MAG Bash @ Coventry! - SPONSORED BY AMIGAKIT
Its been a long time since the last big Amiga gathering and a great deal has happened in that time. Big Bash 3 held by the 3CAG was fairly well attended and gave us all the opportunity to meet new people, discuss the future and pick up a bargain at the same time!
MAG exhibited at BB3, so we collectively thought it was time to return the favour. Plans are being made to hold the first (and possibly annual) MAG bash (for want of a better name, answers on postcards please!)
We have opened offers to exhibitors in all parts of the Amiga world. We are fully expecting the following types of exhibitors to attend
- User groups
- Amiga retailers
- Hardware companies
- Software companies
Pledge your allegiance
When we offer places to exhibitors the first question they ask is "How many people will you have attending?" and my response has always had to be a muted one. "loads!" doesn't really cut it as far as business is concerned.
So I developed the idea of the Pledge system. On the Pledge page you can add your name to the list of people who are definitely attending and show the exhibitors just how popular the show is going to be. THE MORE PEOPLE PLEDGE, THE MORE EXHIBITORS WILL ATTEND. If you want to make this show something worth while attending do the decent thing and stick your name on the list.
Confirmed Exhibitors:

Entrance fee :
The costs for setting up this event have already begun to mount and it would not be feasible to use personal or club funds to run it. So, we are asking for a small entrance fee from each attendee which hopefully will cover our costs.
- Children (under 18s) - 50p
- Adults - £3.00
- OAP - (65 and over) - £2.00
Buy your ticket now and save on your entrance fee. Nothing says "I'll be there with bells on" to potential exhibitors like splashing a bit of cash before the event! For £2 you can secure your entrance to the bash and hopefully persuade those big companies to attend.
