We will try and run as many systems at the same time as possible, but we may have to double (or triple) up some systems to one TV due to space/table/tv limitations. If any systems are not available, there are emulators for most systems on the PCs, so please ask if you would like to play on any specific system or game.

FREEBIE BAG NEWS:
Everyone who attends RV will get fantastic blue bag of goodies. This includes an ID lanyard to wear at the event, a PC DVD which contains games, photos and music and a Retrovision keyring, as well as a few other surprise items.

RAFFLE NEWS:
Your host Vintage Matt will be selling tickets throughout Friday and Saturday until the raffle starts, or ask any of the RV Team if you would like to purchase raffle tickets. Prizes will be on display at the event and include retro gaming systems and the star prize is a fantastic brand new boxed Dingoo A320! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingoo)

NINTENDO DS NEWS:
We are planning on running a Tetris DS competition using the Nintendo DS. We currently have four Nintendo DS handhelds that will be there, but the game supports up to 7 players, using 8 handhelds with one NDS hosting the game (with only one game cartridge). If you have a Nintendo DS, please bring it along on Saturday fully charged, and your mains charger. As well as this I am sure we will also be playing some other multiplayer games during RV using the NDS.

COSPLAY NEWS:
As a bit of fun, some people who attend RV like to dress up. In the past we have had Phoenix Wright, Dr. Horrible, Beerman, The Space Giraffe, Sonic the Hedgehog and of course Markie Ming! This is not compulsory, but just a a bit of of fun and everyone is welcome to wear cosplay on the Saturday afternoon and evening. There are some great cosplay costumes on EBay for those who do not have one :-)

RV2010 TABLE OF CRAP(TM)
At last years RV2009 quite a few people expressed an interest in bringing a few bits along that they no longer needed, but they felt other people might find useful and thus the RV Table of Crap(TM) was born! Some people bought along a few small items such as PC Memory, Motherboards, Video DVDs, Music CDs and there was even a Phillips CDI Player and a few old XBox 360 games! Due to the popularity last year, we have decided to try this again this year. The only thing that we ask is that you do not bring to much crap along (small crap items are preferred), and only bring crap along which would benefit other people (Not broken non working crap!). Anything left over will either be donated to a charity shop, placed on freecycle or recycled, or you are free to take your unwanted crap back home with you! There will also be a money pot somewhere near the table of crap, and you are welcome to make a donation if you take something useful from the table. All moneys raised from the Table of Crap will be kept separate from the RV funds and will be donated to Cancer Research in memory of Richard Joseph via the website at http://www.justgiving.com/jonhare/

Thanks,
The RV2010 Team.

The closest event to you is the Retro Computer Museum event in Leicestershire at 80 Miles and 1 hour 36 mins.

Oxford is only 95 Miles and 2 Hours 35 Mins away from Thetford (taking the back roads). Considering some people come from as far as Scotland to these events and one bloke flew from America last year, its really not that far. I live in Chelmsford which is about the same distance (About 100 Miles and 2 hours). I am also going to Retro Reunited this weekend which around 200 Miles and 4 Hours away.

An option would be to find someone else that is going nearby to arrange car share and split fuel costs. There seem to be quite a few people who go to these events in the Peterborough Area.
