Hi All,

As many of you know we have sold out of our allocated tickets.

In response to this I have had quite a few emails regarding getting a ticket ... and in response I have to say at this time that I cannot allow further sales ....

This is based on the size of the venue, now, in all honesty the LEGAL capacity is 120 ... and the design of the gaming layout will of course take up some of that amount. What I have to acheive is a safe, comfortable enviorment for everyone for the course of the weekend. Being packed isent fun.

Having said all that, it has been pointed out to me that there is a WHOLE pub with 2 bars and very rarely will everyone be upstairs at any one time ... this is true.

So, after having discussed this with some of the RV crew it seems only fair to at least talk with Roger and Mags at the Folly to see if we can accomodate more people. I have arranged to do this on Monday. I dont forsee any problems to behonest, from their point of view it's about sales and as long as we are within LEGAL capacity there should'ent be an issue.

So, for this weekend, ANY LLAMASOFTIE who does not have a ticket but wants one email me at mark@retrovision.org.uk requesting one.

FIRST COME FIRST SERVED

And by Monday evening I will know how many I can increase the limit too and will releate to the email list for that purpose. I may be able to extend to 5, 10 or 15 ... I dont know at this time. Please, in advance, forgive me if I cant sell you a ticket ... I have to think of the show as a whole, it's RV and very special to many of us here, money is little to do with anything here ... it's about comfort and enjoyment of the RV weekend and as always I will do my upmost to assist everyone where I can.

I'm doing what I can folks .... doing my best .... please do email requests.

My thanks to everyone who is supporting me here, you lot rock!

Markie

and on behalf of the RV and YakYak Events Crew.

If it helps my daughter and I are almost certainly only going to be around on the Saturday so if there's people looking to come on the Sunday or any other day then you can take two off the total figures for those days...

I was planning to just do my usual and wander up for a few hours to be sociable on Saturday so I'm not missing out on much. If places are that limited then I'd rather let someone else have the opportunity that wants to make the most of it.

I was thinking of either:

1. Singstar

Or something really retro, and a game which brings back many childhood memories:

2. Megamania on the Atari 2600 (Or Emulator).

Unless people would find that game too easy?
