COVID-19 Activities & Updates

Hi all,

In line with Tean Youth Club, we are regretfully having to postpone Gaming Potion sessions until further notice due to the Covid-19 virus.

We miss you a great deal!! We’ve been doing some preparations and attending sessions provided by SCVYS pointing us towards ways we can continue to run virtual sessions and give you activities to do at home! This week is Volunteer Week so we just wanted to say a big shout out to our volunteers at Gaming Potion - the club cannot run without you!

Unfortunately, despite schools beginning to go back it does not look like the club will be able to return in-person any time soon as we have a responsibility to maintain the health and wellbeing of our volunteers, members and families. As a club with attendees from a wide range of schools, the club has the potential to spread the virus across schools and local areas. With the nature of the club being ‘contact’ heavy with the Nerf and boardgames, to facilitate this with COVID restrictions will be near impossible so we hope you can understand this.

Whilst this is bad news in the short term, hopefully, it can lead to more positive news in the future as we can reinvest the unspent funds into future sessions and events later in the year or next year.

Again please accept our apology for being unable to provide sessions, we appreciate that members were looking forward to the sessions going ahead.

We are going to look into some print and play games that we can make available for members to print off at home so that they can enjoy board games even whilst the club is on hold. We would also love for you to send us reviews of games that you may play in between now and the next session! Keep in touch! We want to know what you have been up to during lockdown :)
