Ideally I'd like it to be down the road from where I live, but then again travelling to these things is part of it

A multi-day affair with some sort of interesting visit (Bletchley?) would add to the fun. It's great meeting everyone, but it seems that no sooner have we met, eaten and talked bollocks than it's time to leave.

Oh, and somewhere that's just a big room that we don't have to vacate by a certain time, with somewhere flat to sleep on. People could fill it with consoles, tellies, projectors, cabinets and stuff. Make it like an old games arcade used to be like.

I'm thinking of a big event, rather than a smaller do in a pub. The small events are great, but if you took time planning a large event over a year or so, it could be really good

(and give us time to save money for it).

Lots of overseas 'softies joining us. As for venue I've no idea, Up North would suit me but I'm open to suggestion.

Something here perhaps ?

Just being able to attend would be nice IMO.

I like the sound of trying to give it an arcade-like feel though. Yes!

At least two projection screens/video walls - one for gaming on, and one for watching music on.

for it to be in scotland

mmm ... fair play, cant see it.

It would hav to be central ish ... and of course within reach of being having to organise it.

Several places have been suggested, those being Reading, Bristol and ... Marlow, just of the M4 and of course OXford.

I'm fairly indifferent to where it happens, getting there is part of the fun and it's nice to see other parts of the country

More international Yakyakkers should be present though. It can't be fun watching the action from the wrong side of the Atlantic, etc. Expensive travel though, which could be another reason to make it a big event - something to plan for and make visiting the UK a worthwhile event.

Mind you, you'd want to get some extra help organising the event if it became a large one. Don't forget you're supposed to have fun too and not have a mental breakdown while we're all enjoying ourselves - Retrovision Events Management Crew, innit

Would love a musical component to the event if at all possible - whether it's just NUXAQ DJ's playing a set, or a full-on gig from Llamasoftie/retro music groups. All accompanied by Neon on a projector, naturally!

As for venue, Midlands would make sense.

I totally agree ... this should be somthing to really bring the flock to one place.

Sounds like a plan ... NUXAQ DJ .. mmmm :-) YES!

Another important thing is the price ... we need to be able to do it for Â£5 per head...

Markie · Post by **Markie** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:11 am 0

and timing? I'm thinking April 14th & 15th 2007 ...

MadHippo · Post by **MadHippo** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:24 am 0

April 14th/15th could prove interesting, as my birthday is 14th..

Post by **Muttley** » Wed Oct 04, 2006 9:45 am 0

Wouldn't the summer be better?

(speaking a bit selfishly here, as I'm pretty certain I won't be able to make an April gig

)
