SPNW does Retro Rewind Gaming Fair! 08/05/16
Not such an early start as the Expo back in November, and much more prepared with a full admin team! We got set up with a Bomberman SNES challenge, “Guess What’s in the Item Box” and freeplay Pokkén Tournament. We had Nick/Jack on Pokkén, as they were the most experiencedRead More →
SPNW and BUMPS present: Pokkén vs Cake 03/04/16
Back to the original beginning of the day with “will we get access or won’t we??” Having booked it months ago, the staff in the café still fail to pass the message on to security, but thankfully we managed to sort it in time with half an hour to spare….Read More →
Casual Mini Meet (#15) 18/03/16
It was the first time we’d tried Burger King as a mini meet venue, as well as an absolute age since we’d had this style of mini meet, with the previous one being around a year ago in Varsity! It was the last day of term for university students, soRead More →
Blast into 2016 with SPNW! 27/02/2016
We got set up in plenty of time, in our usual place of Academi cinema room! We had bomberman (and later Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games) on the big screen, with a smaller screen and Wii U (with assorted games) in the back corner. We also had anRead More →
Mini Meet #14 – Dance Jam! 16/01/16
We had the Dance workout last year, so we thought we’d kick off with similar, but more chilled out and more varied games. This time we had Just Dance 2016 and We Sing, courtesy of Cat. People also played a bit of Runbow, Tetris. Dancing proved fairly popular, and aRead More →
SPNW’s big Christmas Event 05/12/2015
With our different venue of “The Menai” in Upper Bangor, we were unsure of what to expect, even though we had trialled the venue a few months back for a smaller event. The weather was absolutely awful, with howling gales and pouring rain, so it was little surprise that weRead More →
SPNW does Retro Rewind Expo! 22/11/2015
The hype was real! This was the first ever charity event that SPNW had been a part of, and also one of the biggest collaborations. SPNW had its own setup in a corner of the venue, complete with both challenges and promotional material. It kept the regulars on their toes,Read More →
Pokémon BattleMaster Qualifier 2015! 18/10/2015
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 →
August Splaturday! 29/08/2015
We managed to squeeze in a second local summer event this year as we managed to acquire the use of Bar Uno again! This time was particularly special as we were able to offer all attendees £3 off their food/drink bill, and a limited food menu. We set up fromRead More →
The Big Musical Event 25/07/2015
