My thanks too to Robert for organising this. Sorry that I couldn't stay longer but it was good to catch-up with people. Stunt Car Racer is looking amazing - so smooth and really shows what the Beeb is capable of. Already looking like the best 8-bit version :D Had fun uncovering the problem with Alex...

Many thanks everyone for a great day and for so many interesting conversations!
Thanks to Robert for organising it and extra special thanks to Rob, Richard, Robert and Phil for helping out with my poorly Beeb.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I look forward to the next event.

Alex

Have fun everyone!

I was going to go just for today, but I'm still recovering from the epic cold from hell, so I need some rest. Maybe next time...

Some random photos for today... 6CAC0A45-3DA3-438D-8CFF-68ECB77522E3.jpeg 88BD6480-847B-408A-9CAA-D0D3CA0B0C54.jpeg 390CF5C9-00E5-4DF5-A46D-7569C4AB3B50.jpeg BFBF1973-0B38-409E-973D-D147F64497B7.jpeg FC5AB555-326A-49AF-A249-257DDEDAB50C.jpeg 4C0CA012-C8B1-46EF-AAE7-EE30AEC034E3.jpeg DEC5A0D6-6CA0-42...

We start (with breakfast) at 8am each morning.
We are pretty much at capacity this weekend. How much kit are you planning to bring?

Its great to see so many people here.

I was meant to be arriving today late evening, but had to go on a business trip last-minute so I'm now planning on Saturday before Noon. Many apologies. But looking forward to Saturday and Sunday!

Sadly, I don't think I'll be there today, as I'd planned. If I can get away I will, if not I'll see you all tomorrow morning!

I’ve arrived. Waiting for the next person to arrive to help arrange the tables.

Meanwhile, treating myself to fish and chips in the restaurant.

Right just setting out see you all in a couple of hours....

Phill.

This is a relatively large venue. However, it is going to be well attended and we are probably pretty much at capacity.

Please can I ask those with little or not kit either to make sure they are only occupying half a table or, better still, form a group on one of the round tables.

Thanks.

Does anyone want me to bring the RGB > SCART > HDMI capture kit? I wasn't planning on bringing a HDMI monitor this time but if someone would like to make some 50Hz 720p Beeb captures (or even Archie maybe?) then I'm happy to chuck it on the ever growing pile for the car. (I'm hoping these tables are...

Hi, I'll be setting off after work today. I hope to be there about 7pm. If there's any interest in a group dinner tonight and you don't mind waiting til 7pm ..that'd be cool (and I guess no matter if not !) Very excited and cool to see so many people attending the weekend! Thanks for arranging this ...

I am interested for a friend who helps with my Beeb's occasionally.

I've got an old-fashioned analogue dual-trace 'scope if anyone is interested. It's a Philips PM 3210, two channels and 14ns rise time according to the front panel. Pretty chunky. Free to a good home.

Right (hopefully) everything is packed up and waiting to be loaded into car tomorrow.

Hoping to leave Coventry at around mid-day so hopefully be there between 2-3pm depending on traffic etc.

Cheers.

Phill.

I am also selling a Scotle 858D+ Hot Air Station.

Thanks for sorting it all out! See you later.

UPDATE I have had an update from the venue. We will have access to the room from 8am tomorrow! :D (Although, I probably won't be arriving until about lunchtime.) Those staying at the hotel, however, won't be able to check in to their rooms until 2pm. Finally, if there is anyone considering staying ...

Maybe at ABUG

Good news (or perhaps bad depending on your point of view). My Monday trial in Norwich has been cancelled which means I will be there to the bitter end on Sunday night. That's good news, would have been a shame for you to miss out on some of the event you organised. I did look, but couldn't see it ...

Hi,

Can anyone give me a lift from Fleet station to the hotel on Friday afternoon? (There is a taxi rank there if not, so no panic!)

Thanks,
Bryan.

I've sent you a PM.

I am having a bit of a clear out and I have a few things I am planning to sell. If anyone is interested in any of the items, let me know and I will bring them along so that you can have a look at them. Rigol DS1054Z four channel, 1GSa/s oscilloscope with all four probes and hacked to unlock all the ...

I am pretty sure that everyone who wants a room at the hotel has booked one. However, just in case you haven't, be aware that there are now only three rooms left.

Hi, I am interested in attending (if it's not too late and I can arrange things with work). If I am only able to come for one day which one would be recommended? Also, I have an unhappy BBC B (https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16195) and a Valiant Turtle without a communicator. Woul...
