Commodore Amiga Ireland event - Jan 21st 2017
« on: August 17, 2016, 06:18:57 PM »
The second Amiga Users Ireland meetup is this January 21st, 2017 in the  Prince of Wales Hotel. Bring your Amiga or come and see what we've  tricked ours out to do. Some interesting talks, competitions, gaming,  spot prizes and more. See attached and book early to avail of the early  price!

See some new Amiga hardware demo'd as well as some recent software for  our thirty year old computers like the new Dropbox client.

There will also be at least one stall/shop for Amiga hardware and  software if you want to do some retro shopping - maybe 4MB of RAM for  the misuss, sir?

Missed last year? See this: https://www.instagram.com/p/BH9fjD7jDQI/

This year: Larger space, more events, spot prizes and a very special  guest. Last year we had the untoppable David Pleasance and the surprise  guest(s) this year will pique everyone's interest.

There is another surprise already in the post but you will need to be  there on the day to find out what it is! I promise, you will not be  disappointed. Last year, people left with Amiga wifi cards, games,  badges and more.

Meet like minded folks and immerse yourself in the past and future of  Amiga lovliness. We have grown to over seventy members and had twenty  turn up on the day. Let's get as many together now and enjoy the new,  better, more organised (!) event. Test your knowledge (and your luck)  with the ten-minute table quiz.

Hotel discounts for those of you wanting to stay overnight.

Book before October to be able vote on what games and stands will be set  up on the day. Keep an eye for further anouncement towards the end of  the year

Is such event existed between 1998 to 2002?

Not by these organisers, no. Our last meeting was great fun and the aim is to make this one even better!

I'm glad we have another convert :=) This one is shaping up to be very interesting. We'll have Amiga podcasters, magazine authors, hardware and software developers there it seems :)

That's a pity kamelito. I hadn't thought of syncing with kids holidays (even though I have one in primary school myself). Would it have made a difference? It's something I'll keep in mind for next time.

Prowler, I just caught up on this thread now - I'm so sorry I missed you. I was here in September. The event is in Athlone but I'm living in Galway. Where was your work?
