Back 2 the Future 12/07/25
It was a very hot day, so we were very grateful for the Wheldon Building and it’s air conditioning/breezy windows! (and of course the space!) People started drifting in from 11am. We had sign ups for both the league session and our Mario Kart World tournament. The latter had anRead More →

Farewell Switch, It’s Been a Blast! 17/05/25
We’re not actually saying “goodbye” to the OG Switch. We just wanted to mark that this was the final event before the Switch 2 launch, as everyone is really hyped for that! We wanted a fairly chill day, but we also needed to fit in a much anticipated league session.Read More →
The Mini Yoshi Egg Hunt 19/04/25

No Love Lost 15/02/25
We were running slightly late this time, so turned up to the venue at just before 11! It didn’t take us long to get set up though, and most people drifted in gradually after 11. We didn’t see much Mario Kart today, a few muttered that they were too tiredRead More →

Christmas Number One! 14/12/24
We decided to finish the year with a more chilled meet. Not so much a mini meet, just a meet with minimal structure. We had the Quiz at 1pm, but other than that it was a chance for freeplay and a catch up with friends! We started with a FrogRead More →
