Just a friendly request to people looking to come to the event (especially exhibitors):
It would be appreciated if tickets were purchased earlier as opposed to later.
This gives us time to work with the exhibitors requirements, calculate allocations and accommodate, just in case anyone was e.g. thinking of a last minute exhibition of their restored IBM 704 mainframe or suchlike. Without prior knowledge, this may well be a problem, as we may have already allocated (table/floor) space to other exhibitors beforehand.
I know thats probably an extreme example (although anything goes, so who knows) but I make this example to illustrate the issue. Last year, we actually had to curb further exhibitor interest for lack of room, so its quite a relevant point.
I have tried to counteract this by holding the event at a larger venue, but still we need to keep on top of this.
Of course, if the above is going to be a problem for any reason then thats also ok.
On that note, we can also do cash on the door.
Please ensure that you purchase the correct ticket type too, as this will affect the above problem dramatically! (i.e. exhibitor or spectator ticket).
Also, dont forget there is a raffle with a fabulous first prize of an STE536 CPU speeder for the Atari STe computer.
Many thanks for everyones support on this. I look forwards to seeing you all there.
