General Business

Guild awards

We were incredibly lucky to walk away with three SOC awards this year! Unigames received Runner-up Best Club. This award was such an honour for everyone and we want to extend thanks to our memberbase. Everything we on committee do is for you guys - to try and cultivate a community here among the tabletop nerds of UWA. Thank you so much to our wonderful gatekeepers who help keep our club running, to all the wonderful clubs we've run collaborative events with over the course of the year, and to everyone who comes to our events, hangs out in the clubroom, and makes Unigames such a generally cool place. Be nice and roll dice. The Best PROSH Small club award we recieved as a joint award with the wonderful UniSFA for our efforts at PROSH earlier in the year! Such a big thank you to everyone who was involved in the team, your wonderful costumes and enthastic fundraising efforts clearly made an incredible impact! And finally, Unigames' own Connor Brennan also received the Best President award! Connor is a long serving member of Unigames committee and has always been a warm and welcoming presence in our clubroom - we're very proud of him for this well deserved recognition.
