Careful, Darren.....
The show is in Walsall, which is NOT Birmingham, more like the Black Country.
We get touchy over boundaries in the Midlands!
Also, never make the mistake of confusing inhabitants of St Helens with the
inhabitants of Liverpool. They may be geographically close, but not the same.
(As a Mr. Dave Whitmore may inform you.)
At the risk of repetition, here's the original 'advert', taken from an e-mail
some weeks back:
---------------------------
Event: The 1999 UK 8-bit Convention UK8
Where: The Saddlers Club, Walsall, Nr Birmingham, England
Date: Sunday, September 26th 1999
Times: 9.30 - 5 (bar open from 12 3.30)
Cost: 2 per person admission (by ticket only).
Tables bookable (*probably* up to 40/50 available): 5 each. Priority
will be given in the following order; (1) clubs and magazines (2) commercial
suppliers/supporters (3) individuals.
Any profit left over at the end will be put back into another event next
year. Nobody is getting a wage out of it!
Awards will be made to the best exhibitors in various categories on the day.
We expect it to be a sell-out, but send *no* money yet, bookings will open
at the end of March (NB: this is *not* an April Fool!)
Food facilities available: various, including a McDonalds, are nearby. Or
bring your own food. There will be a comfy sit-down and chat area.
For a further information as it becomes available e-mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or write, enclosing an A4 stamped addressed
envelope, to Brian Watson, Harrowden, 39, High Street, Sutton, ELY, Cambs
CB6 2RA, England.
It would be appreciated if this information could be passed to any user
groups, fanzine editors or commercial supporters who might be interested in
attending.
