Gobstyks Gaming Club is a table-top and fantasy role-playing gaming group based in Lincoln.
Way back in 1997 Gobstyks was created in partnership with Games Workshop as part of their commitment at the time to support affiliated club with support and a paid staff member. Gary James was the man tasked with bringing together a bunch of local gamers looking to get together once a week to play game, enjoy each others company and meet new people in the process. Gobstyks was named as a combination of 'Goblin on a Styk' and has a unique place in the heart of the Gaming Community in Lincolnshire, and while not the oldest, we are one of the biggest and most attended.
Gobstyks became independent from Games Workshop just a short year after we were founded and has gone from strength to strength by being run by it's members to provide to gaming environment that gamers have wanted.
There is a cost to attend - but there are some free resources.
This is good for wellbeing because
- Provides respite from day-to-day pressures or problems, allowing an escape.
- Like-minded members who have also faced their own issues or problems, who help provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere.
- The creative side of the hobby helps with mental stimulation and is relaxing, members of the group can help with supporting this.
Gobstyks is part of my coping mechanism, and without the support of the club and members I genuinely don’t think I could cope.
