Less than 2 weeks to go, are we just going to decide on the day what games to play if we have a mini competition? Would be nice to play some new games we've never done before...
Hopefully more than 4 people will turn up to. Was anything posted on any other site (SMS Power etc) to help increase numbers?
I hope this yearly event isn't dying out just yet!

Numbers are looking a bit low, come on people!
In terms of games, I agree with Phil and think it would be cool to try some new games, whether it's for a competition or not. I'll get my thinking cap on.

I really want a Techmo World Cup '93 rematch, but I think a Sonic Chaos speed run would be fun too.
Fighting games are fun, maybe Virtua Fighter or Masters of Combat?
Micromachines should be there obviously too.

I won't know if I can make it until the day before. Our house is like a building site at the minute, anyone that spends any time around me is well and truly sick of kitchen this and kitchen that.
Anyone that has done a major remodel will know what I mean

I'd actually like to attend one of these at some point but unfortunately I've never had the time. I've only just read this thread so this year is a bit too short notice for me. I'll aim to go to next year's one if you'll have me.

Is there a Premier Inn nearby?

My Dad (Retrokevreto) is going and I'd love to come along but I see it's at a Pub and I'm 16, would I be ok to come?

There are 6 premier inns within walking distance, on weekends there are a lot of stag and hen parties though. I would normally find the best hotel within a particular budget, I live 10 miles outside of the centre but if there is a concert or something like that it is easier to stay in a hotel and there isn't much difference in cost between that and a taxi

I'm afraid I can't make it this year. Ahh that's a shame. Not looking like the best turnout this year but I'm sure we'll still have a great time.

Even if it's just 4 people and a couple of Master Systems it will be a fun day of gaming. I need to try and a get a little bit of practice in this week on some of the regular games. Any thoughts on having a tournament this year, albeit a short one? Is anyone other than me bringing anything? I only have 1 CRT. Obviously can bring a system and everdrive too.

I still haven't really thought about a tournament. I'll let someone else run it for a change!
Phil is supposed to be bringing at TV and so is Andy, but there's a chance he might not make it, so it would be good to have backup.

I don't mind making a tournament, worst case scenario I can share it on Google docs. Does that suit?
I am 95% certain I can make it, but my consoles are in storage due to the kitchen, I have no car this weekend so may end up coming empty handed. The TV isn't in storage but too big and heavy to take on the tram
