It's on my camera and I'm on a train back to Reading.
Will sort out and put up this afternoon.
Just got back too. What an awesome weekend. What Andy has done is absolutely amazing, not only has he assembled the biggest number of machines in Europe, he's also captured the vibe of a classic arcade to a tee. Many thanks for opening it up for us to enjoy, for the extra hospitality of the chill out area, the beers, burgers and many nibbles! You went above and beyond for us and it was much appreciated by all.
As usual the day went by far too quickly, apologies if I didn't get to speak to you or only had a brief moment.
Finally, a big thanks to Alex and Eric for suggesting and coordinating this weekends meet, without both of you it just wouldn't have happened.
I've got a quick walkthru vid I'll try and pop up this afternoon, sadly I missed the group shot.

yes, I'd like to echo the previous sentiments, it was a great day and venue thanks to all those involved in arranging it.
Great to catchup with many of the old firm too who I'd not seen in at least 10 years I reckon and to put faces to the new names great to meet you guys to.
I Hope your back didn't go completely Andy.

Totally agree. Great day, and thanks to those that organised it all.
Good to talk with old and new forum members. Some great stories to listen too.
I wanted to say a big thanks to paulcan69 for bringing a monitor with him for me, Ace for supplying it and Philv85 for helping me load it into my car. Also Frothmeister, and Ben76 for bringing some bits along for me. Cheers guys

Unbelievable turnout by U.K.vac members at the Arcade club.
Thank you all so much for coming, it was great day,I had such a great time chatting to new and old members and I hope you guys did to.
This was the whole point of this event to give you guys the chance to get away from the forum and put faces to forum names and make new friends and I think it was a success.I hope to continue it for next year but maybe bring it forward a couple of weeks just to let other people who couldn't make it due to family commitments.
I also want to say a huge thank you to Andy Palmer and family and the guys that work behind the scenes who turned what was a building site 2 weeks ago into a cosy game room lounge where we could all hang out, chat, play pool and arcade games.
It was a fantastic set up and ideal for what we needed for our meet.
Tony Doyle makes a great dog roll ??
Thank you all ??????

I can only repeat what has been said by others, what an amazing place, and thanks to Andy and the crew for all their hard work in organising the event.
Great to catch up with people, both old and new. Some people I have talked to for years and finally put a face to the name.
It also never ceases to amaze me the sheer amount of talent and amazing projects going on within the community.
Here's to the next time!

Respect to Anunaki and his mate for travelling from Holland.
Thanks to Andy and everyone working at AC that made us feel at home.

Group photo... I have a bunch of other photos and have put them on the ukvac Facebook group... I can resize all to put on here when I have a spare bit of time...
Just got back from Manchester and had a great time at the meet. As has already been said, thank you so much to Andy and everyone at Arcade Club for organising such a great event. I took a couple of brief videos early in the day, one of upstairs in the main Arcade and one of the room where we had the UKVAC meet. Apologies for the shaky iPhone video:
