New London RISC OS show to be held in October

More details to follow. It is understood this is to replace the annual South East RISC OS show, which is usually held in Guildford but will not take place this year as the venue that hosts the event is unavailable. Freeware developers are invited to exhibit their work for free at the London show. To book a space or for more information, email the organisers.

Nice to see the show back in London. Looks like it will be good for transport links, and cheaper hotel room prices than Wakefield, if you book in advance! sa110 on 1/6/09 1:08PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Thankyou epistaxsis on 1/6/09 7:20PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

OK - I see it's on the 3rd October 2009. Oh goodie - I can make that date. It's excellent news that ROUGOL have stepped in with a replacement show. My understanding, from John Sawyer, was that the Guildford venue had become too expensive. The show last year also came at the same time as the announcement that Castle would not be produsing an Iyonix II which, if you are organising a show, is not a helpful backdrop. I wish the organisers luck in finding a reasonably priced but accessible venue. I like the fact that they are calling it the *LONDON* show. A bit of good marketing there, I thought.

(winking) Knowing Londoners, we should be glad it isn't called the "British Show" or "Whole of UK show" cos you know there's just empty space north of the watford gap... (smile) arawnsley on 1/6/09 12:19PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

I know a lot of mancunians who would make that joke; in fact I heard a similar one just yesterday. It's bizarre; perhaps they feel persecuted where there is no persecution.

To let londoners know that there is a world out there! sa110 on 1/6/09 1:09PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] yup - outside of zone 6 is pure David Attenborough... epistaxsis on 1/6/09 7:19PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Ways to determine the start and end of North and South in England: 1. Ask a Northerner where the South starts, and a Southerner where the North starts. The overlap is the Midlands 2. Ask a Midlander (o: (born in Nottingham, lived in Manchester, now in Oxfordshire, trying to convince people they're in the South) jymbob on 3/6/09 1:31PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] South : Starts at about the line from Liverpool to Sheffield!

To my friends and RISC OS owners on Orkney, we're all land-lubbin southerners. But somehow I doubt they'll make it to the show. Mind you, I remember them at the first Epsom show... arawnsley on 17/6/09 5:17PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Well we have strived to make sure the show is easy to get to from far flung corners as you can see from the website epistaxsis on 22/6/09 8:20PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Whoot! I am on the Exhibitors List :@D em2ac on 7/8/09 9:18AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

My WSP are in Reykjavik, from where everywhere else is the South. I have learned not to grumble about the weather with them. It's nice to see photos of the locality popping up: The explanatory view from the railway station is very helpful. Will there be banners/posters available for download? Or maybe just a Draw version of the roundel and preferred fontname? Anon on 11/8/09 11:19AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]
