FWIW, the remnants of WACCI, an Amstrad CPC group that put on a few such events, are having a pub meet in London on the 18th of November (see recent announcement in comp.sys.amstrad.8bit). Even if none of the old organisers turn up, CC and VCFers are most welcome to join us for beer :-) Model railway clubs would probably be good places to look for expertise in running similar events, as many of them hold a yearly exhibition. Typical venues are church halls, schools, and (out of season) non-league or low-division football clubs. I expect there's quite a large cross-over between vintage computing and railway modelling too, which helps a lot - lots of them use BBCs for their control systems.

The wurst are from Germany. -- seen in alt.2eggs... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of the better prepared and displayed shows that I remember are the Meccano exhibitions and the traction engine groups. Some of their members had been doing this for 30-40 years. Bet they could offer a lot of help and advice. Your sig file sounds like an old Goon show gag. Billy
