Organiser Chris Hughes has been in touch to confirm that date of the next Wakefield Show is 22nd April, 2017, as published in the latest issue of Archive Magazine – so mark that date in your diaries now, folks. No comment was added about the venue, so I would imagine it is safe to assume that it will be at the Cedar Court Hotel as usual. Such details will undoubtedly come when a more formal, and more detailed announcement is made – if there is one thing that can be…

London Show 2016 looms
Feltham’s calling to the faraway towns, come along and see the best OS around! It is now just one week until I’ll be heading home from Feltham (and will have already long since reached home, looking at the time) – which means it’s just five days until I’ll be heading in the direction of Feltham. The day between those two journeys, of course, is when I’ll be in Feltham, exhibiting at this year’s London Show, organised by the RISC OS User Group of London – and here’s why you, the…

Right, I’ve been up to Wakefield, had a cup of tea and a little walk, and now it’s… er, June!? The annual trip to the North for RISC OS users – the Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Computer Show – took place this year on 16th April, at the Cedar Court Hotel, Denby Dale, near Wakefield – the venue at which it originally started in 1996 before setting off for pastures new, and to where it returned some years ago and has remained ever since.
Read MoreWakefield 2016: A little over two weeks away
One does not simply walk into Mordor Wakefield. It’s better to go by car or train. This year’s Wakefield Show will be taking place on 16th April, which is now just over two weeks away. The show will take place in the combined Cypress, Hawthorne and Oak Suites of its usual venue, the rather nice – and very easy to find – Cedar Court Hotel, which is a stone’s throw from junction 39 of the M1, so readily accessible by car.
Read MoreShow report: Southwest 2016
If I’d finished this two days ago, there might have been a 28 Days Later movie reference here! Oh wait, there still is! This year’s Southwest Show took place on 27th February, and while this year it attracted fewer paying customers through the door than last year (more on that later) there was still a positive vibe, and people – both visitors and exhibitors – seem to have enjoyed the day. So much so that, with next year’s date already set, all but two of this year’s exhibitors have already…

#ROSW2016 is where you want to be this Saturday! For anyone living at the event horizon of a black hole, and who is therefore less aware of the passage of time than most, the Southwest Show – the first show of 2016 – will be taking place in just a few days time, on Saturday, 27th February.

You read it here first, folks – unless you’re observant! The Wakefield Show – billed as the North’s Premier RISC OS Show – is set to go ahead again in 2016, with the date now confirmed for what will be the 21st show to be arranged by the Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club.
Read MoreShow report: London 2015
The who and the what. The only why is why weren’t you there? The 2015 RISC OS London Show took place on 24th October, 2015 – and while the number of visitors was (I believe) just shy of 110, there were plenty of RISC OS users unable to attend. So what did they miss?
