Upcoming Retro Gaming/Classic Computing events

[Mayhem]

Retroboerse is a repeating sales event pretty much... there's always one happening during the German/Austrian Eurocons for example.

I signed up for Retrovision, but did not get an acknowledgement of my ticket being purchased after the paypal payment went through. Tried to contact Markie to find out if it went through, but got no reply.

anyone else i can check with?

StarshipUK is the person to ask

[khisanth]

ah yes

[StarshipUK]

I have sent a PM. I am now sending the tickets out in batches, rather than one at a time. But I have also run out of stamps and keep forgetting to buy some. I have a small package of great value to post tomorrow so will buy a loada stamps then and get some more tickets posted

[StarshipUK]

It looks like the ticket went missing in the post, so I have sent a replacement.

It is the second one I know of that has gone missing in the post, so from now on they are being sent in envelopes (so much for my great idea of not having to buy envelopes )

- added ticket price for Retro Rewind
- provided dates for the next few Retro Gaming Nights @ The Lass in Manchester (as suggested by DPrinny)
- added a link to an international calendar of retro events (which includes the German one Starship mentioned)

It might be a good idea to make to change this to date order though to save people getting confused (RV should come before RCGF).

[Arcadian]

(obviously wasn't concentrating when I did that!)

now fixed.

Retrovision 2011 has been booked for the first weekend of April 2011:

So not to clash, this means I will move Retro Revolution to at least August 2011 if it happens at all.

Cheers Steve.

Anything come about RE: a summer event or is that now a non-starter (or has it become something else?)
