Our biggest event to date . . . a weekender . . . May 2011

Wednesday, 21 July 2010 - 05:40pm

To let you all know in plenty of time . . . we are planning a full weekend event for May of next year.
The date(s) will be the weekend of the 7th and 8th of May - opening at 11.00am to 6.30pm (approx) on the Saturday and then opening again at 10.30am until 5.30pm on the Sunday.
We have done this to make it easier for our overseas visitors to make a long weekend of it.
Ticket prices etc and further details will be announced soon. Tickets for the May 2011 event will be on sale at our October event and then after that on the website as usual.
I hope this meets with the approval of our regulars too.

Regards
Andy, Linda and the other Administrators of RCM

About the Retro Computer Museum . . .

Saturday, 5 June 2010 - 09:07am

The aim of RCM is that we want to open a Retro Computer/Console Museum to the public, a very much hands on museum where people can play the machines that started the home computer/gaming explosion. The museum currently owns just over 150 different systems, along with some duplicates too which takes us to over 250 systems. We have a thriving forum online but unfortunately due to the economic climate this is how the museum will be stoppping for the time being, although we now have premises for a workshop and the storing of machines.

We rely on donations of systems and sometimes monetary donations along with ticket sales and merchandise to survive and of course our forum members support us any way they can. We are currently cataloging every machine, peripheral and games etc that we have and will be updating the website accordingly.

You can now also contact us on 07519 816 283 for any further information.
