announcements [3]

The other day, RISCOS Ltd. [4] announced that details of the RISC OS [5] Christmas Roadshow have now been finalised. This is a chance for any last minute RISC OS bargains before Christmas, as well as being able to meet and talk in person with some of the various dealers, for those who've been unable to attend other shows throughout the year.

Of particular note, is that although two of the days are week days, they have been scheduled for late afternoon - early evening to allow those people who are busy during the working day to still attend in the evening.
The dates and Venues are as follows:

Thursday 15th December
The Bassett Suite
West Bromwich Albion Football Club
The Hawthorns

The opening time will be from 4.00 p.m - 8.00 p.m

Friday 16th December

Saturday 17th December

HA1 2EF

The opening time will be 11.00 a.m - 3.00 p.m

RISCOS Ltd. [6] have also confirmed that there will be no admission charges for the visiting public and I hope that this should encourage those, whom may have not wanted to pay at other shows for something which they may have only been slightly interested in, possibly having left the RISC OS [7] scene in the past; or those who use Windows PCs but may have just a passing curiosity in RISC OS from things they've heard about in the past. This is a free opportunity for people to come and see what RISC OS is about

At the time of the press release the other day, RISCOS Ltd. listed the companies they expected to attend at least one of the venues as:

RISCOS Ltd [8]
Advantage 6 [9] / STD [10]
CJE Micros [11]
Archive Publications [12]
Icon Technology [13]
Mathemagical Software
Spellings
Qercus [14]
R-Comp [15]
Virtual Acorn [16]

The above list is not an exhaustive list, nor is it confirmation at this time that the above companies have booked. Details of attendees will no doubt be confirmed nearer the time.

Expect RISCOS Ltd. to post further details on their website at http://www.riscos.com/ [17]
RISCOS Ltd. are to be congratulated in organising this Roadshow in a fairly short period of time and lets hope it is a success. Please show your support for this initiative if you can attend.
