With no London Show this year, ROUGOL will instead be doing the next best thing and boldly going where no user group has gone before, by taking a trip into space. We will be gathering at the Science Museum to board a shuttle for the short flight to the Starship Azimuth, where our AI guide ALANN will be showing us the artefacts collected while studying planet Earth and its inhabitants mysterious interest in science fiction.

To join us, book your tickets for the 3pm takeoff (if that is full, go for 2.45 or 3.15, as we can meetup in the starship). Don’t forget to also book your museum entry ticket – you can arrive earlier to explore their many earthbound exhibits.

On our return to Earth (there is a 99.98% chance of a safe landing) we will pay a visit to see the golden BBC Micro and watch the video of Sophie Wilson and Hermann Hauser talking about the creation of the ARM processor.

We will then head off to a pub/restaurant for some much needed refreshments, venue TBC.

If you are planning on joining our expedition, please drop us an email or reply here so we have a rough idea of numbers, but do book your own tickets for the voyage of a lifetime!

Now confirmed that after our space adventure we will be heading to ROUGOL’s usual venue, the Duke of Sussex pub , for food, drinks, chat, and some retro RISC OS gaming, upstairs in the Petworth Room from 6.30pm. Do feel free to join us even if you can’t make it for the afternoon’s escapades.
