There is an update on the alt-woa 2003 site, detailing the new venue.

Nice building, Shame about the pub though :-(
Why cant anyone do a show in the Midlands, The Motorcycle museum has a massive selection of halls where a computer show (Sort of thing) is held twice a week so it cant be to expensive...
Oh if I just had the time ;-)
Anyhow looks great, I will be there with bells on.
-
According this message (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amigactive/message/51441) there will be no Show at all if OS4 does not arrive in time. Of course I have no way of checking authenticy of posting etc etc but .. :-(

Taken from the website.....
Whether Alt-WoA 2003 takes place at all is currently being discussed.
Amiga and Hyperion have already agreed to attend and we only require an affirmative from Eyetech to start the ball rolling.
I`m sure that Eyetech will attend, so hopefully it will go ahead.
I think that the alt-woa shows are quite an important event in recent years and wouldn`t want to think there wouldn`t be one.
-
I did suggest them to post more info here and update their web page about these decision factors so people can see IF it'll happen or not.
-
I really hope the show will become reality again this year.
I had hoped to go there last year but didn't have the time. If I plan things a bit better this time it should be possible.
Would be nice to go to a real Amiga show again after all these years.
It's been quite some years since we had a decent show in Denmark!
-
I hope it does go on. I went to WOA-SE and had a great time! It was the first time I had ever been to an amiga show (I know the shame! ). I got there (with Nybbler) and we both looked at the main hall and kinda thought, how the hell are we going to strech this out to 5 hours, which was when I had told my lift to pick us up, but we had nothing to worry about, between talking to everyone, listening to the presentations and eating (and drinking ;-)) there was plenty! Plus we both ordered our A1's, which I will feel the financial pinch soon! :lol:
I would love to go up to this one, maybe find a place to stay over night, make a weekend out of it. It is a 4 hour drive from where I live!
Please please make it happen, I'll even buy the organisers a :pint: :-)
-
That place is sadly 10-15mins drive from here :-( which is a shame as my friend will ring like crazy asking for a lift (if it does go ahead)
Damn you :-P .
-
I have only been to one show, WOA 1994 wembley...great show, met up with some mates had a few drinks, bought some stuff, great!
But unfortunately the travelling was a nightmare, Glasgow - London (Euston) by train, then crushed in the underground....after the show, returned to Euston and had to sit around for a few hours for my train home. It was a LOOOONG day!
:-D

@L8-X
It was a LOOOONG day!
Thant is why I am looking at finding a place to stay if I do go! :-)

Uh.. In here.. closest shows have allways been 300km away from where I live. And some organizers have to travel 1200km (2*600) with their computers and other equipment... I wonder how they manage from year to year..
(EDIT)
I almost forgot the most important..
They (alt woa team) stil think of it. It's a difficult decision and I understand that cause I have been on organizing meetings in this country. So if you want to be there, please announce your interest to organizers...
-
I will hopefully go this year. I`ve only ever been to the London/ Essex ones. Though these ones are much closer to me.

"For those of us who like bacon butties, burgers and sandwiches, arrangements have been made with a high-class mobile cuisine supplier to park outside the gates!"
Well thats me sorted then :-) just a pity there will be no drinkies there, how am I sposed to get my usual free pints from people :pint: :-D
-
@Nick I went to alt-WoA in 2001 by bus, its not that hard really and I doubt the location shift will make it that much more complicated. I know I will DEFFINATLY be attending, just someone tell me when so I can get saving my pennies :-)
-
(edited)
Just realised we where talking WOA (and not WOASE). Guess it's a bit to far from stansted airport for me then :-(
DAMN! I really wanted to go there and flight tickets (Esbjerg - Stansted 25.04) where only 84 dkr :-(
-
Isn't WOA held at " Uddersfield"?
If it is then you could land at Yeadon Airfield, Troels. then catch the bus.

I checked that out last night but could'nt find a a flight connecting leeds bradford airport to the airport he wanted to fly from...
Edit: Why do I always forget the "nt" on the end of could'nt, damnit :-)
-
Hi Editor
Your effort is appreciated but honestly I think that might be a bit to much trouble (and a few £ too much) for an Amiga show :-)
Will see if I can go to WOASE instead when it's time for that.
Feel pretty stupid, I never realised that you guys had 2 shows. Thought WOA was the same as WOASE and allways held near London. You lucky bastards;-)
-
Don't feel bad, Troels ... Us "Brits" don't have a lot to shout about !!
Think of the Aussies .... Their local show can be vast distances..
ie: For someone like Vortexau to go to a show in, say sydney... is around 960Km's.
Thats a nice "Day trip" out !! :-o
-
Well we Europeans are not quite used to distances like that :-)
Last show I went to was the A1 presentation in Gothenborg and that was only 280km from where I live in Denmark, we where there in no time:-)
We used to have some great shows here in DK aswell. Back in (?)89'-90' we had some Amiga shows in Copenhagen which was attended by 1000's of people.
Maybe I should see if anybody would be interested in helping with arranging somthing when A1 and OS4 is out. Even if there would only be a 75-200 people attending it could be a nice presentaion of the A1 to these people.
-
So if you want to be there, please announce your interest to organizers.
My only interest and a friends is to see OS4, without that the show could be next door and i still would not attend.
