Hi guys and girls of Chester,

We're a group of Pokémon fans who are running a new event in Chester city center and just wanted to start getting the word out that we are happening. It's gonna be held at the Canteen Cafe (St Werburgh St, near the cathedral) on the top two floors on October 17th.

Our main goal is to build a community for other Pokémon fans to try and get their hands on some new cards, trade, and play against each other regularly. So if that's something you'd be interested in, look no further.

Oh, and the event will be FREE entry.

What will be there:

We have arranged for Geckos from Wrexham to attend the event and sell there. Geckos have amazing stock and always sell at great prices that you'd struggle to find elsewhere. We are also in the works to arrange for other retailers to attend.

We will also be hosting a paid tournament (£10), which will be sponsored by an online retailer who is supplying some Korean Booster boxes for prize packs and some runner-up prizes. And the first-place prize will be a full Mega Evolutions ETB. So if you don't manage to grab one on Release day (10th October), here is your chance. We will be having a Pokemon Professor on site to help run the tournament, which will be decks of 60 cards and best of one to keep the games fast-paced.

The Cafe will be open downstairs for any food and drink you need during the event, and there will also be a trading area for you to hang out with other collectors.

Finally, we have made our own promo cards, designed by a local artist, that we will just be giving away to anyone attending. If you're interested, make sure to check out our socials as we will be posting further updates as they happen there, and if you've got any questions, just leave a reply to this post.
