Run entirely by volunteers this fantastic event brought in players from all over Orkney, Shetland and Caithness. The event raised £600 for two local charities, the Orkney Blide Trust and Orkney Prostate Awareness, sharing in the proceeds.

At just an entrance fee of £5 per day, which included an evening meal, participants could take part in a 40K Warhammer tournament and a painting competition.

Doug Alexander won the Painting Competition. In the 40K Tournament Liam Horrobin took 1st place to secure the Win for Orkney, 2nd place was Chris Andrews and Michael Batty won the coveted Wooden Spoon.

As well as the 40K Tournament there were: games of HeroQuest, models for sale, a Knight Battle Royal and various card games. There was also food available the whole day.
