Any interest for a vintage computer / console meet in Northern Ireland

I'm not sure if this is the correct section to put this in but here we go anyway.

As the title says I'm trying to gauge interest on a potential vintage computer and console meet with aspirations for turning it into a regular(ish) event and potential club. Just looking for interest for now but in terms of venue I was thinking of one of the local community centres close to me (Dundonald).

Now I know for most people here Amiga would be the primary focus but as there is nothing even of the sort locally in NI I was intending on opening it to any vintage system computer or console.

As I say just looking to gauge interest at this point. I will be making enquiries on venue costs this week so will update further then. In terms of date I was thinking Saturday 21st August although that can float.

I know I've put this question out before but I'm determined its happening this time. Even if I'm sat in the community centre hall by myself its happening.

Well it's a bit far from my house so I'm out

It seems a little soon in my opinion, it's the vacation period in the year where people will be able to travel again after all the lockdown madness so August seems not too great a choice to be setting something like this up; September would probably be a safer bet.

Well I am fully open to letting the date slip, I just though of trying to catch the end of the school holidays when things maybe aren't as hectic for people.

Halloween might be another option if that suited better.
