Upcoming Retro Gaming/Classic Computing events

[Trooper]

Just thought I'd let everyone know that this years Retrogathering will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on October 2nd and 3rd. I am well aware of the fact that most, if not all, of the members here are located in the UK but should any of you happen to be in Sweden on the above dates please don't hesitate to come by and say hi! This is the fifth consecutive year we will be putting the show on and it should be the biggest and best so far. We've got 280+140 squaremetres of space this year, this means more space for sellers, more machines to play, more people, more exhibitions, more of everything!

More information can be found here: Retrogathering. It's all in swedish of course but if you'd like to attend just use the contactform at the site for any questions you might have!

Just noticed RetroVision 2010.5 has been cancelled. Entry updated accordingly.

Trooper: good luck with Retrogathering ... make sure you post some pics to the Retro Gamer forum, yeah?

I've noticed that Prof Peach has been hinting about a Console Combat II on the Lass O'Gowrie homepage, so have wacked a provisional entry onto the events calendar ...

Arcade Barn open day on Friday 19th

[Antiriad2097]

I'm surprised Arcade Bran don't have more regular events

[witchfinder]

They are open every Saturday now, and by the way their event on 19th Nov does have a thread in the 'All about the games' section of this forum...

I'm going down there on Friday and may be having a chat about doing something next year.

[DPrinny]

[Rinoa]

I've decided I'm gonna go to the Arcade Barn. Does anyone want a lift along the way?

[Edit] PM'ed DPrinny, but anyone else is also welcome
