Here’s a list of the remaining events for the year:

Christmas party hangout and music quiz Wed 7.12. at 5 pm, Terrakoti
This hangout hosts the traditional ANC game music quiz. Our honorary member Paavo has once again collected a playlist of 15 of the world’s best pieces of video game music, and it’s up to us to find out what plays where and when. No great precision is needed for this quiz, but this year taking part with lowered difficulty is also possible, you’ll be given the choices and you’ll only have to put them in the right order. Since it’s also a Christmas party you can also look forward to some glogg and gingerbread. Welcome.

Smash-weekly Thu 8.12. at 5 pm, Turku-hall

Hangout Wed 21.12. at 5 pm, Terrakoti
This hangout will close the year for ANC. Thank you to everyone who showed up!

The main event of the year, The Finnish Championship of Nintendo, 2022 edition is coming near! Like every year, attendees compete in different Nintendo consoles to see who really is the best.

The games are kept as a secret and you will find them out when the tournament begins, so no one can prepare for the tournament before hand; you can survive with experience on different kinds of games.

This year the format of the tournament will be the most asked and requested DOUBLES TOURNAMENT, so all you have to do is to find a friend, your significant other, or a stranger at the tournament to compete for the title of winner.

This event is free and open for everyone. Alcohol or other intoxicating substances are strictly banned from this event. You can sign up to the tournament till the day of the event!

Spring has arrived and now is the time to congregate the Annual Spring Meeting. As per usual, last year’s annual report and financial statement will be presented and processed. We’ll also hear a statement from the operations inspector, which will hopefully relieve last year’s board from their duties. You don’t want to miss this one!

The date and time for the Spring meeting is as follows:

Sunday 27th of March, at 1pm.

Last year’s Spring Meeting was held remotely for obvious reasons, but this year we’re lucky enough to be able to hold the meeting in person at Terrakoti. Terrakoti’s address is Rehtorinpellonkatu 4, Yo-talo B.

tl;dr

• What: Annual Spring Meeting
• Where: Terrakoti (Rehtorinpellonkatu 4, Yo-talo B)
• When: Sunday 27th of March 2022
• How: Just arrive at Terrakoti
• Why: Following regulations, last year’s annual report and financial statement will be approved
