GENERAL > HARDWARE/SYSTEMS DISCUSSION
Our MUSEUM . . .
tte:
have you tryed contacting the local papers, or local Tv and radio, tell them what your aiming to do, might get some secret millionare donate or back you, you just never know,, I love the idea of the wheat free tea room aswell. Write to business people like Richard Branson let them know what your doing, I wonder if there are any celebrities that are into older computers who might donate or put their name to your idea,, just a few different ideas that come to mind :)
AndyRCM:
Local papers and tv and radio are all being contact for our next event . . . Richard Branson, Alan Sugar etc are two people whom I would love to talk to!
Thanks for your input though matey - always good to hear other peoples thoughts on this - any ideas are cool, between us all we will find the answer!

You could try having weekly themes in the Cafe. Week 1 Amstrad/Spectrum, Week 2 C64/128 + Amiga and week 3 Atari consoles + STs. That way you don't really need a large Cafe. Or you can change it monthly.
I would like to Speak to Mr Sugar too.

It really is such a shame your stuggeling so much. I can see why possible investors may be weary as you said it may take a long time if at all for them to make a return on there investment. So the dragons den suggestion goes straight out the window on that note. Hopefully with the weekend event next year it may attract more people to come along and in turn make more revenue for you guys. I think the gaming tournaments were a really cool idea but compared to the cost of buying a premises, I know it wouldn't cover the cost of a door let a alone a building to go with it! I guess the more active we all are about getting more people interested in the rcm the better it will become. Have you ever considered doing a few more videos for your youtube channel to raise more awareness etc? You could almost certainly do some cracking reviews on things, hopefully racking up enough views to get a youtube partnership but also to get the word out a lot more.Granted I know putting a proffesional style video together can take time but the end result I'm sure would be brilliant.I'm just spitballing here of course and I have really no idea how to raise such a huge investment, but just a few ideas at least.
