgow.social (you can join with this invite link: https://glasgow.social/matrix).

See all- Board Game Evening!Curlers Rest Glasgow, Glasgow
Hi!
I'm going to be running a Board game evening at Curlers rest!
I will bring along a selection of games, if you have any you would like to see, put them in the comments. You can see what games I own by clicking here
Feel free to bring along your own games, the more the merrier!
You don't need to know how to play any of the games in advance, I'm happy to teach anyone how to play them, but I'd ask that you be willing to teach any of the games you bring along!
Hope to see you there!

- Sci-fi Book Group - The MurderBot DiariesThe Gamer Club, Glasgow
A regular book group night to discuss sci-fi and expand our reading horizons!
This month we've chosen The MurderBot Diaries by Martha Wells as Amazon have just released the TV show.
Looking forward to some interesting discussions! We might get a chance to screen the pilot episode of the show afterwards.
The topic for our next book group might be a specific book, author or general topic like first encounters, robots, etc - we'll decide on the night depending on people's interests. Feel free to submit a suggestion in the comments below.
As always, you can join our chat room on matrix at #bookgroup:glasgow.social (if you don't already have access to matrix, you can sign up at https://glasgow.social/matrix).
This meeting will be held in The Gamer Club - there'll be free tea, coffee and wine :) There are some directions to the venue here: https://www.thegamerclub.co.uk/gettinghere
