A quick announcement that I am no longer serving as IGDA London Chapter Coordinator; it’s been great fun doing so over the last 10ish+(?!) years starting out in a team with Siobhan Thomas & Dave Green, particularly our hosting of many years of regular events at LSBU!

I’m looking forward to seeing what the fab new team (who I’ve proffered my ongoing support to already) brings to the chapter and any related or independent future games / games adjacent events I will be assisting in organizing in the coming year ❤️
