About us
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.
We also have a Matrix chat room at #geek:glasgow.social (you can join with this invite link: https://glasgow.social/matrix). There are rooms there for board games, gigs, poker, star trek, D&D, tech and all sorts of other interests.
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!)

Queer Board Games Night (LGBTQ+ 🏳️🌈)
The Gamer Club, 153 Bath Lane, Glasgow, GBFirst of (hopefully) many Queer Board Games Nights! 🎲
We’re looking forward to a relaxed, welcoming night of board games and good company.
As it’s our first night, we’ll be keeping things simple starting with introductions, then seeing what people fancy playing.
There are plenty of games available at the venue, so we’ll have lots to choose from.
No pressure, no rigid plan, just a friendly space to meet people, play some games, and see where the night takes us.
This event is cross-hosted between Glasgow Geeks & Glasgow Lesbian Scene, so there may be a few new faces but I’m sure we’ll all get along great.
