I'm in Yorkshire, but would travel anywhere in the UK
for a vintage show :) Outside London would be a lot
cheaper I would guess, also travelling into London is
not cheap these days - especially if you want to
exibit
and need to bring a car/van.
Manchester would seem a good place - as it has some
interesting exibits at the Science Museum too -
including
the SSEM (Manchester Baby) of course - a working
recreation
of the original - now that's vintage!

Hmm, looks like the theory that most of the UK vintage computer enthusiasts
are in the North is true then. Maybe it's something in the water :P

But MSIM is (from what I've heard) a day out in itself, so it's unlikely you'd
be able to do both in one day. Could make a weekend of it though - UKVCF on
one day and MSIM on the next. Perhaps a group booking could be arranged with
the MSIM for interested parties...

I suspect it's more likely to be that houses are cheaer outside London.
and classic computer enthusiasts (no, make that programmers, engineers,
scientists) are not well-paid over here.
