Friday 27th October: You are welcome to arrive at the venue from 2pm onwards. There will be plenty of machines set up to play and the evening is spent getting to know each other. Later on in the evening, there
will be the Eurocon 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' quiz.
Saturday 28th October: At 9am the venue opens for the setting up of the trade session, and the weekend
attendees get the first chance to trade! At 11am, the trade session is open to the public. This is called the North-West Classic Gaming Fair.
Also during this time there will be a high score challenge, a multiple-choice quiz and plenty of games to play, (including arcade machines). The trade session closes to the public/Saturday attendees at 4pm.
In the early evening there will be the opportunity for people to tell us about something special from their
collection. The previously unreleased prototype for the NES 'Way of the Exploding Fist' will be unveiled to the public and the ROM unleashed to the classic gaming community world-wide! There will also be the culmination of the 'Best Games of All Time' as voted for by yourselves!
We'll then be heading into Blackpool to hit the arcades - and Blackpool has plenty of new and old machines
for everybody. The Pleasure Beach will also be open for business, and we usually sneak a few beers in somewhere along the way.
Sunday 30th October: Again, the venue is open from 9am and many of the competitions will be decided this morning. There's also the opportunity to again play on a large variety of different machines. Early in the afternoon, we'll hold the usual Eurocon auction and have the prize giving. The official finish will be about 3pm, leaving everybody an hour to get their stuff together before we have to be out of the venue.
Details of the weekend competitions and prizes will be announced later in October.
