Guildford Makerspace

The Gaming Day during Geek Week was great fun. We sold all the tickets and had over 40 people (adults and children) come along for the afternoon to play retro console games (including SNES, Sega Mega Drive, Nintendo 64), Nintendo Wii, tabletop and board games, and Minecraft. As well as staff helping out, we also had the Guildford Gamers and Retro Gaming Club Surrey groups come along, and they brought their games and passion for gaming with them. Big thanks go to them for being involved, and for giving others the chance to try out new and old games.
