Hi guys,
Every couple of month there's a computer fair down here in Oxford (there's one saturday) and I was wondering if you guys will be there.
Any other places in the UK you will attend in the upcoming mont?

Cheers

"Computer fair" sounds quite small-scale.

I believe OCUK only tend to visit exhibitions when other manufacturers are showcasing new tech etc.

Never been there yet so I couldn't say but it does indeed look to be a small scale event.
You will be at EGX won't you?

I can only ever remember OCUK attending one computer fair at Trentham Gardens in the 90s.
At the time they couldn't compete with the other stalls.

Computer fairs bring back to many memories of my childhood. My dad bought me Outlaws at one before.

From the ones I went to (but this was a while back!) they were quite small scale. when OCUK are a large online store, it doesnt really make sense to sell at a fair.

They tend to go to Insomnia I believe.

Computer fair? That's where you go to get Commander Keen on floppy (fnar) from the shareware stand or maybe a 2X CD-ROM drive right?

100 x 3.5" floppy discs and a roll of a 1000 labels.
