Put simply, it's the biggest Acorn / RISC OS show in the north of England
.

Apparently "Witchy" from BinaryDinosaurs is going to be there with his
Domesday machine. The charity stall is usually worth a look - there's oft
en a
bit of 8-bit kit there hidden in with the RISC OS hardware. No BBC micros
though, thanks to the WEEE regs and the bar-steward^W nice chap who dumpe
d a
load of 486 PCs at the stall that WROCC had to pay to dispose of...

You've just missed the deadline for advance tickets, but they sell them f
or
£6 on the door anyway so no biggie...

That would be neat - I've got a few hardware projects planned for this
summer, a few based around my Master 128. I might consider getting a stan
d
set up if it all comes to fruition. Not 100% sure if I could make it down
 to
Bletchley (I'm in Leeds) but it sounds like it could be quite fun.
