[Chester LUG] [ANN] New Group: Northwest Retro (nwRetro)

[Andrew Williams]

What is Northwest Retro?

Northwest Retro is a retro computing and gaming user group based in 
northwest england, Our aim is to 
bring together retro computing enthusasts and to give time and space 
for people to share knowledge, get 
hands on with old technology, and generally talk and discuss topics 
relating to retro computing.  

Whats the current plan?

At the moment we're in the early days of the group, so we've created a 
basic site and mailing list and within the next few weeks we'll plan  
our first meetup. We'll be looking at holding meetups in Liverpool
for the moment.

Why do we need another group?

At the moment, discussion about retro computing and gaming has 
remained within existing, local tech groups. The groups are usually 
related to another technological topic which some retro users maybe  
unfamiliar with or not interested in. With a new group with a aim to  
cover the area it will invite in more users who generally don't get 
involved in the local tech scene.

Do you have a website?

Yes, the website is online at nwretro.com[1], at the moment we've got 
a basic blog for announcements but we hope to expand this out a little 
in the future.

Where can I sign up?

Register on the general discussion mailing list[2], or if you don't 
want too many emails, sign up on the announcement list[3].

Please pass this announcement around to anyone who maybe interested.
