by Jeffrey Brace 24 Aug '23

As the repair workshops are getting crowded, I'm going to be reserving 9032-A again which will provide plenty of room for everyone. If you are interested in using that space, then let me know and I will have it open for you at the next repair workshop Aug 26 & 27. Thanks!

Hello everyone, Just a reminder that there is a repair workshop this coming weekend.

On Saturday, you can unload and then park in the main parking lot due to the car show which runs from 11AM to 4PM.

Dies muss zunächst an den Altrechnerverbandmuseumlenkungsausschuss gesendet werden, bevor es dann an den Altrechnerverbandvorstand gesendet werden, zur Zuweisung von Mitteln aus dem Altrechnerverbandmuseumhaushaltsplan. Ordnung muss sein!

As 2023 winds down and the last order for the 2023 t-shirts are made, we are planning on the design for the 2024 t-shirt. We have a few ideas mulling about, but would like a few more and then have a vote. Who has a good idea for a VCF 2024 t-shirt design? Thanks!
