The BitC Directors

The wonderful Co-op fundraising has come to an end – Thank you to all who nominated us, and to the Co-op and Sheila Elsey for accepting us as a cause to support x

However, the need continues, especially in this Covid climate.

Soxy Brooker has worked on a visual to help us get the message across, addressing how we get funded and how important YOU are to maintaining the BitC magic. As the end of the year draws ever closer – we will have even less trading days due to the holiday season, aswell as loosing 1/3rd of our trading days to decontaminate the games. Please continue to support us anyway you can. We are still taking financial donations and you can help in the following ways – become a sponsor and send us a fixed amount every month, use the donate button above, add donations via your tab while you are at the cafe or via our Paypal account using bitccic@btopenworld.com (PLEASE USE PAY AS FRIEND OPTION)

Best of all – come and eat, drink, game, repeat.

Lastly, we have taken the HUGE step of amending our legal structure at Companies House- with the brilliant help from Action Hampshire and Louise Garner Consultancy Ltd. We will now be 100% not for profit as opposed to the previous structure which causes us many difficulties around share holders and there being a chance for entitlement (which we have never acted on) – fingers crossed, this makes grant applications easier…

How it works: Adult entry is £3 per person for the first 3 hours then £1 per each additional hour or part hour. Child entry is charged at £2 then £1 per each additional hour or part hour. Under 5’s are free to enter.

Just think 3 for 3 then +1 per hour.

But Wait… There’s more: Adults who spend £15 or more (child/concession £10 or more) won’t have to pay the additional £1 per hour!!!

(Please note £5 minimum card spend)
