Hand Limit 2025 Event: Canterbury Pride Board Game Club Update

With less than a month to go preparations are well under way for the first ever Hand Limit event and it's exciting to see everything coming together. We've got our board game library prepped, our sponsors helping with promotion (Thanks for Kitch Flamingo, Fruitworks Co-Working and Coffee Shop, Drawn & Quartered, and Dice & Destiny), and decorations being planned (it'll probably be rainbows).

We are hoping to use this event to also gather some feedback and data on whether future events would be well received, people's relationship with games, and how they feel playing impacts their mental health. It is through important data such as this that we can plan ahead and provide the best service for our community and act in a way that will benefit the most people.

We've already had some wonderful feedback from the BeYou project, who we will be raising money for on the day through donations and a charity tombola, with some amazing prizes to be won. It is so uplifting to hear that people are excited about an event like this, which came about because we felt there was need for a more relaxed option to celebrate Pride in our city. As a heavily Queer collective, it is only right that Hand Limit should make its first steps into the physical world during our local Pride.

In case you missed it, there is a Facebook event here, where we will be posting further details about what you can expect at the event in the coming weeks.

This is truly an exciting time for us at Hand Limit. We are built on the understanding that table top gaming is an inclusive activity that benefits individual's mental well being and helps promote community. Gaming is for everyone, and it is through events like this that we intend to launch Hand Limit as more than just a blog.
