Thanks to everyone who came along last Thursday, it was great to see you all!

Firstly, apologies that we didn’t manage to get a game of Werewolves in at the end of the night. It seems as though certain games take a lot longer to play than we thought! We’ll have to think of ways to speed them up a bit!
We’ll just have to have an even bigger and better game of Werewolves next month instead to make up for it.

I’ve just put up the History page of GL that’s been sitting waiting to be published for a couple months now and I’ve never gotten around to it, you can find it here. So go and have a goose as it’s a wee bit of insight into where we came from. I’ll probably edit it and add bits when I remember here and there. Maybe.

Furthermore, as per my announcement on Thursday, I’ve finally opened the Forum for anyone who’s interested? It’s a way to get you GL’ers to mingle outside the safety of your monthly gatherings. Get together on there, discuss game ideas, share games you’ve found or just have a bit of a natter. You just go on right ahead and do what you do best!

And on a slightly similar note, I’ve put up a very basic and rather ugly unfortunately calendar which is here. There’s only the actual GL event on there at the moment, but if you’ve got something game’ish you’d like us to put on there, we’ll squeeze it in. Keep checking back on it to see if there’s something fun and exciting coming up!

And finally, as also mentioned on Thursday, this February’s Gambling Lambs celebrates the 3rd birthday of our wonderful games night. Now I know, I know, I can hear the cries of “Third birthday? Are you mad!? It’s only been 6 months!!” but you see, we mark the birthdays from the day we started DS Night (which is explained in the History section I mentioned above).

The idea is that whoever wants to, they bring things along for people to consume. Now this can be stuff you’ve made yourself (baking goods etc) such as cakes, cookies and pies for example, or you can even make little nik-naks if you’d like to give them to people as lovely gifts. Whatever you want to make and bring is fine. You don’t *have* to make anything though, it’s only if you want to.
There’ll be balloons, party poppers, streamers and other cliché birthday party titbits around the place, so when you turn up and wonder what the heck’s going on, think back on this post and remember!

Here and under the cut are a few pictures of the sorts of goodies baked and brought along to DS Night/Gambling Lambs birthday parties of years gone by;

“The Cake Is A Lie!” – Portal Cake from the hit Valve game, Portal.
