Sorry to hear that Dave. As long as someone’s there that knows the setup then we’re good. As I say, I’m still planning to be there in good time, just in case anyone arrives before me!daveejhitchins wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 6:19 am I'll be supervising the table setting-up this time - hurt my back - Dave H.

In my way now, looks like there has been a massive smash on the M40 at high wycombe, multiple fire engines so could be here a while

Solstice park, but now we have to go to a collection of a dozen or so craft outlets.
Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - NOW FULL, WAITLIST OPEN
Hey everyone! Things are getting well underway in Camberley. I’m getting a little worried about having enough tables tomorrow, so if you have one you can bring with you, please do so, and if you’re not bringing as much kit and are able to share a table, that would also be much appreciated.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day but we’ll figure it out!!

Daft question alert If I do manage to get there for a bit tomorrow, is it obvious where to go? Do you go through the pub? Sorry if this is answered somewhere already but I couldn't see for looking.

We’re in the Hampshire Suite which is on the left hand side of the building, behind the beer garden, as viewed from the front. There is an entrance through the restaurant or through the beer garden. You can’t miss us.

Just follow the sound of baaaaaar beeps!?
Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - FULLY BOOKED
Top tip — it's a lot easier to lug your kit via the beer garden.
As soon as you're through the entrance, nab the first parking spot you see — the beer garden/Hampshire Suite are on that side (West Wing) of the complex.

Good morning ABUGgers! It’s going to be a fun and busy day in Camberley. There are name badges and pin badges in the box on the bar. There are also snack, lots of snacks. Please eat the snacks!!
We’ve added an extra round table for no-kitters / laptop-only folks, please use that one and leave the long tables for kit.

I really enjoyed my morning at the meeting, everyone was so friendly and seeing what is being achieved with 40 year old technology was astounding. Thanks to all of those that were happy to talk me through their work, it was equal parts inspirational and intimidating to even think of trying to get close to what I saw today
Hope the rest of the weekend goes well, I will look forward to spending more time at the next event.
Cheers all

Although I only spoke to a few people when I popped in, what an impressively skilful group they seemed. And so much constructive activity going on all around.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - FULLY BOOKED
Thanks kieranhj for organising a great event
Although I could only make it on the Saturday, it was great we had sunny & nice warm weather, a big turnout and lots of retro-kit filling up all the tables along with familiar faces & having a catch up with lots of people. Thank you to those for their positive comments, feedback & interest on the Monster A3000, further tweaks & more mods next time…watch this space!
Have a lovely Sunday & enjoy the rest of the ABUG all.

Apologies people, I'm not feeling too good this morning (first phase of a cold I think) so am going to head home.
Hopefully see everyone at the next one.
Cheers.

Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - FULLY BOOKED
I think that'd be Elliot? Tagging him here. I'll ping him on Discord too, see if we can get a message to him sooner rather than later...
I've also sent an email. In the meantime, perhaps someone (hopefully from Oxfordshire) could kindly take them home?
Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - FULLY BOOKED
He's the last man standing again... Well sitting actually.
Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - FULLY BOOKED
Thanks everyone, especially Kieran for a great weekend. I did get the one tiny project done that I brought, but still didn't get to talk to everyone I wanted to

Phew! Back now (despite most of the M25 spent in 1st gear...). Thank you keiran for taking up the reins here, it was a great event and really enjoyed talking to everyone.
Re: BOOKING THREAD: ABUG South, 12-14 April, 2024 - FULLY BOOKED
Thanks all in particularly Kieran for the effort organising. Home and unpacked now. I really enjoyed it, progressed some things, learnt some things, some things broke and successfully created even more weird conflicts on my Beeb
See you again.
See you again.

i had an amazing time, thanks kieran for organising it and thanks to damian for very kindly giving me a mouse (coincidence as i was interested in getting one, but decided not worth the money), ian for giving me an econet kit(thank you so much to the kind soul who soldered it in for me (sorry, i didnt catch your name )) and Prime for sorting out collection of a slogger board!
it was great to meet everyone and had an amazing time!

That would be me that soldered it in for you
Glad I could help. I hope you do eventually get the chance to set up your own small network.
Great that you had a good time
Thanks also from me to Kieran for organising this event. Although I was unable to make it on Friday, the Saturday and Sunday went well. Roll on the next one...
