[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 3497195, member: 424"] Organize 'Game Days' You can start small and do them out of your house (not ideal but can work) or find some place where you can rent cheap or use for free (colleges and universities are good choices - our college, for example, only charges 25.00 for per day for the use of a large classroom and on other occasions, has even waived the fee). However, be prepared to do all the donkey work at first (organizing, promoting the game day, etc) and ponying up the money for advertising (even if its your ink to print out handbills or posters on your printer). Once you got a few successes under your belt and people enjoy the game days, then get a group of people who are willing to share the donkey work. Frequency is up to you. Try once a month and adjust from there, depending on interest. If you can manage a common day and time each month, that is best since people will learn that the game day is always this day and time and will look forward to them and it simplifies your advertising issues. The Game Days can be focused (one game), be several games or can be anything goes (whoever shows up can decide on what they are playing). Try all three to see what gets you the most people. I've used Game Days in the past to good effect and they can work, provided you are willing to put the effort in. [/QUOTE]
