RISC World

Guildford 2003

RISCWorld

The 2003 Guildford show is now set to take place on the 18th of October at Guildford college, the same venue as last year. The show is organised by the Surrey and Sussex Acorn User Group (SASAUG). After the success of last years show RISCWorld is delighted to see the show coming back again. Tickets are priced at £5 each and are only available on the door (so you can't pre book) and the show is open from 10 in the morning to 4 in the evening.

For those that missed the show last year it was the first public appearance of the Iyonix from Castle Technology. As those who were there will testify the show was absolutely packed and it was difficult to move around with so many people.

How to get there

Guildford is easy to get to, it's quite close to London and the M25.

As you can see the college is quite easy to find and has ample parking. For those that wish to walk from the station here is a larger scale map.

Getting to the show on foot from the Railway station
Bear right as you leave the main entrance of Guildford Railway Station,
passing the bus stop and heading towards the one-way traffic system.
Turn left onto Bridge Street
walking along Bridge Street in the same direction as the traffic.
At the next junction, turn left onto Onslow Street
and continue until you come to the pedestrian crossing where you
can safely cross onto the right side of the street.
(This is before you get to the roundabout.)
Continue along Onslow Street until you get to the roundabout
where you must turn right into York Road.
Don't cross York Road at this point.

Walk along York Road until you can safely cross the road to the left side.
The safest way is to use the pedestrian subway a short distance along the road.
Turn left at the junction with Stoke Road.
Walk along Stoke road for about 650 meters (725 yards) and see Guildford College on your right.
Enter and go to Reception which is next to the hall.

This should take no more than 20 minutes.

Once inside the Guildford college grounds you will need to find the show entrance, and of course park your car unless you have arrived on foot.

Exhibitors

At present the list of exhibitors is still being finalised. Last year the stands sold out very quickly and quire a few potential exhibitors were disappointed. However you can expect to see all the RISC OS developers and no doubt many (if not all) of them will have some very special offers.
