General Announcements about LAG and it’s members

7th, October LAG 80!

Holy moly where does the time fly? It doesn’t seem that long since we were all sat around in Welton Hall messing around with our Amiga’s. And here we are again and it’s not just ANY meet, but LAG 80!!! How did that happen? Back when I joined the club in early 2006, I don’t think I ever envisioned I would be here in 2023 enjoying my passion for Amiga and retro computers. I feel genuinely blessed for all the years I’ve been part of Lincolnshire Amiga Group, the friendships forged. When I took over from Michael “Rockape” as club chairman, it wasn’t long after that the world was plunged in to a global pandemic. Not exactly the best start to my tenure in the big seat, but here we are nearly 4 years later and honestly it’s been a privilege.

Attendance numbers are up, so much so, that we might have to consider relocating to a larger room if the current trend keeps up. Given we are still recovering from the effects of the pandemic, I have to say I’m more than pleased with where the club is right now and that is in no small measure thanks to it’s members. If it wasn’t for you guys, there wouldn’t be LAG. So I hope you’ll join me this Saturday for a day of self indulging Amiga geekery.

1st, April – LAG 77

Boy does time fly when you’re taking apart Amiga’s and dealing with leaky caps! So after our stonking first meet of 2023, how can we possibly top it? Red arrows signing the club name in the sky? Give away a Blizzard 1260? (Ed: That’s not really happening, they’re too damned expensive these days!!)

I hope you all will join us for LAG #77, we have many new faces since our meet in January and enthusiasm in Amiga’s and Commodore computers seems to be on a high. So why not blow the dust of those floppies, dig the A1200 out from under the bed and add “Playing Amiga” to the calendar under 1st of April.

LAG 74 – Saturday 1 October

The Lincolnshire Amiga group shall be holding its fourth meeting of 2022 and we welcome you to join us for a day of computers, gaming, tea, coffee, biscuits, obscure 80s references and questionable humour. The order in which you experience these things is entirely optional! If you only have an Atari ST or Super Nintendo, that’s fine, bring it along. Many LAG members are into other platforms, aside from the Amiga, so it’s not uncommon to find an old Amstrad CPC or Macintosh at one of our meets.

As always, we hope LAG 74 will continue the tradition and see the likes of Amiga’s, Spectrums, C64’s, Amstrads and Raspberry Pi’s in attendance.

The meeting shall begin at 12:PM and end at 5:PM.

LAG 19 Postponed

Hi all. Just a quick note to say LAG 19 has been postponed from it’s original January 8th 2011 slot. We are moving it further into the year in an effort to avoid the currrent weather conditions which will likely prevent members from travelling.

The situation is being reviewed and a new date will be announced as soon as we decide what to do.

Thanks.
