[amigakit.com]

Would you want us to attend?

[johnim]

Hi amigakit that would be great if you think it would be of worth to you and be great as we are looking for as many as possible

[fitzsteve]

@Amigakit and thread, it's not open to the public, i.e no admission from others outside the scene, but if anyone wants to come along from Amibay/EAB/etc please let us know and you'll all be welcome. We will need to know who is coming and if they want/need any table space.

Would be nice to see Amigakit there and maybe an X1000 up and running but I don't think you'd make a lot of sales as it will be a small crowd, certainly will be fun from a social side though

Steve.

These events are rarely economically viable: but we always like to support these initiatives.

[johnim]

As I say it would be awesome to see you there

Hopefully posting here as well will generate more interest

Nice looking pub.

Aim of the meet is anything in particular, or just get together?

Just a get together to hang out, show off our machines. Perhaps see and use some hardware you've not enjoyed before. We'll all go out for a nice meal Saturday night and have a laugh.

Me and my gf would love to come, could bring my Amiga Nyx and CDTV CR too (Got other rare things too if the tables are big enough lol)

[roberthazelby]

Out of interest, if there are people who are only able/willing to attend one of the days of the meet and not stay anywhere, is that also possible?

Fantastic. Will check the diary (and with the other half) to see if I'm free and will drop you a PM.

[Garyc2012]

Woot !!!

I bought my current car from Coventry, flew into Birmingham from Belfast City.

But the bit I don't like is

"Which stops serving drinks at 11:30pm and closes at 12:00pm"

Only Joking !!!!

Post your Paypal ID and Im more than happy to make a (Sizeable) contribution.

PS anyone going to the BBC 30th ???

I never owned a beeb, but like the Amiga it was years ahead of its time, and was a pioneer of British ingenuity.............none of the cheap american rubbish (oops I forgot this is an Amiga Site )
