From its site, I get the impression Brum 2600 is no longer active. Is there an active 2600 group in the West Mids? If not, anyone interested in trying to get one going?

A 2600 group needcs to be all-inclusive... which to me means no meeting in pubs: I'm over 18, but a lot of geeks aren't, and if the group was going to meet up in pubs that affects potenrial membership quite drastically. Also, no elitism: I'm a learner, pretty crappy at coding, and an environment where we could learn rather than be laughed at would be cool. Also, maybe setting up events that might lure non-2600 types - eg LAN gaming parties?

I've never been to a 2600 or a con, only know stuph from vids shot at Defcon etc and tales of 2600s round the world. In these days of faceless, monitor-keyboard interaction with ppl. it'd be cool meeting like-minded folk in the flesh. Anyone up to giving it a go?

Cheers,
