Posters have been posted around the schools, primarily found in the Entrance Hall on a vast majority of the large stone columns. Each poster is decorated the same, attractive colours, and pictures are present. Each picture moves, where a small child is shooting a Gobstone at a Jack Stone in the center of a chalk-drawn ring. The posters read:Fellow Students,
Hogwarts consists of multiple opportunites for extra-cirricular activities; Quidditch being our most popular. But, what would be best for our non-flying oriented students? Gobstones. Yes, Gobstones, the Wizarding variation of the Muggle game of Marbles. But, why you ask? Gobstones is pure fun, evolving a keen eye, and a high degree of hand-eye co-ordination.
The school has had in past years, and by past years I do mean about a few decades, a Gobstone Club, in which students of all houses competed each other for the fun of the game. As it evolved, the top player from each House would be known as the Champion, one each student of that house would want to beat. But, a system would work for the House Champions, a ranking for each House. The only way to play the best is to beat the other three champions.
It is time that we re-establish some past memories of our school, and embrace the love of the game again. But, what if you do not have Gobstones? Diagon Alley, in co-operation with myself, has extended their stock of the game, in any sports affiliated shop, to allow you to affordably purchase a set. This club will run all the time, every day, and every minute. You need to just challenge a player to play them, although if you wish to play a certain Champion, do make sure you check the Championship board to see the order you need to progress in.
If you are interested, please sign your name to the sign-up sheet on the wall above the trash bin in the Entrance Hall. Everyone is welcome!

On an OOC Note: Any player interested in joining need just sign their name below this post. As well, if you are unsure what Gobstones are, then Click Here!. There are three variations, and any can be played. A date will be established for a tournament to decide each House Champion so that the regular play can commence. I'll try to keep you all notified to the best of my ability.
If necessary, I could probably get a few more copies made.
