We had a signing session during our gathering. First was 'ACORN: a world in pixels' ( 2nd edition ). Andrew wrote the article about Paul Proctor's work on the BBC Micro - at the time we hadn't been able to get hold of Paul to fact-check everything. It was mostly right!

Had an awesome day meeting up with school friends Andrew Farrow and Paul Proctor. We spent part of the day at the NorthWest Computer Museum followed by a curry and catch-up. Paul played his BBC Micro 'Alien 8' conversion for the first time in many, many years. @joekay66
