Back in the Wheldon again, but this time the room was set out like a conference (chairs in rows with single table at the front) so those who arrived early had a lot of furniture to move! Most people started drifting in around 11am, with some appearing later and othersRead More →

Back in our usual venue, we set up in good time, and people slowly rolled in after 11am. The freeplay got started straight away with some Pacman Vs. It was John’s birthday and that was his first game of choice. We had cupcakes for the occasion too, the chocolate onesRead More →

It was a warm summer’s day, and we’d stocked up on plenty of snacks for everyone. The doughnuts went down a storm (Thank you Tim!) It was a pretty chilled start, as we opened the sign ups and raffle, then allowed a gap for people to catch up and practice,Read More →

We decided that this year the league would be 2 rounds instead of the usual 3; simply because there’s just so many things to play on the Switch, if we have any gaps in events, we can dedicate a freeplay section! Anyway, little did we know that we didn’t haveRead More →

After trialling a couple of new venues this year, we’ve decided that Wheldon is best suited, at least for now 🙂 We got set up early as usual, and people trickled in gradually. Freeplay was set up, which saw a bit of Othello, and later ARMS and 1,2 Switch! RoundRead More →

We were in a new location this time, Pontio.  Everyone managed to find their way up to the second floor on time for the event. We even had a few people passing come in to have a look. They were disappointed we weren’t doing anything related to Animal Crossing butRead More →

We were able to set up from 10, which was ideal and ran smoothly. It allowed the early arrivals to have some freeplay on Mario Maker, Runbow and Smash, before all the official sign ups happened between 11 and 11.30. Due to the nature of the event being a qualifier,Read More →

It was also our first “official” birthday, but with two events happening within each other, we sort of left it at that! (Our 2nd birthday is technically at the end of November, so it might get a mention then too 😉 ) We swung by the shops to pick upRead More →

This was a slightly different type of event. We usually host our events in Bangor, but due to the University Summer Ball being on the same day, Bangor was pretty much a no-go area if you weren’t going to the ball! Menai Bridge Carnival was also happening that day soRead More →

This was arranged at somewhat shorter notice than other events, but we wanted to make our mark at Nintendo UK’s Winter Pokémon Event on the 7th December, so after we had just hosted our Big Official Pokémon Event, we asked people to sign up for another event, deemed just “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!!
