exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hi all,

The South West Amiga Group (SWAG) are holding another meet. This time in the South West :lol: - Clyst St. Mary to the north of Exeter.

This is a smaller meet to test the water as previously meets were north of Bristol and too far for Cornwall members. So there will be drinks and snacks provided for the ticket (£10) but you need to bring or buy your own lunch (shops nearby).

Although primarily an Amiga meet I like to bring along other stuff as we all have and seen A500s and A1200 :lol: and it's nice to see something else.

Not sure if this location and date will suit anyone here?

Update more details:
The venue for this latest SWAG event is the Clyst St Mary Village Hall, Clyst St Mary, Exeter, EX5 1AA. The Hall is just a short drive off from junction 30 of the M5 and has masses of on-site parking.

At this initial Exeter meet we won't be providing a buffet lunch as we want to see what sort of take-up we get from Amiga users. We will be providing drinks and snacks, however. We have been informed that
there is a local convenience store with a hot food counter, but you may want to consider bringing your own lunch on this occasion.

Times - not confirmed. But I think it is 10am - 5pm. I will update when known.

EDIT: Tickets now on sale £10 - https://www.southwestamiga.org.uk/

:bump: - as this event is this weekend

The show was good. First one in South South West, so many new faces attending. It was good to meet @Icky and we had a good chat. I was speaking to someone else and they also had a ZX81 then had a QL, I mentioned you but I think you had gone by then.

It was good showing the Sam Coupe, Vectrex and X68000. Most people had not seen these systems in the flesh.

Also got to see a TF4060, the owner had only got it the day before and was trying to test it with a modern SCSI card. Their 4000 had over 800mb of Fast Ram via a number of expansion cards!

My systems behaved themselves and most were on for nearly a solid 6 hrs.

Nice meeting you yesterday @Higgy.
