12 to 24: Huon Valley Youth

25/06/2026

THEY'RE BACK!

Oxy Moron Games will starting up 3 days a week at the Huon Valley PCYC from Tuesday the 14th of July! In time for the school holidays! See their page for more information!!!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am excited to announce to you that Oxy Moron Games is back!!

As most of you know, I was running Oxy Moron Games mostly as a volunteer program. My time and games were donated for the purposes of bringing entertainment to the Huon Valley. Then, due to family commitments, I found I couldn't justify continuing, so we announced a indefinite end to Oxy Moron Games pending a business plan.

The last 12 months have been chaotic! Weekly meetings, so many questions, and continuous refinement.
Jolene and I have been putting in the hours to craft up a business plan for Oxy Moron Games.

The last month has been emotionally demanding but vigorously rewarding as I have signed 3 documents. 2 financial loans and yesterday, a rental agreement with the PCYC.

We are 3 weeks away from opening!!

A brief description of our Business Plan:

Club-focused board game store run inside the Huon PCYC after school hours.

We are starting up with very limited funds, so on opening, we will only be selling board games, card games, drinks & tshirts, with huge plans for expansion.

As for the club, I have crafted up a 20 tier membership reward system. Members will be able to earn exclusive merchandise, in-store credit, member discounts and much more.

Entry costs are $20 per person, per night, and allow the member to access over 100 board games for as long as we are open (Tues, Wed, and Thurs, 3-11pm). You also get a free drink upon entry. 😲

We also understand that there are circumstances where you can't justify the $20 entry. That's okay. We offer a free service from the hours of 3 to 5pm on the days that we are open, with a smaller selection of games. 🥰

Need to know more?

We will be sharing more information dumps on this page over the next few weeks. Otherwise, you can comment below or send us a PM and we will get back to you as soon as we can 😊
