Big step up for the Museum!

[The BGI (National Videogame Museum) @TheBGI]

National Videogame Museum has been awarded a significant @HeritageFundUK grant to redesign our visitor experience with local communities in Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Chesterfield. Thanks to National Lottery players! https://t.co/BS1S9i40Kq

#kcswimbledon @KCSWimbledon Would you agree that the process of political appointments corrupts any theoretically independent system of law and allows extremists in either party to hijack basic rights by appointing fundamentalists?

[Mark Hardisty @hardistymark]

This is incredible.

We have @SheffDigifest @TheBGI @nvmuk and the world's biggest @PlayStation teaching lab at @sheffhallamuni

Boost @gamesbritannia to get it in front of more kids.

Sheffield could be the true Game City.

This year Thunder-Man
