A Warminster tabletop gaming group has expanded its stock of strategic games and promotional materials after securing a £500 grant from a local service club.
The Warminster Games Masters Guild was presented with the cheque by members of the Warminster Lions Club at the recent Carnival Fun Day in the Lake Pleasure Grounds.
The group formed following discussions with Warminster Town Council to address local demand for tabletop role-playing games. The multi-generational community group provides dedicated tables for young people aged 12 and above alongside adult groups. The guild meets on the first Friday evening of each month at the Civic Centre.
Treasurer of the Warminster Games Masters Guild, Jack Case, said, “This support from Warminster Lions Club has been a total gamechanger for our community outreach and event expansion. As a local group, every penny counts towards keeping our events accessible and welcoming. Securing these funds allowed us to invest in vibrant new banners to reach residents offline who might not follow us on social media, while immediately adding high-quality games like ‘Magic: The Gathering Commander’ decks and ‘Halo Flashpoint’ to our monthly lineup. We’re incredibly grateful to the Lions for believing in our mission to bring people together through play.”
Lions Club President Richard Owen said, “Our club is delighted to support a new local group, especially one like the WGMG that covers all ages. We wish them all the best for their development and support to the community.”
Funding for the donation was raised through sales at the Warminster Lions Club second-hand bookshop on George Street.
