RCM Retro Gaming Event 2008 - post event
16th November 2008
This was our first event to promote the Retro Computer Museum and Wheat Free Tea Room.
The idea was to promote the fact that we are trying to open our dream to the public. We are looking for premises to create a real retro computer and console museum that people can visit and enjoy.
This, along with a Wheat Free Tea Room we think would do very well. Currently the premises are proving to be very difficult to find, this is down to the size of the premises we need and the sheer cost of all of it.
We may need to find a sponsor of some sort - If anybody out there would like to help us out with this that would be great.
Back to the event, we ended up having just over 70 people come and visit our open day which I feel personally was superb. It does prove that people love the retro scene. An important part of the Museum is our forums which you can find by clicking on the link above.
We have over 60 members who are all very friendly and helpful where they can be. Further to this we also have many people, including our members, who donate a load of hardware and software to us - this is so helpful and makes my life so much easier. I do hope this continues.
I am currently cataloguing another 40 or so systems to add to our existing 60 systems that are already online. Please do visit out forums and join up if you are not already a member.
Andy.
