2022 is a big birthday for us so we're having a party!

30 years...!  To celebrate our 30 years in the hobby we're going to be having a big 30th Birthday Bash on Saturday 16th July, up here at our new premises here in Middlesbrough.  We'll have games, offers, cake and more, running from 10am until around 5pm (or until the games have finished!)

The Birthday Bash will coincide with the opening of our new Games room as well, so we'll have 7 game tables with a variety of display and participation games.  We'll also be running tours of the workshop during the day so you'll be able to see how we take a sculpt through to a metal casting, as well as our laser and 3D machine setups.

We'll have refreshments available on the day and will be looking at some catering options too, depending on numbers.

For anyone wanting to collect an order on the day, you can now place your pre-orders through the website by using the code BIRTHDAYBASH to knock 10% off your orders!  We'll also have a 10% Sale running on the website for anyone who can't make it to take advantage of any bargains too.

For anyone that can't make it to our 30th Birthday Bash, we've set up a Pendraken Discord server which can be found here: https://discord.gg/WTYqzCXU  We'll have game updates, photos and a live stream throughout the day, so head along and join in the fun!

And finally, if you'd like to run a 10mm Birthday game in your local area or club, please let us know and we'll add it to the list!

As always, any questions just let us know and we'll hopefully see some of you here!

It sounds like an excellent excuse for a road trip.
Alas I'm currently confined to a short radius my medical issues.

I'll certainly endeavour to dial in if there's a broadcast.

Best wishes to all and congratulations on keeping the business running and growing for 30 years.

Thanks guys, looking forward to it!

It might not be our real birthday date...!  We can't actually remember when Pendraken became 'official' but July is nice and sunny and seemed a good option...!

An official birthday .... like the Queen :)

Well, she turns 60 on that day - she's not a real baby sister either!
