SUMMARY:The IT Crowd (Scotland) Day Event : Saturday 4th July
DESCRIPTION:Retro Computing Day Event – Register Now! \nDate: Saturday\, July 4th\, 2026 Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM\n\nBring Your Hardware. Bring Your Projects.\nThe I.T. Crowd (Scotland) returns to the Falkirk Business Hub on Saturday 4th July for another full day of retro computing\, hardware demonstrations\, project sharing\, repairs\, upgrades\, and friendly discussion. \nUnlike some previous gatherings\, there is no formal theme this time. Instead\, we’d like to showcase what members of the community have been working on. If you’ve been restoring a machine\, developing software\, building hardware\, experimenting with networking\, or simply have an interesting system you’d like to demonstrate\, we’d love to see it. \nWhat Are You Bringing?\nOne of the most enjoyable aspects of these events is seeing what fellow enthusiasts have been tinkering with. \nWhen registering\, please consider letting us know what you plan to bring. Demonstrations\, works-in-progress\, unusual hardware\, software projects\, repairs\, upgrades\, and retro-inspired creations are all welcome. \nFinished projects are great — unfinished ones often lead to even better conversations. \nImportant Registration Note\nPayment for your participation in this event is done individually at the Falkirk Business Hub reception on the event day. \nPlease register here on this website to let us know you’re planning to attend\, then pay on the day at reception. \nThe normal price is £10 (+VAT) per 4 hours of desk rental in the co-working space\, but attendees receive a 10% discount (ask at the reception desk). \nYou may pay for the full day (09:00–17:00) or for a four-hour block. Most attendees choose the full day\, particularly if we break for lunch at the on-site café. \nWhat to Expect\n\nHardware Show & Tell\nBring along your classic machines and peripherals to display\, discuss\, compare\, and demonstrate.\nProject Demonstrations\nSee what other members have been creating\, restoring\, modifying\, programming\, or experimenting with.\nProjects in Progress\nSoftware experiments\, hardware modifications\, networking projects\, FPGA work\, music tools\, restorations\, and repairs — all are welcome.\nCollaborative Tinkering\nWork alongside fellow enthusiasts to troubleshoot problems\, exchange ideas\, and test new concepts.\nShared Knowledge & Experience\nSwap tips\, discoveries\, and hard-earned lessons with people who genuinely enjoy this era of computing.\nRepair & Upgrade Advice\nInformal help and guidance diagnosing faults\, sourcing parts\, and improving performance.\nRefreshments Included\nTea\, coffee\, and biscuits will be available throughout the day\, with lunch options at the on-site Finnegans Café.\n\nEveryone Welcome\nThis is an open\, platform-agnostic event.
