I can happily arrange for a few of us to spend the night there and have a look, it's a hotel too!
So, 5 or 6 of us... let me know some dates and we'll go look see.

and in November we are having a LLamasoft mini RV... you are all welcome to come along.

In all honesty, this place is worth a look. Size is around the same as Gossips but has the added bonus of having a balcony. Lots of cheap hotels all within wandering distance too.

its a FREE VENUE! no charge!

AND when BIT finishes we just carry on playing games all night... and I mean all night too... we usually go to be around 5am.

AND all my RV stock lives there so.... just a thought....

RV ALL WEEKEND

Daytime: RV
Nighttime: BIT

I'm going to be there on Oct 1,2,3 ... come on down and check it out!

Also, Bristol airpport is a good link to europe...

2006 seems good to me too. I can use RV5 and RV6 to assist in promotion of the next BIT, this along with a good imapct from my RGW site should see things heading in the correct direction. One thing I will say is lets have it in the evening. The afternoon gig just felt a tad odd and a venue in order ...

Did ANYONE get a piccies of me in Ming make-up? just one piccies needed...

COUNT ME IN! I'M THERE....

Cool... and for Chris, if you can design a button that can be carried on websites directly linking to a money support thread that would be fab. If may be pennies, it may be pounds but if I carry it on the RGW site it will at the very least produce somthing.

Matrix, can you do me a logo... the opne you use at the bottom of your posts without dates on? I can secure that then as a perminant fixture on the RGW and RV sites. This will remind folk and when we have dates we can adjust as required.
mark@retrovision.org.uk is the e.

This is a goer, we can do this! I think that it is important to support both BIT and Retro Games World, not just because I run it. Also, I dont need financial backing for my site but if we can send folk via RGW that would be great. I want to benifit ALL reto releated sites. As far as BIT is concerne...

I'll take that as a YES then Chris, we are having another BIT. Good! ok, now... lets sort the money out. My suggestions is the membership idea. £5 per month. We need somebody Chris's end to hold the account and look after the fund. Over to you on this one Chris.

£50 would then be less than a fiver a month - im sure EVERYONE can do that

true ...

£50 is a lot... but in effect will start idea's ... I dont know exactly how to do things. Running Retrovision is very different to BIT.

My bottom line is "Keep Retro Alive" and "LIVE" ... how we do this is a matter of trying...

My £50 is ready here then... Mr Abbott? Your thoughts?
