Our story
It Started With
Nobody was referred here. People came because they wanted to, and they kept coming back.
The Beginning
Three friends began meeting regularly during the COVID period to play console, board and card games.
What began informally quickly grew as more friends joined.
The Idea Becomes Something More
As attendance continued beyond COVID, the founders recognised that the gatherings had developed into a genuine community.
At the end of 2022, Ebenezer Ogunbunmi, Omari Forrester and Malik Edwards decided to formalise the idea and create Club GVNR.
Club GVNR Officially Launches
The first official Club GVNR sessions began May 2023.
Saturday became the club's regular meeting day.
- FIFA / EA FC
- Fortnite
- Catan
- Monopoly
- Ark Nova
- Card games
- Tournaments
- Socialising
Organic Growth
The community continued expanding.
More than 60 different people have participated over time.
Regular members formed genuine friendships and increasingly contributed to the club themselves.
Beyond The Games
Club GVNR has developed beyond simply playing games. Members now bring music, creativity, sport, skills, professional connections, volunteering, opportunities and ideas into the community.
The next step is the GVNR Community Hub.
What's next
The Next Chapter
The limitations became clear as the community grew. Now Club GVNR wants to build something larger for Enfield.
