Charity Begins in the Arcade.
If you live or happen to be around the Exeter area this Friday, please take the time to drop in and say ‘hi’ to RG reader Shaun Meldon, who’s doing a wonderful thing for Children and Need this year. ‘What’s he doing?’ you’re probably asking. A sponsored head wax? Perhaps a sponsored line dance? Nope, nothing that predictable. He’s actually letting members of the public play on his impressive collection of classic arcade games. That’s right, he’s putting them all on freeplay, including his highly sought after sit-down Star Wars arcade machine, and is simply asking for donations in return for providing hours of nostalgic entertainment. if you’re interested in attending you can find out more details by contacting Shaun on 07726 332871.
Nice one Shaun, and good luck for Friday. Make sure you get in touch to let us know how much money you raised for charity.

Hi All
Cracking night was had by all. Raised just over £240 for charity so thanks to everyone for that!
Several games took a hit it the cause so some repairs to be done but still enjoyed every minute.
It was nice to meet MikeB and have a retrogamer presence at the do!
I’ll be doing so gaming nights on the back of the comments from tonight so if you fancy being added to the email list to know of games nights/days please send a email to shaun@arcadebarn.co.uk
Thanks again
Shaun

Well done Shaun, it’s great to hear that the event was such a success. Remember to drop me a line with regard to Collectors Corner when you get a chance - it might strike up some further interest in the game nights you’re planning
