Anybody interested in an Amiga group for Manchester/North West

Zetec-s · 11 May 2007, 23:19

I was wondering if anybody would be interested about starting an Amiga usergroup in the Manchester area / North West (i.e. Cheshire/Lancashire/N. Wales/N. Derbyshire/N. Staffordshire/W. Yorkshire).

I am not suggesting that I would run it, as I have a fairly busy job nowadays, just that when I look on here and other forums I am fairly sure that a few regular meetings a year in the North West (based in Manchester) should lead to a fairly good turn out, say once a quarter.

For the moment I am just interested to see if anybody else is out there with the same thoughts and we can take it from there. Personally I would love to be able to see someones AmigaOne runing OS4, as the possibility of new hardware gets ever nearer.

Is anybody else interest?

Seems like a positive start. I have a few Amiga contacts in the Manchester area so I'll fire off an e-mail to them to see if anybody else is interested.

I suggested some meetings before.

Also I would like to organize one day party - retro systems, with competitions, some sponsorts,etc maybe some pub. Amiga would be main system ofcourse.

I'd be willing to travel `up north` quarterly if you could ensure i keep my alloys.

gdhgdh · 12 October 2007, 09:56

Man, I've just lost so much respect for you

You've changed, man. I thought you were cool!

Merlin · 12 October 2007, 10:46

@ Graham Humphrey

How can you judge coolness if you come from Norwich, the land of Alan Partridge and Sale of the Century, with Nicholas Parsons?

Cool people who came from Norwich - discuss

LOL

Cool people from Norwich? Well I'm from Norwich - end of discussion

eithelnim · 06 November 2007, 02:04

danwood · 07 November 2007, 00:24

i live in oldham and my amiga 1200 was in use nearly every day until 2 months ago when i bought this laptop! how many other people can say that about their amiga

Doc Mindie · 07 November 2007, 00:37

Dan, since your amiga is retired... can I borrow your acc-card?

*whistles innocently*

Mine would've been in daily usage still, if my acc-card hadn't died on me

DDNI · 07 November 2007, 00:55

Right with all u manc land people here, EAB Summer 2008 should be in Manc land.... But be sure to tell all the United fans where Manchester is though

Doc Mindie · 07 November 2007, 10:04

To all the United fans:

Manchester is located in France, about 350 miles in so direction (points in no general direction at all)

WHAT?????

Can't have the united fans ruin our Amiga Glory Days :P
