I used to go to one in Washington in the mid 90s in Fatfield I think it was, the hall was packed with about 100 Amiga's usually with 80 of them running Xcopy lol.... one rich kid used to lump a huge telly in and always had the latest consoles on it... I saw a PS1 first there and also an N64 with a Zip disk copier thing attached to it. Then for some reason that venue stopped doing it and it moved to a smaller community centre in Biddick. A guy called Steve Mason (iirc) I met there used to pick me up in the end as I first went there as a kid with a friend and his dad.

When it moved to the second venue that was where I first saw the Amiga online with them getting the latest stuff off Aminet for us. I think it was ran by a bloke called Dave but I always remeber this guy called Eddie who always had hundreds of coverdisks to sell as blanks for the aforementioned copying spree lol.

Maybe you went to these as well Mcgeezer? I really miss those Sunday mornings.
