Gamessoc will be entering in the main event which will be the tournament between other clubs and socs later in the day so if you want to a go be sure to get there early! There is also going to be a sharpshooter competition for students to enter. Winners will then be entered into the raffle for a prize, an entry fee of 2 euro is required, with this you get to shoot three arrows through holes if you succeed at shooting through the smallest hole you will be thrown into a raffle for the winning prize.
