Sorry to do this but just a little reminder to all that we do need some donations for the charity we are supporting, that being Cancer after the sad loss of DJ Skitz and Ian Muir who were both avid supported of RV for many years.
Out of the 80+ attending this year only 5 people have made a donation adding upto £55, come on folks ... drop something in the pot, even a quid! aim paypal to sales@retrovision.org.uk and make a payment.
Thank you all ... this really is important to us all :-) and remember RV is free this year *nudge*
Seeya all later this month for a weekend of Gaming and Drinking!

Might just be me but I've not donated because the multiple hundreds of £ of stuff I'm going to put in the auction should cover it
Can people please look at whats going in the auction so far and suggest how theyd like to see it auctioned off, ie individually, batches etc.
Im off to Cool Spot next week to see what the lovely chaps there are donating And also PC friend I am trying to arrange getting to Second Byte to collect their donations as I have been told its quite a big amount, awaiting a list from them.
I would like to arrange everything into how we are auctioning it, so if anyone wishes to proxy bid on anything they know what they are bidding on.
Thank you
Amy

Bollocks My hand surgery's gone wrong and now I have to keep my whole right hand immobile for six weeks! I'm not going to be able to drive, but I've already booked hotel etc...
Is anyone coming past me on the way there who could pick me and my charity auction stuff up? I'm five minutes from M1 J9 so maybe someone from up north is going past on their way to the M25? I'm down for Friday-Monday but I can always get the train back as I won't be taking any tech back...
Whoops, keep forgetting to reply to this! Anyways, me and DD are in for the Fri pizza and Sat barbie, and donations will be coming to you personally at RV, Markie.
[EDIT] Oops, forgot - anyone want an old Amiga A500? Got one sitting in the loft doing nothing. I *think* it may have a kick-switch but can't remember for sure. Would donate it for the raffle, but not even sure if it actually works any more. It worked last time we tried powering it up ages back, but internal floppy is buggered for definite. Might do someone for parts though!

Bless ya ... Can we have the Amiga in the auction? Even for parts :-)
If someone can come and take it then the Retrovision 5 Cocktail Cabinet arcade machine can go to the charity auction.
It's in my wifes garage still (in Wakefield) after we separated - kindly given to me a couple of years ago by Amy and James as a fixer upper. I put in a TFT monitor and some PC gubbins and it works as far as I'm aware.
