Calling all members: GAMES NIGHT IS BACK ON!

Due to popular demand, our weekly games nights are returning for the semester! As always these are open to all our members. At least one night week (usually Thursdays at 7.30pm unless stated otherwise through social media/wolves)  we will play easy to use, interactive multiplayer games that will be posted in the Events section of the Wolves Club Page and through the Whatsapp. We will be hosting these nights every Thursday from 7.30pm, so feel free to drop in for a chat, a quick game or stay for the whole night! We will be playing a variety of games that are available on desktop and/or mobile like Among Us, Scribbl, Broken Picture-Phone, Codenames and many more! If you have never played the game before, don't worry - we will always give a run down of how the game works before playing. Communications will all be held through Zoom calls that will remain open for the duration of games night, so feel free to drop into one of our game' nights whenever suits. As always, links will be posted through the Events section of the Wolves page and into the Whatsapp groups. Hope to see you all there!
