Re: Anyone going to RetroFest 2025?
Andrew,
Thanks for flagging this up!
Looks like a good event - maybe room for an exhibitor with Psion Organiser II (Re-creations) and other modern Psion add-ons etc.. on show?!!
Its a long way from Cumbria, but I might make the effort to attend if I'm free.
I'd never heard of "Short Circuit" before, but a quick google shows that they are based in Sandgate, Kent, about 5 minute drive from where I used to live many years ago! Maybe I'll pop in to see them when I'm visiting family next time.
Thanks again for the heads up on this
Kind regards,
Paul

The plan is that I'm going along to exhibit some of my stuff...
They mention that they do other events so maybe there's one nearer to you?

I would like to go down, but it's a fair poke from the essex sunshine coast for me.

The actual event is in Swindon, so even further I think!
Short Circuit, the company running this, are based in Kent.
Both a long long way from Cumbria, but the retro event does sound good, especially if Andrew is going and exhibiting some of his work

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
Indeed, looks like an interesting event. Swindon is a big stretch for me as well. So, unfortunately won't be able to make it.
My best wishes for a successful event.

yup, its a good 4 hours or so from Clacton off peak, the annoying thing is that I get called out that far for work sometimes!PaulK wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 2:38 pmCarlos,Carlos wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 12:39 pm I would like to go down, but it's a fair poke from the essex sunshine coast for me.

No problem, just thought I'd publicise it, I usually see these things two weeks after they have ended...

I would like to go, but Swindon is too far unless I’m going down to London for a couple of days.

Thanks for the heads up Andrew. I'd love to come along see some of your Psion stuff at the Retrofest in Swindon. I've seen your YouTube videos but there's nothing like seeing them for real.
