BAC Meeting 2025
The legendary BAC meeting is back!
Same AWESOME location, same format, same old Amiga fun and of course: a whole lot of Amiga's.
Date!
Saturday, September 27 - doors open at 13:00 and close at ...
Location!
Beatrijslaan 41, 2050 Antwerpen (LinkerOever)
Let's hope for a sunny day so you can enjoy your drink on the river-side terrace with a gorgeous view on the city.
Attention 1!
This address is inside the Low Emission Zone!
(sorry about that)
So if you plan to bring your retro-gear with your equally retro car, you have a few options
- Park outside the LEZ and enjoy a beautiful walk with the lake "Galgenweel" at one side and the river "Schelde" at the other side. The border of that zone is 1KM away.
- Go official and buy a LEZ day pass (35 euro, yeah ...)
- Go rogue and hope for the best
More information about this zone and how to check you car can be found here.
If you do park outside the LEZ and have a huge amount of gear, give me ping and we'll organize a last-mile taxi service.
For all other cars, there's plenty of parking space in front of the building. (Which is a paying parking zone since a year - if you want to avoid that: read on)
Attention 2!
If your are coming from the east-side of the river Schelde: The Waaslandtunnel (Konijnenpijp) is currently closed for restauration. You will have to take the Kennedy tunnel or the Liefkeshoek tunnel)
If you are coming from the direction of Brussels, check your map-software, it might be faster crossing the Schelde at Temse, avoiding the Kennedy tunnel.
Parking!
Since a year, the zone in front if the building is a paying parking zone. If you want to avoid that and don't mind a very short walk: starting 100m down the road, the area between the lake and the river is a free parking zone. (See map)
The very few parking spots on the terrain is reserved for our Shops and the Organisation.
Please don't park further down the terrain, you will block access to the sheds often used for boats.
Free entry!
as always
Bring your machine!
There are tables and power plug enough for everybody.
So bring your retro computer gear, soldering irons, screwdrivers and chainsaws.
Show off your machine, do some repairs or play some games.
Shop!
https://consolekabels.be is present with a whole range of buyable goodies.
If you're looking for that super-special adapter, cable or plug - please order upfront and save on postage by collection it at the meeting.
https://gotek.nl/ is also present with a whole range of buyable goodies.
Please order upfront and save on postage by collection it at the meeting.
Food! Drinks! Merch!
No doubt you'll get thirsty and hungry from this top-sport-gaming. Drinks are plenty at the bar and we'll also serve some food.
Don't expect star-quality, but it will be tasty and available and best of all: paying a few euros for our Paula Pizzas and Denise Dogs will help pay for the location.
Next to that, there will be BRAND NEW Belgian Amiga T-Shirt available for you to buy, which will also help pay for the venue.
Quiz!
After the initial kick-off, the short but fun Amiga Quiz will return: Team up and show of your 733t Amiga knowledge.
Do you know the game of this screenshot? Do you recognise this game-tune? What group made this legendary demo?
and YES: here as well some very cool physical prizes can be won.
DEMOS?
Much to our surprise, an actual Amiga demo was released at one of our previous parties, so who knows....
Rest assured that IF you release something (ASCII Art? Pixel Art? a music Mod?) it will get shown at the center stage and you won't go home empty handed.
