Memofest is just a week away !
So now 2 questions so that I can try and work out an event plan.
Who has something that they want to show. I know some of you have said you're working on something, no need to say what it is if you want to keep it a surprise
What time to people expect to be here
Details can be sent to the memofest2017@btinternet.com e-mail address
NB if anyone's significant other is coming and needs a "native guide" to the area that can be arrange too.
Setting the Agenda
Re: Setting the Agenda
Well, I listed the stuff I plan to bring on the "what to do" thread.
None of it is Memotech related I'm afraid. Will you have space for the big Tandy?

Re: Setting the Agenda
The "computer room" benches are both about 7' long.
The "provisional" Memofest setup has 7 screens set up, one or 2 of which can be moved if necessary

Standby alert
“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year
Not as many MTXs as Dave!

Re: Setting the Agenda
Thanks to Martin & family for hospitality, a very substantial buffet and another very impressive cake.
I only wish I had been able to spend longer with all the assembled Memotechies.

Re: Setting the Agenda
It was a really good day. A lovely spread, not one but THREE cakes (one of which was the Memofest cake with its impressive decoration). There was some really interesting conversation (some of which - most! - I didn't follow too well, there being some proper experts in attendance) plus some really fascinating off topic stuff. Thanks to Mark and Martin for helping me get the machines back in my car. That Tandy is a heavy old beast... lots of patchy fog on the way home but made it safe n sound.
Very happy I came and thanks again to "Mein Host" Martin and his mum who made some really cracking cups of tea. That Victoria sponge was pretty special too!
