I'm slightly puzzled where the entrance to the carpark is ?

I assume its next to that purple fence, but where the little car is in the distance looks like a dead end ?!

EDIT:

OK nevermind, looks more clear in this image. Doesn't help as the year jumps all over place on google maps.. and the purple fence vanishes as well as buildings :lol: :roll:

@JezC I'm just planning on bringing an SGI o2 with a custom 3D printed case that I designed and printed. At the moment my ATW isn't in a state to show off because I'm beta testing new firmwares.

@exxos the car park is just around to the right behind that building on the right in the photo. It's a massive car park.

Ah that's good to know! I'm never going to be there for 10AM and I'll probably be back and forth to the car throughout the day as I get various bits of kit out. I was worried I might miss all the spots.

Sadly my sneak preview reveal of my back burner project isn't going to be ready for its proper demo. I should have started back on it sooner, but was making good progress with the Falcon board. I'll bring it as a WIP anyway and the machine its in does have quite a few of my projects hanging off it as a conversation piece!

Re car parking, could someone reserve myself & Steve a spot near the door please, it'll help with my carrying the bits and pieces in , thanks

I'm leaving Oxfordshire at 10 ish, 1.5hrs drive, should be there about 11.30 ish.

I'm not bringing that much (2x monitors, 2x computers, Power extension) as I've made no time to test anything.

Maybe I'll bring a third computer to show and not use. We'll see.

I'll bring a box of Amiga books that can be free. I brought most of them to CL1 and no-one wanted them but times change.

I'm aiming to leave around 08:00, 2.5 hr ish journey so should be there about 10:30.

I'm bringing quite a lot, wondering if I've over done it :dizzy:

There is a lot of small stuff to be fair.

Oh bugger, nearly forgot to put in a bench PSU for the MK14, better do that now.

Guys, about the parking...

None of the spaces will be particularly far from the door. Im not sure we have the manpower to put a parking attendant outside :lol: but what I will say is that you should be generally quite close to the hall and if its not close enough for your liking, I can always find some bodies to help move the stuff for you.

Just ask me when you get there. :D

FYI:

Im starting my journey out in a few minutes (travelling to a hotel near the event), so will be essentially 'offline' now.

Any pre-event questions can perhaps be answered by @PhilC @Icky or @exxos if they would be so kind.

Otherwise, I will see you all there.

Safe journeys to everyone attending. :dualthumbup:

So @PhilC is in charge now then, got it! :lol: :hide:

Just don't say I haven't warned you.
