Attendees have all received an email with all the key info they need for this event.

Parking Update

For this meet, there is a one-off change to our usual arrangements. Due to major roadworks in the area, the Murray Road Car Park directly opposite the hall will be closed on 1st February. We only found out about this over the past weekend. However, as it is a Sunday, parking restrictions are not in force, so street parking in Brox Road, Shaw Close and other roads off Brox Road is perfectly fine. We recommend parking outside the hall to unload, then relocating your car further down or in a side street to allow others to do the same. We expect to have the car park back in operation in time for our next meet.

What to Bring

If you have a table ticket (which most of you do), there will be a table and a chair waiting for you – all you need to do is bring your Amiga and its associated bits! This list will help ensure you don’t forget the essentials:

  • Your Amiga
  • A Monitor
  • Mouse, Mouse Mat and Joystick
  • Power Cables and Power Supplies for your Amiga, Monitor and other peripherals
  • Any games or software you need
  • Speakers (if not built into your monitor)
  • Mains extension lead (the more sockets the better). We provide Black surge protected extension leads that are plugged into the wall sockets, please plug into these and not straight into the wall sockets – thanks.
  • A screwdriver (just in case you need to open up your machine)
