UK VCF?

[Rod Smallwood]

Hi
   As much as I would like to see something along these lines. 
It would be best to sort out the funding first. 
Perhaps a small group of interested parties could meet to see if such an
event is feasible in the UK.

I am one of (hopefully) many :)

Not much. Just enough to have a table for my laptop & opened up Amiga. I
could bring a few issues of 80 Microcomputing aswell, which would be the
ones I have duplicates of. The duplicates aren't in particularly good
condition so it doesn't matter too much if they were to get accidentally
damaged :) All the other issues of 80 Microcomputing I have are pretty
much in mint condition and I wouldn't risk bringing to the event (is
that bad? Would anyone else feel the same way?).

I'd just bring my car.
