In our final event before the Oxjam Takeover, we will be hosting Shetland's first ever Goldeneye N64 Tournament! Everyone into videogames remembers the days of playing the game 'Goldeneye' with all of their pals, and we're looking to recreate the magic of our youth by hosting a 32 man/woman tournament to see who can claim the title of Shetland's Goldeneye Champion, whilst raising money for Oxfam of course! This exciting fundraiser will be taking place upstairs in Mareel's cafe bar. There will be a range of cocktails on offer - one of which will be a special Oxjam cocktail where £1 of every drink purchased will go towards our total. There will also be music from our very own DJ Lyall, where you can expect at least one or two Bond hits in the mix! We encourage players and spectators to dress in their finest Bond attire, as there will be a prize for the best themed costume... Effort will be rewarded! To sign up to play in the competition, check out this link: http://tiny.cc/oxjamgoldeneye. The entrance fee is a minimum of £5 which must be paid before the night, in order to register your interest and secure a place. Of course as we're raising money for charity, feel free to donate more if you wish! 100% present of the proceeds on the night go towards Oxfam!
