They didn’t just have Spectrum’s on display, they also had a lot of other Sinclair goodies – including calculators, QL’s, ZX81’s and ZX80’s.

    We were there. The event was superb and well organised. A big thank-you to everyone who worked so hard to get the event off the ground and to all those who brought stuff to demo.
