(Image removed)Gaming in 2016 - A Guide for Parents
03 December 2016, 2pm-3pm - Drop-in Event
Are you struggling to keep an eye on your child's gaming habits? Have they asked for a game for Christmas, and you're unsure if it's suitable for them? Perhaps you're a keen gamer yourself, but are bewildered by the latest crazes sweeping through school playgrounds (why on earth is Pokémon GO so popular?)
On Saturday 3rd December we'll be holding a talk to guide you through the state of gaming in 2016. You can bring any questions or concerns you have to our gaming experts. Great for parents and anyone interested in learning more about this huge, often maligned medium.
