Blast fomr the past - Jodrell Bank Meetup

[carran]

I anyone around who attended the Jodrell Bank meetup where X2 was demoed?

[Redvers Ganderpoke]

Yes, I was there and at the meal afterwards at the pub at Middlwewich. (I went under Iron Orchid then.)

[carran]

I couldn't make the meal but I did enjoy the day

I do remember your old handle though

[Steel]

Yeah, I was there (sorry, just seen this thread as I don't frequent the forums that often nowadays).

[Redvers Ganderpoke]

There was a report somewhere with pictures (@steel I think you took these with the help of your daughter?). I think it was on Commander Jamieson's website for a while. I'm sure it was archived somewhere else but I can't remember where.

Yeah link in the news here

But the links to the pics are dead.

I possibly have the pics somewhere, will check. I still have all the X2 press stuff and artwork etc, which is "historically interesting"

It was 20th October 2001 at Jodrell Bank (and shortly after we did one at Egosoft in Germany).

So in a couple of weeks it will be 20 years ago! Maybe I should dig out a pack of the top trump cards as a giveaway
