Cru Chronicles – Our Weekly Newsletter

Trying to improve our public image of poor communicators, we went overboard on the optimism and began publishing a brand new weekly newsletter. A labour of love? Possibly… has anyone made it to the end of one? Doubtful. Are we consistent in our messaging? Not a chance. However, we’re trying.

Included in each edition you will find everything you need to know about what’s going on at Cru… at least the bits we can remember to tell you. With reviews of past games, previews of upcoming games, details of events and other programming, plus lots more that nobody asked for, you’re in for a captivating read. We know because we said so!

If you missed an edition, you can find a copy below. If you aren’t receiving it and you actually want to, after you have sought psychiatric permission to do so, you can sign up to receive our newsletter direct to your inbox here.
