QUGS is the gaming society of the University of Queensland, affiliated with the Student Union. The Society currently includes roleplayers, wargamers, boardgamers, card gamers, chess players, computer gamers, play-by-mail gamers, and more! You don't have to be a student to join: membership costs $5.00 a year, and everyone is welcome!

As a member, you are entitled to:

1. A discount at various gaming shops in Brisbane, including Napoleon's Military Bookshop (5%), Ace Comics and Games (5%), Fastbreak Sports (10%), Mindrush Hobbies (10%) and Wargames Warehouse (15%). All you have to do is show your membership card on purchase and say you're from QUGS.
2. Register yourself on the Society's list of gamers and their gaming interests. We can help you find people who share your gaming interests and desires, making it easier for you to enjoy our common hobbies.
3. Borrow from the Society's "Cupboard" of magazines, books and boardgames. We've been assembling our collection for almost thirty years, and members can borrow items for up to one month.
4. Advertise any games, books, magazines or other gaming items on our Yahoo mailing list and our for sale page.
5. Discounted entry fees to any events run by the Society, whether social get-togethers, movie nights, or tournaments.

Interested? Then contact the Management Commitee for more information or come along to one of our regular meetings.

QUGS has regular weekly meetings for boardgamers (including go) on Monday evenings in Room 211, Gordon Greenwood Building (32). These meetings start at 4:00 PM and finish around 10:00 PM.

QUGS hosts a regular monthly meeting for role-playing gamers, including Living Forgotten Realms, usually on the fourth Saturday of every month in Room 215, Gordon Greenwood Building (32). These meetings start at 10:00 AM and finishing around 9:00 PM.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the University, there are maps of the Saint Lucia campus that indicate the location of these buildings. Newcomers are always welcome at all these meetings: there's usually a game or two that visitors can join in at the meeting for all gamers, and there are tutors at the go meeting for those who wish to learn how to play or to build their skills.
