SUMMARY:Master Maintenance Mini-Meetup : Wed July 29th 2026
DESCRIPTION:Master Maintenance Mini Meet-Up\nDate: Wednesday\, 29th July 2026\nTime: 9:00 AM – 1:30 PM \nA relaxed morning of retro computing\nFollowing the success of our recent I.T. Crowd (Scotland) day event\, we’re trying something a little different. \nRather than a full-day gathering\, this is an informal half-day workbench session where a small group of enthusiasts can get together to work on retro computing projects\, exchange ideas\, solve problems\, and simply enjoy spending time with fellow hobbyists. \nMy own project for the morning will be giving a BBC Master some well-deserved TLC—cleaning the case and keyboard and generally freshening it up—hence the title of the event! \nBring a Project\nAlthough the session is inspired by BBC Master maintenance\, all retro computing projects are welcome. \nWhether you’re: \n\nRestoring a favourite machine\nCleaning or repairing hardware\nInstalling upgrades\nExperimenting with software\nTroubleshooting an elusive fault\nOr simply want to show your latest retro project\n\n…you’ll be very welcome. \nSometimes the best conversations happen when everyone is gathered around a workbench. \nA More Informal Format\nThe emphasis is on collaborative tinkering\, sharing knowledge\, helping one another\, and enjoying a relaxed morning of retro computing. \nAround lunchtime we’ll head to Finnegans Café\, located within the Falkirk Business Hub\, for lunch and a catch-up before finishing around 1:30 pm. \nRegistration\nWe’ll be using the Hub’s free meeting table\, which comfortably accommodates around three people. \nSo the first two registrations will be free. \nIf additional members would like to attend\, extra workspaces are available from the Falkirk Business Hub for £10 (+VAT) per four-hour desk rental\, allowing the session to expand if required. \nPlease register here on this website to let us know you’re planning to attend.\nEveryone Welcome\nAs always\, this is a platform-agnostic gathering. \nWhether your interests are Acorn\, Sinclair\, Commodore\, Atari\, Amstrad\, Apple\, MSX\, Dragon\, Tatung Einstein—or almost any other classic computer—you’ll be among friends. \nVenue\nFalkirk Business Hub\n45 Vicar Street\nFalkirk\nFK1 1LL \nThe venue is just a short walk from Grahamston railway station and has excellent road links from the M9. Parking is available nearby\, and the Hub offers lift access\, accessible facilities\, and an excellent on-site café. \nWe hope this will become an occasional extra event between our regular I.T. Crowd (Scotland) day meetings—a chance to keep projects moving\, learn from one another\, and enjoy Scotland’s growing retro computing community.
