Drinks or snacks (optional)\* 3. 1-3 games (optional) 4. Your mobile banking app to make a donation to the community centre for use of the space if you are able (optional)\*\* If you will be arriving late, make sure somebody knows you're coming, both so we have a table playing shorter / filler games until you arrive, and because we usually lock the gate around 8:30. \* The café is not staffed in the evening, but there is an honesty box for us with crisps, popcorn, soft drinks, tea, beer, wine etc. \*\* Suggested donation is £5 \~ £10 dependent on your situation, but it is not required.
