Over 4 years ago, a meetup of a few gamers wanting to get together to play games on a Nintendo DS met. A social gaming group and quite unique subculture developed which brought on 5 charity gaming tournaments, a world record attempt, a sister group up north, joint meetups with other gaming groups, visits to other equally fun loving groups, pub crawls, fun at Nintendo events/filming and just a shed load of meetups. But even more important of all, it brought together a bunch of people that all shared a common goal, to meet other fun loving people for games on our beloved little console and to share the fun of the DS’s wireless package of joy over an (alcoholic) beverage or three. So it is my absolute pleasure to announce and invite you to our momentous “EPIC 100th DS:London meetup” on Saturday 8th May at the un-official DS:London HQ, Horse and Groom.

Please note this meetup is a two parter! For more information please head to our meetup site for the latest information.

DS:London is a group of people who meet up twice a month in a pub (usually the The Horse and Groom). It is a group of like minded individual who enjoys a good old game session on our little console and offers the chance to utilise the great wifi multiplayer capability. We don't just concentrate soley on gaming and enjoy a good bit of banter along with some gaming (nostalgic) chit chat. We also drink beer (not compulsory). We have been running for about a year and a half with our main website HQ at meetup.com and we also have a facebook group!

So if you want to meet a bunch of new people who enjoy a good chin wag about games and whilst sipping some beer, then you know where to head to!
