Thats right. As PhilC has mentioned above, we have between us not had much time to deal with this due to 'real life' issues of one sort or another, that can cause our hobby related plans to grind to a halt sometimes. We have not abandoned the search for the ideal 'holy grail' venue. However, it can ...

PhilC Ok, fair enough. We probably dont want any of that! :| How about this then on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard: IMG_0176.jpg IMG_0076.jpg IMG_0071.jpg IMG_0066.jpg IMG_0062.jpg IMG_0059.jpg Cheaper to hire (£18/hour), bigger than last time (~7.4m x 14.5m EXCLUDING the size of the stage), par...

Ive looked at a fair few halls now. Like most things, its all a compromise of one sort or another. i.e. Size, parking, location, cost. This one seems to be as close to ideal as I have found so far. If we can make do without a stage, then I think this could be the one. Remember, If they dont have one...

Ok, found this place, St.James Community Centre, close to central Northampton, but not far from the M1 junction: 2024-02-11_09-27.png Its £34/h on weekends, so a bit steeper than before, but it has 150 capacity and is much bigger than the previous venue. So e.g. From 2-10pm Sat/Sun hire costs will b...

Well I heard back from Moulsoe PH: 2024-02-08_14-23.png So for a decent time (i.e. 2pm till late on a weekend) thats around £280. As for the hall size: (maybe we give each exhibitor a room each! :lol: ) 2024-02-08_14-23_1.png Not sure if thats much larger than the last one TBH and they dont have any...

Just bumping this. Unfortunately, Im a bit snowed under with real life issues ATM to have any presence here on the forum lately. However, I did manage to have a look at a few hall options: One that looked very nice was Medbourne pavilion in MK. However, at £40/50 per hour it was a bit too much. Ive...

You never know Phil.

Want to buy a C128? :P Tempting as it may be, after the house space 'restructure', I only have room for desktop style stuff (other than whats on the top of the stack; the TF536/H5). So that would mean a 128D. Also, rubber_jonnie seems very keen! :lol: Besides, all this time waiting to set up my wor...

Just logged in to say congrats on getting the C128 fully running at last Phil.

Hopefully you'll take care and ease up on the soldering jobs for a while.

I never even knew those Open 128 boards existed @PhilC .

I am doing very well resisting the temptation of getting a C128... well, until we get that 'other' project running properly, anyway!
