Charakade UK - Charity Arcade Event.

[Hammy]

Hi, me and a friend are setting up an arcade 'event/meeting' in aid of charity (http://zoes-place.org.uk/)

there should be about 30 arcade machines to play, including things such as galaxians, outrun, time crisis, playchoice, plenty of jamma cabs etc. from golden age to modern there should be plenty of mixture to suit everyones arcade tastes.

Address of the venue

The Bull
Old Chester Road
Great Sutton
Ellesmere Port
Cheshire

Times (for the general public)
Saturday 7th oct 12.00 (noon) to 12.00 (midnight)
Sunday 8th oct 12.00 (noon) to 4pm

cost of entry is £3 per day. all arcade machines are on free play all day.

there will be raffles and stuff (virtual boy being put up as a prize) and plenty of beer :)

all profit goes to charity (as usual for charity events) so it's not like you've got an excuse not to come if you can ;)

who's up for it!?

Hi there

I'll be there (if at all possible - I'm 99% sure to make it). I'm hoping to purchase an arcade machine myself soon, so it will be nice to try a few out :)

Would it be OK to bring along some flyers for an event I'm co-organising - Eurocon 2006? There is a thread on this forum about it if you want to know more, our website is at www.sincil.co.uk/eurocon2006

Good luck with organising your event (I know how much hard work this involves) - look forward to being there.

Cheers
Jon

updated machines list.

getting quite a struggle getting stuff ready, so far i've fixed time crisis and power drift, but a monitor has popped in one of my jamma cabs ;) that should be sorted well in the time limit before the show!

also, i'll have clear info if the lethel enforcers2/chequred flag will be going when they turn up sometime in the next week or so.
