NEWS

 

WOW Toys

We have had a large shipment of these very popular toys arrive with a special giveaway for April. Spend over $40.00 on Wow toys to receive a free pack of 4 characters valued at over $13.00.

 

WOW are wonderful toys for 1 years old – 5 years old. These toys are British designed, brightly coloured, very robust and very appealing for children. We have had several Wow toys in our play area in the shop for several years and have had many children testing them and all still look brand new.

 

Sylvanian Family Club

The Sylvanian Club is proving to be very popular. We have had a new shipment of Sylvanian figurines in time for the School Holidays. Please come in and fill in a form to join the Sylvanian Club (if you haven’t already) and select your free Sylvanian character. The next Sylvanian magazine will be mailed out shortly.

 

South Wairarapa Junior Chess Tournament

The date has been set for Friday, 10th June. Once again, All Aboard is organising this great event for the 8th year. Over 100 school children from the South Wairarapa will be battling for trophies and awards over the day which runs from 9.00am – 2.30pm. The competition can be intense, but all children enjoy the opportunity to compete and all seem to leave with smiles on their faces and each child takes home a gift pack at the end of the day. We are very fortunate to have a great team of volunteers who help on the day, and have made the Tournament a success each year. We would love to hear from anyone else who would like to be involved (knowledge of Chess is not necessary, as there are lots of jobs to be filled.)

 

Children’s Games Club

Starting again in the 2nd week of  Term 2 and will be on Tuesdays at the Featherston Community Centre, 14 Wakefield St, Featherston – 4.30 – 5.30pm.

 

All Aboard has been running the Children's Games & Chess Club in Featherston for about 7 years and we do enjoy the opportunity to meet and play with the children each week.

 

The Games Club is open to all children 7 – 14 years and parents or caregivers and it is free to come along. We do appreciate the use of the Community Centre which is such a great venue. An opportunity for children to pick up some tips before the Chess Tournament in June and to have fun playing a wide range of board games and card games. All Welcome.

 

Wellycon Games Weekend

The date has been set for Queens Birthday Weekend - Saturday 4th June and Sunday 5th June. Wellycon is a fun, friendly convention playing board games and card games. The cost is $5.00 per individual or $15.00 per family per day. We found the group very welcoming  - people are on hand to help newcomers and lots of games are available to try.

On Sunday there will be a family session with games particularly aimed at 5 – 12 years old. We are aiming to be there to help with the session.

 

The venue will be Level 1, Events Centre, MAWSA Complex, Massey University, Gate E, Tasman St, Wellington.

Times:  Sat 4th June 10.00am – 9.45pm

Designed by Corey Konieczka, Mansions of Madness is a macabre game of horror, insanity, and mystery for two to five players. Each game takes place within a pre-designed story that provides players with a unique map and several combinations of plot threads. These threads affect the monsters that investigators may encounter, the clues they need to find, and which climactic story ending they will ultimately experience. One player takes on the role of the keeper, controlling the monsters and other malicious powers within the story. The other players take on the role of investigators, searching for answers while struggling to survive with their minds intact.
