DIARY DATES
Great News!
We are starting our own friendly Trading Card Tournaments, both Pokemon and Yu-Gi- Oh.
COME ON ALL YOU POKEMON & YU-GI-OH FANS, SIGN UP
The Yu-GI-OH Tournaments are proving very popular and there are now plans to run a contest each fortnight.
However, Pokemon fans are being a bit shy and staff down at CHIPS Stafford can only run the contest once they know there are enough people to stage a competition.
So, if you fancy your chances, pop into store or call 01785 255553 to put your name down. Once there are enough competitors, franchisee Susan Lake will name the day.
