Ahead of our next Kickstart meet in Ottershaw in October, Kickstart will be on the road in August and September, popping up at some events and supporting some of our friends at their user group meets.

On 12th August 2023 we will be heading to the Holiday Inn Kenilworth (it’s about half way between Warwick and Coventry) for Zzap! Live 2023. It’s a hands-on show celebrating all things Commodore, from the early 8-bit days right the way through to the Amiga and even Commodore’s difficult history as a PC maker. We are there in conjunction with our friends at the South West Amiga Group, helping to populate the Amiga area. Some of the Kickstart team will be there showing off some modified and updated member machines, showing how you can make the most of the Amiga in 2023.

Zzap! Live 2023 will feature over 50 interactive exhibits, representing the entire history of Commodore computing from the humble pioneering days right up to the present. Not only will there be plenty to play, but other ways to spend your time and your money while you socialise!

Zzap! Live will have more than a dozen dedicated trader tables, where you can pick up games, systems, collectibles, retro tech, magazines, books and plenty of other specialist goods at great prices. Hardware exhibitors supporting the event will also be selling the odd piece of kit, so keep an eye out for a bargain or an opportunity to own a truly special and cared for machine.

You can grab tickets for the show here. We look forward to seeing you there!
