Didn't know about it?!
It has been mentioned here before a few months back, but it was probably
part of a thread where the topic drifted.
I was considering going, but I am too busy with other things right now. I
would certainly go next year when I have less things on my 'to do' list.
Does TNMOC or VCF-UK have a website where we can see a list of fixtures (for
those that are going/planning to go) or photo's from the event (for those of
us that can't make it)?

Hi guys,
Just out of curiosity, is anyone planning to attend the UK Vintage
Computer
Festival this year? The one that's running on the
19th and 20th of June at
Bletchley Park?
I'm toying with the idea of booking some time off work and going down on
the
train for either the Saturday or the Sunday; I'd
rather like to see the
talks by Sophie Wilson and Tony Sale, although it'd be nice to meet up
with
a few of the UK-based classiccmp'ers as well. The
mailing list is fine,
but
it'd be nice to put names to faces :)
I also figure the "VCF Flea Market" might be a good way to get my sticky
paws on some 8-inch floppy drives, discs and possibly an MFM hard drive
and
controller pair or two. I still don't have a
working 8in drive to test the
DiscFerret with...
Speaking of which, I could be persuaded to bring the current "circuit
test"
prototype down with me, though booking a table will
probably be a real pig
at this late stage, and I'm willing to wager it's probably going to be too
expensive for my budget anyway (I'm saving my last ?150 to get a run of
prototype PCBs made!)...
Cheers,
