Everyone rolled in steadily from 11am, and originally we only had 9 signups for the league… but by the time we did the draws we had 15, still awkward, as Dylan wanted to do the groups in multiples of 8. We decided to do two groups of 8, but theRead More →

Yesterday was another event- this time we were sup Yesterday was another event- this time we were supposed to be featuring the new Yoshi and the mysterious book game, but what actually happened was league round 1 took so long (record number of sign ups 😁) we didn’t have the designated time that we originally planned for it!! Everyone had fun anyway, just an apology to Yoshi for not giving him the spotlight he deserved!!

Thanks to @storielbangor for hosting us 💜
