November 2018 Event

Adelaide Retro Computing Event
Time: 7:00pm
Date: Friday November 9, 2018
Location: Unley Civic Library Town Hall
181 Unley Road, Unley (corner Oxford Tce. & Unley Rd.)

We're very pleased to announce that Dr. Tom Tilley will be guest speaker at the event. For those unfamiliar with Tom, he's the man responsible for the giant Octopus Game & Watch that has been seen around Adelaide. And yes, Tom will be bringing in the Game & Watch on the night!

November’s event will be the last ‘BYO system’ event for 2018. In December we’ll be putting on a retro computing themed Quiz Night + BBQ + AGM. We’ve had a great year so far and we’re hoping to go out with a bang.

We want to see as many of you at our November event as possible. Remember, we love to see interesting and unique systems, so if you have something at the back of the shed that’s a little bit weird or unusual, dust it off and bring it in! This will be your last chance until February next year.

This will be a general ‘free-for-all’ event, meaning as long as its retro and computer-related we want to see it. If you don’t have a system to bring, that’s completely fine too. And if you’ve never been to one of our events, please come along!

There is a $4 door charge. Children under 12 are free.

We request that systems be dated 2001 or earlier. Please bring power boards and extension cables for your equipment. Tables and chairs are provided and we also have access to a kitchen and toilets. Tea and coffee will be available on the night.

Second hand sale tables for those wanting to sell retro systems and accessories will be available as usual.

The event starts at 7:00pm. For those exhibiting, please arrive by 6:30pm to set up.

There is parking on Oxford Terrace and in the shopping centre carpark opposite. If you have a lot of gear to lug in you can briefly park in the loading area behind the hall to unload your car. If you are not bringing in equipment please enter via the main library entrance on Oxford Terrace. A map can be found here.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
