So I was at Chip Damage's christmas party the other night. I originally was just going to pop in to confirm their tournament involvement for my Retro Gamers Convention Winnipeg charity event April 5th 2014. Happy to confirm they are going to do a tournament or two, which is great news!
There was a couple things I got that night. Looking at all the peeps having fun, getting together, doing troll encouraged christmas gifts, gaming, potluck (well... pizza table). That's what I want to form with my Retro Gaming Group. I think it's possible and I can't wait for the day. . .
New Personal Goal: Attend more activities from other Winnipeg groups.
. . . I got a great partner helping me plan my events, I got a great planning committee, great sponsors... things are moving up. I would be lying if I didn't say I felt a little pressure, I really need to delegate more...
One more thing I learned from my visit to ChipDamage's Christmas party, new comers. All the people I met the other night are really nice, but I can see how new comers can feel apprehensive from approaching or even attending these types of groups. It's those "fringe" fans I don't want to loose. Personally, I think I can enter almost anywhere and make a friend, but I'm sure that's not everyone. My idea is to have hospitality assigned staff at our first event to encourage people to try games or even meet new people.
That's it from me today... to the future me reading this, how was your latest RGCW Christmas party? =D
