How about wargames ----the ones with little soldiers.
About 25 years ago my husband started the Bedworth Wargames Society.
Every Friday night at Bedworth Civic hall they had more than 40 people playing there, so many, sometimes there were not enough tables.
We all went to Stoneleigh and played at the town and country festival every year. They were good days.
When he became ill, and left some of the older kids took over the committee and it closed.
Many people were over 30 and up to 60, and many still meet in each others homes and converted garages to play every week.
Mainly 25mm metal figures but some 15mm. We still have some of the beautifully painted armies, Napoleonic, English Civil War,American Civil war,to name but a few.
Idid paint afew of them- mostly Lord of the Rings and Middle Earth but only played about 3 times.
