The UK motorway speedlimit is 70MPH, but the journey isn't even all motorway. I'd say really around 3.5 hours each way.

What about £5 off the registration price of MindSpace for every attendee? Done.

I like the way you think and MindSpace looks like a great program.

Why the MPH. I thought you guys in the UK used the metric system like everyone else bar the USA (who are still catching up when it comes to modern units ).

We are mostly metric, with a few exceptions.

These are the most common imperial units used in the UK:

* Road & journey distances (miles)
* Speed (miles per hour)
* Beer, milk & blood (pints)
* Weight of a person (stones and pounds) (most other weights are in kilos)
* Height of a peson (feet and inches)

For example, if you asked an english person their height and weight, 99% of us will use the measurements stated above, but we buy our groceries and most drinks in metric units etc.

Just a quick note for anyone thinking about going to the show, Virgin do a good price on single train tickets, they are only about £10-£15 each right to scunthorpe.
Its costing me only £24 from Lichfield.
(And thats on a total of 6 trains and takes 2 hours 35 there and 4:20 back)

Erm... SEAL (South Essex Amiga Link) is in the South East of England, as is ANT (Amiga North Thames) which is in NE London!

@Ryu

Thanks for all the efforts you've put in to organising AmiRevival and sorry to hear of your loss.

I really hope the show is able to go ahead and as Sicky has said, if it does SEAL will be there. Three of us plan to come up with the usual selection of Total Amigas including the very latest issue which is due to be published the week before the show!

We'll have special offers on back issues and we're also planning a surprise new Total Amiga-related product. I'm not sure at the moment if we'll have it ready in time so I won't reveal any more

Also on our table there will be at least one AmigaOne running the latest developer version of OS 4 and I'll have a new beta of AmiPodder, my podcast receiving software.

BTW... because of the drive (it's about 180 miles from Essex) we've booked a hotel for the Saturday night. Is anything planned for the evening after the show?

If not perhaps we could have an imprompu get-togther/meal. Is anyone else planning to stay?

Good luck,

Robert

It's 208.9 miles according to my mile-o-meter to the original SCAG meeting place, from my place in South Wales. Doesn't look like the other place is all that much further away. Took me about 3hours 45minutes most times.

Yeah, that got pointed out on Amiga.org too. Sorry guys - my geography is really bad! Should have written Kent (which was the original intention before I had a completely odd 5 minutes)

@ANT, SEAL
Sorry guys

@Mods
Please edit to read "the only user group in Kent".

Sorry again.

Good luck with the show. A little too far away for me.

I thought that might be the case, my geography isn't brilliant either

@ANT, SEAL Sorry guys

No problem, most people know where SEAL is located anyway (it is in our name after all, South Essex Amiga Link)

It's a pity to hear that you'll cancel it if you don't get more exhibitors & visitors. But I don't think you'll get many more visitors unless you get more exhibitors. The exhibitors seem very limited at the moment, although that's perhaps not surprising since there isn't really anything new to sell (how many shows is it possible to sell the old same stuff?).

Really, without new OS4 machines, there's almost no need for new software (everyone's already bought the OS3.x stuff they want), and I guess not much need for new hardware either. So if/until OS4 gets released with new hardware, I think we are stuck in a decline.

@all

I have updated the AmiRevival website to reflect the new exhibitors and additional confirmations - keep 'em coming guys, we can save this show!

I'd like to highlight the fact that Oliver Hannaford-Day will be exhibitng his latest coldfire prototype board at the show and that MindSpace version 1 will be released with discounts for every visitor.

Hope to see you all there.
