The Lass O'Gowrie pub, located near to the city centre, hosted our Sega8bit '08 and 2011 event and has also hosted other Retro Gaming events. Here are a few photos I took of the location back in 2008..
The door on the right goes through to the 'snug' which is wear the event was held last time, it may be in a room upstairs this year (further pictures may follow).
The Snug..
Artical with pictures from the 2008 event: www.smstributes.co.uk/view_page.asp?articleid=209
The Snug can hold up to about 12 people, I don't expect more than that to attend but if there is then we can always spill out abit and socialise in the main pub.
The Lass O'Gowrie has a great range of drinks and food avaialble. Also it is in walking distance to the shops incase you want to bring your lady friends
All information regarding maps, hotels, times, trains and actual event news will be placed in this 1st post. So keep checking back for more info and feel free to post ideas, comments, suggestions or questions on this thread.
