South Downs Siegebreakers' is a tabletop gaming, board and card gaming club located in the heart of West Sussex. The club is open to anyone who wants to come down and play some games within a relaxed social environment. We cater for all levels of gaming experience (we do not encourage tournament play - we like to keep things relaxed), be it beginners, seasoned veterans and all those in between. So don't be shy, just turn up and enjoy an evening of light banter along with some decent gaming action. If you are new to the scene, or are merely inquisitive at this stage, and would like an introductory game in any of the games systems we cater for down the club, please do contact us here and we will arrange an easy going entry level game to help get you started - the best way to learn is to get stuck in.

We are an inquisitive bunch, and are therefore interested in trying out new games systems; these can potentially become mainstay if they prove popular amongst the club's members. That said, the core games systems currently played down the club include: Malifaux, Infinity, Freebooter's Fate, Smog 1888, Marvel Crisis Protocol, BattleTech Alpha Strike, Gaslands, Black Seas, Adeptus Titanicus, Moonstone, Frostgrave, Star Wars Legion and The Walking Dead in addition to RPG. We also play numerous Kickstarters like Nemesis, Mythic Battles, Cthulhu Death May Die, Gloom Haven, Darklight Memento Mori etc... plus deck building card games like Star Realms and Arctic Scavengers. Finally, we also indulge in fantasy based board and card games such as Hero Quest and Red Dragon Inn.

The club's doors are open every Tuesday from 6:00pm to 10:30pm.

We operate out of the lower bar area in The Crown inn in Cootham located in the heart of West Sussex. The lower bar area is reserved exclusively for South Downs Siegebreakers every Tuesday evening, however, there will be rare occasions when this may vary subject to the landlords' other business commitments - on such occasions we will announce any changes to the club's schedule via our RSS news feed and mailing list services.

Note: Since the club operates out of a licensed premises, those under aged must be accompanied by an adult; whilst the club's doors are open to anyone, parental discretion is advised regarding suitability for younger audiences. As good natured as the club's members are, we are ultimately a stones throw away from a bar and on a licensed premises.

Although the club officially starts at 6:00pm, the club's organisers frequently eat at The Crown from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. So, if you have just come straight from work and need a bite to eat, or just want to socialise, please feel free to join us. We are keen to hear your views on the club and how you see it developing going forwards, so please use this opportunity to influence the club's development. The club is not set in stone, so if you want to get involved (scenery building, event and campaign organising etc...) then please let us know - we would love to hear your thoughts and hopefully help you make them a reality by supporting you.

"Less than the cost of a sandwich."

If you decide to come down for a Tuesday evening's club session then the PAYG sub is a mere £2.00 for an entire evening of tabletop gaming i.e. from 6:00pm to 10:30pm. We only collect subs from those who actually play. So, if you are just popping down to check us out, socialise or just want to sit back, have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere then no sub is required.

Note: The reason our subs are low is because the landlords have kindly allowed the club to use the venue for free! All we ask is that you at least buy a couple of drinks, alcoholic or otherwise, from the bar to help support the club's venue, plus food if you are able. No drink = no revenue for the venue = no venue for the club. Therefore, please help support the club by enjoying a drink or two - we would rather you filled your bellies as opposed to paying the club increased fees to cover venue hire.

South Downs Siegebreakers is a non-profit organisation operating out of West Sussex. Payments received by the club are invested back into the club i.e. boards, scenery, domain name hosting, events etc...

The club was founded by Adam Graham, Craig Cameron and Liam Young on the 19/02/2013. Today it is run by three organisers; club chairman Liam Young, club secretary Jerome Roberty and club treasurer Vicky Cons. The club's organisers are on hand to help you out with any aspect of the club, and all are veterans of the tabletop gaming community. Liam was previously a committee member of the East Sussex based tabletop gaming club Eastbourne Elemental, now South Coast Titans - indeed Liam acted as the club's chairman for a time. Jerome and Vicky are both thoroughbred tabletop gaming veterans.
