Launch of new "After-Kubb" concept
Kubb Atlanta is exploring the possibilities of launching "After-Kubb"
- a social get together on weekday evenings over the game of Kubb. They are currently looking for a suitable venue in Atlanta and preferably with:
- Possibilities of bringing music or a DJ
- Space for at least one Kubb field (26 x 16 feet)
- Good outdoor lighting
Since Kubb Atlanta is completely run by volunteers they are looking for a venue with low or no cost of rent. They are also open for making cooperative deals with local bars and pubs with possibilities of playing Kubb on their premises.
Do you know about a venue that would be suitable for "After-Kubb"? Or do you want to take part of the planning of "After-kubb"? Don't hesitate to contact Kubb-Atlanta founder Svante Hjorth at:
svante.hjorth@southpartner.com

About Kubb Atlanta
Kubb Atlanta is a sports & social club for Kubb lovers in Atlanta. Kubb, or “Viking chess”, is a lawn game played on a small rectangular playing field, with the objective of knocking over wooden blocks, known as kubbs, by throwing wooden batons at them. The game dates back to the Viking Age and has been played ever since in Scandinavia, and in particular on Gotland, Sweden's largest island, where the World Championships are held yearly. Watch this informational
video on how to play Kubb.
