* I've posted this as a new thread so that people dont have to go through the other thread to get to this info - Please can you post here from now on about this, as gauging the level of interest for this is very important *
Hiya all,
Well! Nice to see interest growing again. I'm sorry that last years meet didnt happen, but life has kind of taken over since then. When I organized the first meetup, I had much more spare time!
In fact, a lot of you may have noticed I've been a lot quieter recently altogether (hell, I even lost my top poster position which I held for about 20 months!). My job has got a lot more busy, and I now have a hell of a lot more responsibility, meaning that other things have been put on the back burner, including, unfortunately, my involvement in the GP32 scene
. That may be changing though ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Various Venues have been talked about, with various places mentioned, and the midlands turning out quite popular...
HOWEVER
Myself and Craigix have had what we could call a bit of a chat. There is a chance (and only a chance at the moment), that something damned interesting may be around the corner. I cant reveal any details as of yet, as it may not happen, and depends on various things going to plan. BUT - if it all comes through, there could be one good event ahead.
Like I said - no promises, but whether it is feasable or not should be known in the next few weeks.
Lets just say that if it happened the event would be GP32/Retro Gaming/Retro Computers combined thing.
I'll soon be setting up a website a-la the last Brit Meetup to gauge interest, but to get an initial idea, please post here too. It would all be happening in County Durham, which is quite a lot further North than most of you have been talking about, but hopefully, if this actually can happen, it'll be worth that extra journey for the Southerners.
I'll post once the website is up, and we'll see how it goes!
And like I said - nothing is anywhere near fixed yet. This all depends on a number of factors, as well as on the level of interest...
