I seem to recall that Chris put well over ten grand of his own money into the
retro gaming event a few years ago, and I don't think he ever got any of that
back - plus the organisational workload was an absolute killer; it was talking
to him about that which makes me appreciate just how useful it would be to run
a UK show as a VCF and therefore tap into previous VCF knowledge!
(That may well be the same event Ed's talking about - I know Chris was giving
serious consideration to never doing another one after that)

Oh dear. I didn't know that. Secondly, there is
"was"
an existing UK retrocomputing event, although
it's
not that regular.
It's deceased. It is an ex-event. It is pining for the
fjords. I was a little surprised at the number of people
selling stuff at the
one I went to. I really ought to clear out my attic and eBay off some
of the 1980s 8-bit clutter in there myself!
Yeah, I've been talking about that for weeks and just never get any free time
at the moment :( Which is a shame as it's all got to go in the next few months...
