Guid Nychburris 2025: How Dae Ye Neighbour?

June 21 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Join us this Guid Nychburris Day for a series of hands-on creative activities that explore what it truly means to be a neighbour.

Get stuck in with screen printing, badge making, gift-giving and more – all contributing to a new café-style installation capturing stories, memories, and everyday acts of neighbourliness.

From the smallest encounter or gentlest gesture to moments of profound care, we’re inviting the community to help us unpack the meaning of neighbourliness – past, present, and future.

Add your voice, share a memory, make a gift, and join the campaign!

Doongamers – Magic: The Gathering

#image_title

June 18 @ 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm

Magic: the Gathering is a collectable trading card game dating back to 1993. Players use their decks, containing lands, spells, and creatures, to battle against their opponent using a variety of tactics and strategies until one player emerges victorious.

Magic comes in many formats, each with its own list of cards that are allowed to be played in that format.

The Pioneer format (the one chosen by Team Scoop to be played at The Stove) is beginner friendly, accessible, and fun, with cards from late 2012 (Return to Ravnica) being legal, with a few exceptions that have been banned due to their power level.

Pioneer: £5 entry fee will add 1.5 boosters to the prize pool per player, with each player receiving one pack, and the rest being distributed amongst the top scoring players. 

Commander/other casual play: Free, can be arranged into pods/events on demand. 

More information can be found at magic.wizards.com or by contacting us via our Facebook Group (Team Scoop Magic Club) or joining our Discord (https://discord.gg/wg8REfc). 

What is Magic? 

Bringing people together through fun, competition and friendship. 

At a glance, Magic is a trading card game filled with strategic battles and unique card decks. But Magic has always been bigger than the box. Whether you’re having fun at the kitchen table, or battling in a high-stakes competition, there’s a place for you here.

5 colours. 5 play styles. Endless possibilities. 

Each of the five colours in Magic represent a different philosophy and a different play-style. Choose your colour(s) to decide which type of land you’ll be drawing resources (mana) from and what type of Magic you’ll wield.

Who are Doongamers?

Doongamers are a friendly, inclusive community of Doonhamer gamers with a passion for geek culture from Magic to D&D, Digimon to collectables! Hosting regular gaming sessions at the Stove Cafe, the community is always on the look-out for new members. With a community both in-person and online, Doongamers is fun-first, competition second. Oh, and milkshakes. Lots of milkshakes.
