FYI - 9th October is a Monday - so I assume it will be Sunday 8th October.
It's about a 2.5 hour drive for me - It would be nice to meet you all

@dad664npc whoops, yes that’s the one.

Sounds good to me Phil. My cousin and nan live fairly close (MK area), so I can probably stay over anyway.

The only problem is the 8pm finish. I will barely have time to untangle my leads box! :lol:

Seriously though, this time, I'm taking 2, maybe 3 computers and THAT'S IT!! I should be able to show something working then.

Oh dear. :( Maybe get away from it all and come down?

Went to see the hall today and I think it should be fine for what we need. Plenty of plug sockets, tea and coffee making facilities, microwave, fridge. Projector screen but we’d have to use our own projector.

I think I’ll book it for the 8th and will look forward to seeing you all then.

The deposit will be £100 I believe, which I shall pay when booking. Is everyone okay with 10am till 8pm on Sunday 8th October?

All looks good and built before Northampton expanded and swallowed the village.

If we need a projector I'm sure that I can borrow one from work.

That would be good if you could Stephen, who wouldn't wanna play pacman on a 6 foot Screen :D

OK, I'll see which one I can knab.

Thats great @PhilC

So, just to confirm, its definitely Sunday October the 8th?

I will start composing a flyer. :girldance:

However, (at some point) we will need some info about whats happening. i.e.:

- Are we doing the Eventbrite thing again and is @Icky still up for lending a hand? (Perhaps another demo of the Phoenix?)

- Do we want to do another raffle/prize?

- We should maybe find out how many people want to come and exhibitors; what they are bringing/spectators?

@stephen_usher I have 2 projectors (one XGA, the other SVGA), both need bulbs, but I can buy one for the XGA unit if you cant pick a projector up from work.

I may be able to get an HD projector with both VGA and HDMI inputs. HDMI should allow an OSSC to be connected.

Ok. Let me know if it turns out to be a problem. :)

EDIT: I also have a couple of HDMI to VGA adapters I will bring too. Not sure of how well they will work with different configs, but they may prove handy.
