What's happened with the Bristol Vanguard?

Post by inkpwn »

I heard at work from MonkeyKungFu that some dickery has gone down and the store has died, but what precisely has happened?
I'm a touch confused, is the store just a mess or does this include the Vanguard Forum/Contributors/Facebook group as well?
Seeing as a decent amount of Blood Bowl ran through the store and its kin I think a clear answer is needed.

The shop has closed down but thats about it . The forum is still running as usual and the club is playing at the old duke pub instead . Not a lot else to it really .

Yeah there was always been a bit of confusion between Vanguard the games club and Vanguard the games store, maybe that's just me. The store is definitely closed, there may be something on the same site at some later date but anything along those lines is speculation. The store however is in no financial sense linked to the club generally.

Bristol Vanguard (the club) continues to go from strength to strength. The club has a new home at The Old Duke in the city centre which having been to a couple of times is looking like a really good prospect, it is also where BUBBA Bowl is going to be in a few weeks.

The forum is still going strong and there are a few messages from Vanguard Committee on what has happened and will happen going forward including an AGM/EGM at some point soon.

Be good to see you again Abi you want to meet for a game some time and see the new venue.
