Last month we had a competition to win tickets to go to The Lego Show up in Manchester.  The show happened over the bank holiday weekend and one lucky family got to go thanks to Lottie who won the family ticket!  When we sent them the tickets we set them an optional challenge to review [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/the-lego-show-reviewed-by-our-competition-winners-warning-very-cute/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/education/parents-teachers-bafta-to-livestream-young-game-designers-workshop-thurs-17th-may-from-1pm http://girlygeekdom.com/education/parents-teachers-bafta-to-livestream-young-game-designers-workshop-thurs-17th-may-from-1pm#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 07:30:59 +0000 Sarah Lamb http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20496
