In more normal times (remember those!) this would have been the weekend when lots of people trekked up to the Wakefield Show (and there would have been a write up in The Icon Bar for those unable to attend).
 

The Wakefield show organisers have announced that this year's show has been postponed, due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic:

"Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club regrets to announce that, in the light of the coronavirus (COVID-19)
outbreak, the 25th Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Computer Show will NOT go ahead on the 18th April 2020, and
will have to be postponed. We will endeavour to contact all exhibitors directly in the coming days, and
further announcements regarding the event will be made in due course, once the situation becomes
clearer."

Anyone know a good virus killer?
 

The South-West Show took place at it new regular home on a wet, but bright saturday. It was the most positive and exciting show for a long time with lots to see and do. For the first time it was even streamed live on the Internet (but still much more exciting to be there). Here is what I saw wandering around the stands.
 

Here are my notes from the talks. As usual all errors or omissions are mine.

The South West Show is next Saturday (22nd February). Organised as usual by R-Comp and Orpheus Internet, the show will take place at the Arnos Manor, in Bristol again. The venue is very easy to reach by both car and public transport and you can book a room if you want to stay the night.
 

It is not too late to make a New Year's Resolution.... And if you have not already planned to attend, then may we recommend make it a trip to the RISC OS South-West Show on Saturday 22nd February.
 

The show seemed very busy and I did not get a chance to speak to everyone. You can see all the stands in our pictures and notes on the talks. Here is what I picked up from the exhibitors.....
