It is just over a week until the return of The RISC OS London Show, back
at its usual venue, the St Giles Hotel in Feltham. We will be encouraging
the wearing of masks while in the show rooms, unless you have an
exemption, for both visitors and exhibitors and there will be hand
sanitising stations throughout the venue.

This is the first chance in almost two years to chat with developers,
hear the latest news, catch up with old friends, and maybe make some new
ones :-)

Some things to look out for:

- Speaking of making new friends, fresh faced Archive editor Gavin Smith
will be attending his first show. Do say hello, collect the latest issue
hot off the press, or sign up for a subscription.

- If you prefer your magazines more virtual, Drag n Drop will have the
latest PDF issues and CDs of books for sale.

- RISCOSbits will be showing off their range of FOURtress models, plus
some major new developments including a Pi4 LapDock and a top secret collaboration project that is of benefit to RISC OS and Linux users.

- RISC OS Developments will be on hand to answer questions about the
progress on the web browser, new network stack, and other projects.

- With the help of Michael Emerton, we will be running a software
preservation service - bring your old discs (BBC and Archimedes) and
we'll take an image of it while-u-wait.

- Due to ongoing shielding, R-Comp will not be attending the show this
year. However they will have a stand with some of their products for you
to play with. If the tech works, they may also be giving a theatre talk.

- The Midland User Group will be discussing a possible MUG virtual
midsummer show next year.

- Try out your robotic control skills on the Riscy Robots stand, and the slickest operator wins a robot!

- Cameron Cawley will be demonstrating the latest version of graphical adventure game player ScummVM.

- In a completely unsurprising move, AMCOG will have yet another new
game, The Haunted Tower Hotel, for you to play.

- RPCEmu will have demonstrations of a couple of advanced features that
are currently being worked on.

- The charity stand will be raising money for Combat Stress so bring
along your old Acorn hardware and software, and pick up some bargains,
all for a good cause.

Other useful info:

- There is a new exit from the train station at the front of platform 1,
that leads to a path under the road and up a ramp that comes out next to
the hotel, so it is no longer necessary to even cross a road to get to
the show :-)

- If planning to make a weekend of it and stay in the hotel, use the promo
code ROUGOL on the hotel website for discounted rates:

- The hotel bar will be open all day to keep you lubricated.

- For snacks during the day, there is an excellent new cafe across the
road called Porto Madeira, serving hot/cold sandwiches, all day full
English breakfast, and Portuguese meals.
