[sydney]

Since there is likely to be an econet in Halifax, I was wondering if there were any multiplayer games that could be played over the econet. At work this morning I was daydreaming of this : http://www.stardot.org.uk/forums/viewto ... f=1&t=4506
Maybe I'll give this a go if I ever finish Super Breakout.

EDIT:

I just downloaded the source code from Ian Bell's website. Don't think I'll be giving this a go any time soon!

I guess we should get a copy of Cave up and running:

Thanks James. Just added you to the 'confirmed' list. Is that the one with the overheating psu? If so it might be worth asking Mark (retroclinic) to bring some caps with him.
Only 5 weeks to go and there are only 4 places left so anyone on the 'tentative' list who wants to confirm their attendance please let me know asap, if you all confirm then we are full!

[Arcadian]

Always good to have new faces at the meets!

See you next month, James!

[sydney]

Beebmaster has confirmed his place, only 3 left!

[BeebMaster]

Yes, looking forward to it, although it's a shame I'll miss the Friday night curry.

Save me an onion bhaji!

[sPhilMainwaring]

TMI !!!!

[BeebMaster]

OK, I've just managed to book one of the £29 rooms by following the hotel link in the first post so I'll be there on the Friday night as well and I'd like to attend the curry please !

[CMcDougall]

^ , that's another roll of toilet paper to the list

[Dave Footitt]

Nice one, really looking forward to this un

OK, after lots of arm twisting and the offer of a lift from Samwise, I'm booked in. I have to catch a train back on Saturday night but will be up Friday night with Samwise.
Curry ahoy!

[Arcadian]

Well with Jason and now my friend Mark Hardisty (a big beeb fan who organises the Games Britannia schools festivals) confirming, we are now FULL!

Result!!

[richardtoohey]

Have fun, and if attendees can take some pics and jot down key things that happen (and then post all of that!) that would be much appreciated.

But if you are all too busy having fun, that's understandable.

Nicely done Sydney and co with this fully booked meet up! Sorry I can't attend this one.

Have fun everyone and let us know what you got up to !

[Arcadian]

Here are name badges for the meet - which also contain user avatars (if you don't use an avatar on the forum then I picked an appropriate image!).

I'll bring lanyards and PVC wallets to Halifax - and I'll endeavour to get the badges printed too, but just in case I mess the printing up again (a la Wakefield 2013) then feel free to print your own using the attached files!

Sorry to hear that Alan, maybe next year.
One place still up for grabs!

[BeebMaster]

Just thinking about planning my journey...what time are the Friday crowd turning up?

I was thinking of getting there mid-afternoonish so I can have 16 cups of tea before the curry.

[sPhilMainwaring]

Love the name badges Dave

You've also put my avatar on Prime (Phil two Ls) though ... not that I mind but Prime might like his own
