Something new from RLR Towers: Team of the week. This is a quick run-down of the best team performances (in terms of Elo ratings) in each division in the UK leagues from #SuperLeague down to the National Conference, and I'll chuck in the #NRL for good measure.

It's an easy starter in #SL:

It ran so well last time, we're doing it again!

@leigh_hackspace is holding another electronic music and sounds day on 22nd of Feburary 2026.

Open to all, enthusasm more important than experience or ability.

Make noise, record it, play with others, see what happens. We would love to see you there.

Our last one had keyboards, computers, synths, guitars, brass and a didgeridoo.

Been a busy weekend.

Finished putting the roof on the new pod at @leigh_hackspace. We're almost done with this build. Far pod is rented, near pod is being used for metalworking (for now).

The build has been a group effort, and workshops should be back to their usual dysfunctional state, as opposed to the current non-functional state by the end of the week.

Main space, electronics, Pi room and social room are all still available.

@leigh_hackspace are hosting a retro day and LAN party on the 23rd of November.

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/retro-game-day-and-lan-party-tickets-1963182842730

Does your childhood smell like 8 bit, 16 bit or even 32 bit? Yearn for square pixels in a resolution you can see? We're going to bring in all our old systems (Spectrums, Commodores, Ataris, even some vintage Macs) and hook them up for people to play with. Most will have fast loading and an array of games to choose from.

In our classroom, we're going to be running a LAN party, with a bunch of 2000s era games through the day. OpenArena (Quake 3), Unreal Tournament, Red Alert, Dune 2000 and Worms Armageddon. Win, lose, all done in the same room as your co-players.

We ask players to bring their own headphones or earphones with a standard 3.5mm jack. (Bluetooth headphones are not supported)

Doors open at 11am, LAN party games will change every hour, and a casual drop-in, drop-out approach.

Code of Conduct will be displayed and will apply to all players.

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Refreshments available on site.

This time let's preview the #slgf #SuperLeague Grand Final. Back to Old Trafford on Saturday where it should be dry for a change. The two teams are well matched, 52% favouring #Wigan. I just can't see past this team with Bevan French playing, but you never know.

Although the Elo ratings give us a closer match than in the #NRL last week, the bookies are going on form, and Wigan are peaking at the right time. #HullKR will need some inspirational performances.

Nice to see a council appreciating a local ghost signs, and commissioning a contemporary mural that recognises it.

Geekup Leigh will happen on the 30th October at @leigh_hackspace, starting at 1900. Free pizza of various types will be provided, and a fully stocked tuck shop for soft drinks and other snacks will be available.

GeekUp is a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the UK. It's a grassroots knowledge sharing and networking social for folks involved or interested in the web and technology industry.

We're not running talks, but we would love people to come and show off what they've been doing since 2015.

Old timers are warmly received and we would really love to see new faces as well.
