So yesterday saw the close of epic.SEVEN (big sad faces). The event has gone too fast as usual and is now over until epic.lite in three weeks or for those of you not making it to lite its over until feb next year! Which seems like ages away but im sure it will come round quickly.
Most of the news is now up regarding the tournament finals and fun tournament finals and as the staff start to recover from LAN a few final posts will go up to fill in the gaps such as full quiz results but to keep you busy in the mean time the Galleries are now up to date with all the images from the last day including prize giving. These can also be found on our facebook page.
During the weekend of epic.SEVEN we had our usual big games and fun tournaments going on. We are pleased to announce the winners and runners up of these fun tournaments who were awarded with achievements and some PC peripherals. The winners were...........

I managed to grab a few minutes with a member from each of the teams prior to the grand final commencing. Thanks to bOWZAr and KritikaL for their time.
I used the opportunity of Rasta arriving back from their B&B to have a word with jakem about how they faired in the tournament and their future plans.
Sadly, epic.SEVEN is now over! We hope you've all enjoyed the event and we look forward to seeing you at epic.EIGHT in February 2012 back here at Uttoxeter Racecourse.

The boat race one of our traditional games played at epics saw this events epic.TEAM well and truely beaten by the GamerFM side! Needless to say the epic.TEAM are a little saddened at our defeat despite a cracking start by our boat race champion Murray-Mint! We are however good sports so offer a well done to the Gamer FM team for their pint guzzling victory!
