Title: SG: We Are Moving! Post by: Spirit Games on 06 April 2013, 21:00:18 In the next week we will be moving from Station Street where we have been trading for nearly 25 years, to 102 High Street. The new premises has a larger front sales area which will means we can lay out the stock better, there will be a room for the roleplaying books, and also the wargames section will be bigger - no more Black Hole of Calcutta for the historical customers! Parking nearby is very good, especially at the weekend, regulars will soon find the free spaces.
And now the important bit - we will be a stones throw away from the Burton Bridge Brewery. The exact date of completing the move will be subject to the vagaries of British Telecom, but come what may, we will be there by Tuesday 16th April. Call diversion and modern technology will keep the phones working one way or another and the web site should be unaffected. Apologies for the lack of notice, it was less than a month ago that we learned that there would be problems renewing the lease. At the new place we will be secure for years to come.

Post by: EvilGinger on 06 April 2013, 23:23:26 This is a very interesting development which I can now admit to knowing about having done a fair bit of work on the move. I have lots of pictures of the process which I will post on Friends of Spirit Games on Facebook & here soon

Title: Re: SG: We Are Moving! Post by: Zarniwoop on 13 April 2013, 11:08:21 Latest update on the move is as follows:
"We MAY be there by Tuesday 16th April, but the first weekend in May is looking more likely. Until then we will be trading relatively normally from our old address, the miniatures ranges are somewhat reduced but board games and roleplaying games will be here till the end of the final Saturday. At that point, any offers of help with moving it all will be gratefully accepted." - Phil #spiritgames Title: Re: SG: We Are Moving! Post by: EvilGinger on 14 April 2013, 15:22:40 its now almost certainly the first week end in may unless the land lords at the old shop cut up rough which I expect them to & Phil doesn't.
There is however a lot of preparatory work to do any way & as much assistance as possible is still required.... Moving a shop is like moving a house to another order of magnitude.... >:DGinger Title: Re: SG: We Are Moving! Post by: EvilGinger on 28 April 2013, 05:33:22 The Move is Next Saturday & all volunteers are welcome doing the last dismantling & moving on Saturday night & Sunday. Thought there will still be painting to be done at the old shop before the key's get handed back as well as unpacking and sorting at the new shop.

Post by: EvilGinger on 09 May 2013, 22:18:49 Indeed & I would like to thank all the people who mucked in & helped it would have been impossible without you. The new place is now coming together nicely & looks to be an even better place all round.
