So I've now confirmed a date with the venue. Please let me know if you plan on attending and whether you can bring any equipment. TVs are usually the main thing we have trouble getting enough of.

We can temporarily park outside the venue to drop stuff off but you'll need to find some long-term parking. There's plenty of car parks about, so just have a Google. |

Hello ! This is my first post in this forum, but I have been in the SMSPower! forums for about a year, where my main contribution has been my homebrew competition entry: www.smspower.org/forums/18948-CodingCompetition2022Tetris4GGByArmixer24I am in the Manchester area around that date, so I will join in too ! I'll bring my Game Gear with the latest build of my homebrew on it. I also own a gear to gear cable, which I can take with me as well, if anyone with another Game Gear wants to play Columns or something ! |

I'm hopeful. I'm out of the country from the 8th-13th, and I have to go to London toward the end of the month, but I don't think that's until the 23rd, so I should be good! The only possible spanner in the works is that my sister in law is due to have a baby around that week too, but I'll just tell her to hold on a bit longer so that I can make it along. 🤣 |

Let me know if you want me to bring anything. Perhaps the Analogue Mega SG and an LED TV just for some variety to the set ups

I’ll be driving up but I don’t have much to bring apart from an Everdrive. If anyone’s travelling up from approximately London then I might be able to offer a lift.

My oldest son had COVID a few days ago, and just in the past hour my youngest has now also tested positive. So he'll be housebound for a few days, and likely going to derail everything for me over the weekend. 😢 |
