We’ve just wrapped up Kickstart 8 – thank you to everyone that came along and produced another fantastic Amiga meetup. It also means it’s time to open up sales for the summer BBQ meet, combining good times, good friends, great food, lots of Amigas and plenty of fun!

A Kickstart tradition that dates back to 1997, we’ve had a BBQ at our home base in Ottershaw every year we’ve been doing in-person meetups. Unlike our regular meets that take place on a Sunday, we move this meet to a Saturday to make it easier for people to stay over for the night, have a drink etc. and we have some top-notch food lined up for the grill.

We’ll be doing good quality burgers, sausages, chicken and more, as well as coleslaw, salads and other stuff. You are more than welcome to bring your own beer and/or wine, but please drink responsibly.

Kickstart 9 will still be a regular Kickstart meet-up, with all the usual fun and games (we might finally get one of those gaming competitions going on the big projector screen, you never know). We will also have the new TheA1200 on display, the full-size sequel to TheA500 Mini, but with a full working keyboard and AmigaOS, as well as pre-installed games.

As well as the usual top-quality fun, expect some special guests, some very special competitions and a few more surprises.

Table Tickets: Ticket includes all-day access to the meet, BBQ lunch, snacks and soft drinks/water/tea and coffee, a reserved chair and a table for you and your Amiga or Amigas.

Table Tickets (Stage): Same as a regular table ticket, except these tables are situated on our stage area looking out over the main hall.

No Table Tickets: Same as a regular table ticket, except you don’t have a table, so you won’t be able to set up your Amiga. Everything else is the same.

Spaces are limited, so please don’t delay securing your spot at the hottest Amiga event of the summer!

Are you ready? The car is mostly packed, the Amigas are boxed up and tomorrow morning we head to Ottershaw Village Hall in Surrey for our eighth Kickstart meet of the new era. It’s a sold-out meet once again, and we are set for a great day of Amiga fun.

Keep an eye on the site tomorrow, if you were not lucky enough to get a place for Kickstart 8, we will be making tickets live for Kickstart 9: the summer BBQ meet!

Kickstart 8 is this Sunday (1st February 2026) and is completely sold out. However, all is not lost, as we are excited to announce the details for K9 – our annual summer BBQ meet and the hottest Amiga event of the year!
