Anime Clubs of the United Kingdom and Ireland

butch-cassidy

Ok guys, following my list of Anime events across the UK and Ireland I have decided to do the same with clubs. I have skewered the internet for active clubs and have formed the following list. Even so I need you help if I am to keep this up to date! I need you to inform me if a club closes, changes and submit new clubs that you find however there are a couple of grounds rules. The club must meet the following requirements,
- At least five members
- Has regular meetings
- Has a website and/or forum

I'm sorry if you have a club that doesn't match these but work on it and you will join the list!

Unfortunately Amine Doom Club in Dudley no longer exists, they were closed over a year ago, so you might want to take it off the list.
