I don't think we have any other LAG members here, but if its of any interest to anyone, the Lincs Amiga Group is celebrating its 10th anniversary this coming Saturday :boing:.

We've booked the larger room next door to the room we usually have, and we have AmigaKit attending, as well as Trevor Dickinson and David Pleasance.

See http://lincsamiga.org.uk for details.

Should be fun :amiga:.

Can you take some pictures of the event for us? Is there an official invitation page or advert? I can post it over on AmiBay.

I will take some pictures.

I think some of the more local people are bringing some nice Amiga setups, and there will hopefully be a projector with demos.

http://lincsamiga.org.uk/ is the official page. Someone (I forget who) made a JPG banner with the same information as the site, but I misplaced it. I think Michael aka Rockape was going to try and put something in the Lincolnshire Echo and in some local shops.

Everyone had a good time at the LAG Bash. About 23 attended, and there was a nice selection of machines to see and play with, including Amigas as well as other stuff.

I'll attach a few photos. I wasn't sure whether to take my flashgun with me, but I did, and I'm pleased that I did as the photos taken with the flashgun came out much better than the one's without it.

Everyone in the hall:

It was well organised, and was well promoted on the various Amiga sites, and among existing LAG members. We had quite a few people travel from quite far afield. The organiser (Rockape) was hoping there might have been 50 or so people turn up, but I though that was a bit too enthusiastic.

Trevor Dickinson was certainly an interesting person to meet.
