Easy to find, plenty of room for the user groups (mainly cos one group didnt
turn up :-/ ) I didnt see where the last one was so I cant really compare
what it was like. I prefare that building layout to the HAUG building
purely because it aint in the dark and secondly you aint going up and down
floors (Then again, there wasnt a bar on the second floor!!)
(8/10 No bar ;-) )
> Ease of Getting to it
So long as you dont go the wrong way arround the M25 to start with (Nick!;-)
) its a piece of cake to find, especially with the little sign post things
dotted around the place!
(8/10 - depends how you look at it! If I was driving from York I think I may
have been a bit knackered!)
> Publicity
Other than the general Amiga press there isnt really that much more you can
do to advertise it is there? It was mentioned in AmigActive a few times to
my knowledge and was on all the News websites (except for boingworld which
appears to have gone quiet over the last few weeks! :-(( )
Not sure how to rate this one cos its hard to know what ele could be done to
advertise a amiga show other than the way it was done. (8/10)
> Show Content
Ermm.. unfortunately this is one area I missed out on totally! I was too
busy talking to other people all the day (on and off) that I actually
forgot to go and have a good look around the place! I never saw the
AmigaOne System (board :-/) or the Games area (I got a split second glimpse
of sensi running iirc)
(Not sure, cant rate, although what I did see was great!)
> General comments Good or bad
Yeah, Ray - Get some more software for Kicksoft! I bought most of your stuff
at the altWoA show and didnt have enough cash at the time for anything else
(needed some petrol money to get back :-/) Still need to get Image Engineer
and ImageFX) Also was after Pagestream4 but I will have to put that on hold
for a while now due to lack of funds! :-/
I appreciate how much work must be involved getting a show like this
organised! it was bad enough just getting the GAG/Mediator stuff organised!
(infact I didnt actually get arround to doing anything until the show day!
:-/ Most of the work on the GAG/Medihelp table an be attributed to Nick,
Cheers (inc. the T-Shirts!))
Enjoyed meeting all those people who came and said hiya to me from the
mailing list and those who said thanks for the website. Also had a
reasonable ammount of interest in my EZTower Mediator conversion which was
nice.
Overall, looking forward to the next show and will have to consider mounting
wheels on the EZTower in order to get it there! ;-)
Hey, it was a amiga show and for me getting to meet other amiga users and
having a laugh.. gotta be 10/10 at the end of the day! :-)
Thanks!
