Boards of Kettering are Dez, Polly, Doug and Gary. We started BoK in 2019 to share our love of modern board games with our community. Since 2021 we have run a monthly board game cafe night in Kettering, and we retail games in That Pink Shop and Kitsch Mitch in Kettering and Vintage Guru in Northampton.
In 2024, we started organising the annual Northants Board Game Convention at Kettering Arts Centre, which has been a brilliant event and returns in 2026.
We have recently evolved Boards of Kettering into a CIC (Community Interest Company) to use board games in education as a means to improve skills and well-being through play.
