ROUGOL are pleased to be organising the RISC OS London Show again this year, at its regular venue of the St Giles Hotel in Feltham. There should be some exciting new/updated products and announcements at the show, and a full set of theatre presentations, so keep an eye on the show website over the coming weeks for the latest news.

The charity stand will be raising money for Combat Stress so bring along your old Acorn hardware and software, and pick up some bargains, all for a good cause.

The venue is right next to Feltham train and bus station, with direct links to Heathrow, so is easy to reach by public transport.

For anyone planning to stay at the hotel, we have arranged a special reduced rate including breakfast. Enter the code ROUGOL when booking through the hotel website:

Just nearly spat out an entire cup of tea at seeing Wolfenstein running on a Master. I mean… damn!

Also kind of cool to see AmCog actually has scale models of the alien ships. 3D printed?

Many thanks to everyone who came along to visit the London Show yesterday, to the many exhibitors (I’m sure it seems like we’re getting more every year!) and last but definitely not least, the organisers – great work! It has been fantastic to meet people who are new to the community as well as welcome back friends from previous shows. See you all next year at the next show…

Well, I definitely enjoyed coming along! I’ll see you all at the SouthWest Show most likely :-)

I also appreciate all the help I’ve had on this forum, there is no way I’d be as far along as I am without it.

And only noticing I hadn’t posted this some ten days after hitting ‘publish’, here’s the RISCOSitory show report.

(I’m gradually working my way through the unread forum posts in my RSS feed in order to put together a snippets post to round off the year before looking at the next awards poll.)

Thank you Vince, and compliments of the season to you and all our other readers!

Your post was a breath of sunshine in a rather sparse time for RISC OS postings!
