Wakefield 2000: The Acorn RISC OS Show

The Wakefield Acorn Computer (User) Group is very proud to announce that Wakefield 2000, its fifth annual show, will take place on Saturday & Sunday, 20th & 21st May 2000. The show is sponsored by Acorn User, Castle, Cerilica and RiscStation.

Once again the show will be held in the Thornes Park Athletics Stadium, Horbury Road, Wakefield. The venue is easy to reach both by car and by public transport, being about one mile from the M1 and half a mile from the main Wakefield railway station. Wakefield is a small but lively city with hotels and B&Bs at prices to suit all tastes. The night life in Westgate at weekends has to be experienced to be believed!

Wakefield 2000 is a truly friendly enthusiasts' show which is organised entirely by volunteers from WACG. It is well-established as a premier, if not the premier, exhibition for the Acorn/RISC OS community.

The Wakefield Acorn Computer Group was formed in 1983 and, in addition to being amongst the largest regional RISC OS user groups, has the proud record of never having missed a monthly meeting since its formation.

Opening times

Advance ticket holders may enter 15 minutes ahead of these times.

Directions

Click on the map to the right to see it at a larger size. The Webbington Hotel is situated just outside the hamlet of Loxton, around nine minutes' drive from the M5 motorway, making it very easy to reach from both the southwest of England and south Wales, via the Severn bridge. The hotel is 9 miles from Junction 22 on the M5: follow the A38 to Bristol, turning left at Lower Weare, just past 'The Lamb' public house. The hotel is signposted from here.

The nearest railway station is Weston-super-Mare. A free shuttle bus service will be operating every 30 minutes between the railway station's bus layby and the show venue, from 9:30am until 5:00pm. The first shuttle will leave the layby at 9:30am, and the last will leave the show at approximately 4:45pm.

Bristol airport is only 25 minutes' drive away from the hotel.

Free car parking, toilet facilities and access for the disabled are also available.

Two maps are available on this CD in Draw file format: a road map and a train route map.

Wakefield 2001: The Acorn RISC OS Show

The Wakefield Acorn Computer (User) Group announces its sixth annual show, sponsored by Acorn User, Castle Technology, Cerilica, Photodesk, R-Comp/RCI, RiscStation and Surftec. The show will take place on Saturday & Sunday, 19th & 20th May 2001. The show advert is shown to the right; click it to view a larger version in a new window. An even larger and more detailed version is also available. As usual, the show will be held in the Thornes Park Athletics Stadium, Horbury Road, Wakefield. Click on the map, below, to load it as a Draw file.

The venue features:

• Excellent connections by road and public transport;
• AA signposting from motorways and other main routes;
• Free car parking;
• Disabled access & parking;
• All-day catering service.

Getting to the venue

There is free on-site parking, including disabled parking, and AA signs marking routes to the show from the motorways and other main routes.

Most people travelling to the show by public transport from outside the area will arrive by rail, most likely at Wakefield Westgate station.

The station is a simple walk of approximately three quarters of a mile to the show venue, but, as an added service to visitors, for the first time this year we are providing a free Courtesy Minibus service between the station and the show at Thornes Park Athletics Stadium.

With the cooperation of Great North Eastern Railway, the bus will operate from the car park directly outside the station entrance.

Exact schedules will be publicised later. The aim will be to connect with GNER arrivals from London and Doncaster and Virgin Cross Countr arrivals from Birmingham and the southwest from around 9:30am onwards.

Later, when visitors are ready to go home, they can be dropped either at Westgate railway station or at the Wakefield bus/coach station. Again, the aim will be to connect with principal GNER and VXC services.

Opening times

On the Saturday, the show will declared open by The Mayor of Wakefield.

RISC OS 2001: The RISC OS Show of the Year

The RISC OS 2001 Show builds upon the huge success of the RISC OS 2000 Show, which was held at the Epsom Downs racecourse in Surrey in October 2000.

Due to an increase of more than 15% in the cost of hiring Epsom Downs for the 2001 show, which we believe to be unfair to prospective exhibitors, the organising committee has decided to move to a similar venue in the Reading area, bringing the following benefits over Epsom:

• Better road access (almost right off the M4/M329, close to the M25 and M3, readily accessible from the M40, and much closer to the M1 than before!)
• Better rail access (regular services from London Paddington and London Waterloo, accessible from Eurostar, easily accessible on West Coast Main Line, plus other services; direct services from both Heathrow and Gatwick)
• The main exhibition hall, and most or all of the other attractions, will be at ground level, allowing easier access and easier exhibitor unloading
• Better value refreshments!
• Possible other attractions connected with the nature of the venue...
• Reigate and Ban[ned-road-signs]stead Council not involved in any way...!

The RISC OS 2001 Show will of course feature all of the existing attractions and facilities of RISC OS 2000, including a minibus service from Reading's main railway station. More details of featured attractions, exhibitors, theatre timetables, recommended routes etc. will be available in due course.

As with RISC OS 2000, the RISC OS 2001 Show is organised by the ARM Club, ROUGOL and SASAUG, with help from the Association of Acorn User Groups. It aims to be the RISC OS show of the year, with support from RISC OS manufacturers, dealers, developers and users, and to create a truly unique and prestigious RISC OS event.

Midlands RISC OS Show 2001

The ARM Club will be holding the Midlands RISC OS Show on Saturday, 1st December 2001 at the National Motorcycle Museum, Coventry Road, Bickenhill, Solihull, near Birmingham, West Midlands.

The venue is just off junction 6 of the M42, at the junction of the M42 and the A45.

Midlands RISC OS Show 2003

CANCELLED

It is with great regret that the ARM Club is forced to announce the cancellation of the Midlands Show, which was to have been held on 29th November 2003.

Our normal venue, the National Motorcycle Museum, suffered a severe fire on 16th September, destroying several parts of the building and rendering many more parts unusable. The suite we had booked was damaged in the fire, and has been declared unsafe. Since the fire we have attempted to find alternative venues in the area, but unfortunately have found nothing suitable and available. Cancellation is not a decision that we have taken lightly, and we appreciate the disappointment to visitors and exhibitors alike.

At this stage we are planning to run the show again in 2004, by which time the Museum should be back in functioning order.

Wakefield 2004 RISC OS Computer Show

The Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club announces that its ninth annual show is at the planning stage. The show will take place on Saturday & Sunday, 15th & 16th May 2004.

A free minibus will be provided from Wakefield Westgate railway station (and possibly elsewhere) to the venue (courtesy of APDL and Virtual Acorn).

The show will feature a theatre with 100–120 seats, a prize draw, catering and free car parking facilities for up to 350 cars.
