Just to let you know what machines I will have setup:

Atari 800XL + IDE/CF packed with games (Those which don't work from the CF can be loaded from the laptop)

Amiga a1200 with 1800 games installed/running from the HD. System boots to a menu for easy selection of a game.

Vectrex + flashcart (With protector/YASI/Space Wars etc)

C64 (breadbin style) + drive + transfer cable

I was originally going to bring a spectrum 128k+ (with diskdrive), but it looks as though I may not have the time to get it all setup)

You're inviting Mr Nanford to do the accommodation especially for us?

I find the Nanford an amusing place, it's got that uncertainty about it that makes an otherwise routine task such as going to bed a bit more exciting. Just think, you too could wake up with a ladder against your open window
Don't tell everyone! You'll spook the beast and spoil the trap!

Oh and anyone who has gone ahead and booked in to the Nanford anomaly will be sure to enjoy the "Kongman" style stairs. Walking up them drunk is no problem, because they are already pre-wobbled, so you end up walking quite normally.
do us a favour beta dont get us banned from this place like in frome
with your drunken loutish room trashing behaviour

I still deny that that was me. The fact that my last conscious memory involved Elizian basically carrying me up the street towards the hotel does not change anything.

Plus it lent a rock and roll atmosphere to the proceedings. If only they'd had a swimming poll to throw televisions into.

Right...

I'm not gonna make it. I really wish I could, but at this time I simply can't handle all the stress and spending. Ya'll have fun, now.

Arriving Friday lunchtime/afternoon probably, and leaving just after Sunday lunch

I'll be there Friday and Saturday. I really don't know if I should book anywhere, I'm only a 45min drive away.

Finally got round to buying my ticket!

I'm aiming to be there saturday lunchtime. One night in the Nanford is enough

- which reminds me, I should book that too.

I rather think it's because all our neurones are firing to be honest

Hello,

I intend to stop at the thornhill park and ride on the saturday ...

Looking at the site, the last bus I can get back to the P&R (not sure about these "espress" busses ..) is 8pm back to the Thornhill P&R ...

If I miss this bus, does anyone know of any other busses that run close to the Thornhill P&R? I don't fancy a 4 mile walk back to my car through oxford at night

Also, what time should I aim to be at the place for? As its a 2hours 30 minutes drive for me (without stops) to get there, so obviously I will tailor my setting off time to match.

I'll post my route later, and if anyone needs / wants a lift that isn't too far from my route (within 10 minutes of a motorway junction), I'll happily give them a lift. (have 2 free spaces at the moment).

**Edit** Route is quite simple really, M6 Jc21 --> M6 Jc4 / M42 Jc 7 --> M42 jc 3a / M40 --> M40 Jc 8a --> A40 until the P&R.

Ste.
