The planning for CL5 is well underway now, with plans to be made for Short Seminars, competitions, raffle prizes etc.

So whilst we plan the event, what are you planning to bring along with you? Last year had music theme, what do you think we should do this year?

I've had a few new additions to my retro computer collections over the last twelve months, so I'm just wondering whether I should bring one of those or one of my older items. What to bring? 8 bit? 16 bit? or even 32 bit are more than possible. I do have a soft spot for 8 bit machines though. It might be an Acorn Atom, Memotech MTX or even a Camputers Lynx...... :shrug:

So go on, what will you be bringing?

So for me I'm thinking the Cosmac Elf II (If it works!!!) and the OSI 600D that I brought last year but died on the day, the Science of Cambridge MK14 and probably the Atom replica.

So basically machines that run but which are just a bare board :)

I might bring my naked 800 to show off the clock replacement board. It does both the main system clock and the colour burst clock.

@rubber_jonnie how about a show and tell with your collection as one off the events on the day?

It's a possibility.
