We embrace inclusivity and champion spaces where everyone feels safe, especially those who flourish in quieter, more welcoming environments.
At VoNCon (Vale of Neath Convention), we Foster Friendships through Tabletop Gaming. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or completely new to board games, there's a place for you at our table.
We meet twice a month for relaxed gaming sessions, alongside special events throughout the year. We'd love to see you there.

Many people never get the chance to explore the vast world of tabletop games. That's where we come in.
We provide welcoming opportunities for people to socialise, connect, and discover the joy of play. From epic adventures to quick-fire card games, we're here to show that there really is a game - and a friendship group - for everyone. No experience needed, you just need to bring yourself.
Check out our calendar for upcoming events.
Our sessions offer low-pressure ways to try new things, meet others, and enjoy the experience of gaming.
