i thought that with konbo arcade cafe open in edinburgh that perhaps now we have a good venue for a uk shmupmeet.

i spoke to michael who runs it tonight and he is definitely up for hosting sooooo if the interest is good lets go.
we should be able to get 2 vert cabs at least and there is a good selection of vert and hori pcbs amongst the games list
..

i may even be able to borrow a raizing or something else cool from markedkiller and i am sure michael will be willing to help with any specific ideas anyone may have that would be good/fun for the weekend
will deffo try have a couple of rotateable lcds so we can plug in /laptops/mame/xbox360/retropie setups for any specific runs people want to showcase as well as the cabs.
dates are down to you the potential attendees i guess??
april is usually the time when people get leave renewed and would leave plenty of time for people to book cheap trains/flights/hotels/air bnb etc and edinburgh is very convenient for travel links in general.
so lets discuss if there is gonna be enough interest for a uk shmupmeet outside of the london area
trust me konbo is luxury compared to casino..it has food/drink A TOILET and a cool owner
thanks

Why not, I'm up for a bit of this. If it can somehow coincide with some rugby at Murrayfield all the better

I'm in Konbo at least a couple of times per week these days. Whenever a meet up happens I'll make it down.
