Welcome to the
SCHOOL
TOOLKIT
Before we get into the main part of the toolkit I would like
to take the opportunity to introduce myself.
My name is Bek Hawkby and I work for
Games Workshop as the Community
Coordinator. I have been with Games
Workshop in this role since 2004. if you
have any queries about anything at all to
do with clubs, I am your best point of
contact, so please get in touch using the
details on this page.
Before I worked for Games Workshop I
worked for Nottinghamshire Library
Service. I worked in many different
libraries over the years I spent there but
most of my time was spent working at
Hucknall Library where I set up and ran
my own gaming club.
For further information visit:
I have used this knowledge and
experience to write this pack, but I
couldn’t have written it without the help of
the following people:
David Bell from Wellington Academy,
Matthew Hobbs and Dave Rae from
Redcar Community College, Jo Snee from
The Kings School, Phil Harris from
Chilwell School and Anita Badock from
De Lisle Catholic Science College.
Throughout the pack there will be some
words underlined with which you may be
unfamiliar, the meaning of these words
can be found in the Jargonbusting section
on page 12.
