Congratulations Nathan & Team!
This was an excellent outreach event. Well planned and executed. Event's like these are vitally important to the sustainability of the club. My personal thanks to each and everyone.

I want to pass along the festival organizers' thanks for our contribution. A LOT of people spent time at our booth. Many many games of GRYTH were played, many thumbnails were mercilessly crushed into submission on the uJoypad, many confused people kept pausing NES games mid-jump when they got excited and tipped the NES-Chuck upright, and the Skull-o-tron saw more games played in the last four days than it likely has in the last 2 years. This event would not have been possible without the help of: * Alex (Omega) * Andrew * Ben * Colin (Prime) * Courtney * Dave (Ysarro) * Ethan (my son) * Fernando * Jim * Meako * Neena * Tish * Vicki (my lovely and most tolerant wife) * and... anyone I forgot... It was rough to be there four straight days during prime business hours, but we managed to have 2-3 people present all the time and things ran really well. Special thanks to Dave for help hauling stuff in and get set up and to Vicki for helping tear-down and haul stuff out. A large number of the people at our booth were under the age of eligible membership, but it was great to give them a fun experience to take home. A lot of people who had not heard of Skullspace have now, and their first-contact has been very positive. I had the opportunity to speak to a few parents and a lot of teachers about the space, and made a lot of really good contacts for the Cyber Defence Challenge and Online Safety For Kids projects. We may also see some interest in partnering for projects through people like Art City who were extremely keen to come check the space out and see how they can work with our members. One school in Steinbach runs a video-game development program with their students as was interested in seeing if we could work together on a mini Pegjam type event. Cool stuff! All in all, worthwhile event and I am glad we were there. -- Nathan T.
