Heya everyone... It looks like the era of the Tilburg MSX fair has ended.
For several years now, many people have felt that CGV Tilburg did not really want to organise the MSX fair, that they only did it for historical reasons, or because we kept asking them to. And this year it seems they have decided to finally pull the plug - on April 23rd, in Wijkcentrum De Schans, they are having an 'open dag', but not an MSX fair. MSX is mentioned on their poster, but not in the announcement. The people from MRC have done some research on what this is all about. The results can be found on http://www.msx.org/newspost2673.html. I for one do not blame CGV Tilburg for not wanting to organise a fair anymore when it is no longer their own userbase they are doing it for. However, I think it is a pity that they didn't just *tell* us so. Had they told us when they first started having second thoughts, which was years ago, someone else could (and probably would) have jumped in and taken over. We all saw this happen with Zandvoort/Bussum, and we all know it worked out great. Had they told us even a few months ago, someone might still have been able to find an alternative. As it is, it is probably too late to arrange for much for April this year. Anyway. This is it, then, the end of the epic Tilburg fair... Unless someone is going to jump in and organise an alternative meeting to replace it? Hugs to everyone, Wynke. _______________________________________________ MSX mailing list ([email protected]) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx
