You wanna lift dude ?

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Just wondered if any one was passing arcade club on route to revival if they could pick up two pcbs for me ?
A beer will be waiting your delivery

Be good to see you all there peeps! Surprised us all how big the response has been for this mid-sized venue, but it's encouraging to see a good turnout of VACcers and to nearly fill the place both days

The good news is I have crunched the numbers and can confirm we are in good stead to return in 2016, with a possible 2 or even 3 events of different size and focus! We will be starting some early planning right after Winter Warmer and we would like UKVAC's full involvement again next year if possible, so if you want to get involved as an individual or club together and help Dave Otto put on a really impressive arcade front for next year, then please message either of us and we can start getting some ideas down.

Where are people staying on the Sat night ? - Tempted to come down Saturday afternoon / evening and join up for a curry / beer ?

 

[Monkeykong1]

Is it anywhere near the train station, I'm tempted but no transport.

Colin - I'm not staying the night, but will be there on Saturday with smarty. I'll PM you my number so we can hook up on the day!

Similarly, if anyone fancies catching up on the day drop me a line. Would be fun to meet some of the people who have sold stuff to me (Muddy) / worked on OutRun software projects with me (Colin/Cmonkey) / been incredibly patient with me (Ben76!).

I take it you mean the main Wolverhampton station....if so to be fair it is around 6 mile from Wolverhampton city centre. you could say without transport, the venue seems to be in the middle of no where lol....
