Yes - it's BBQ time. The hottest Amiga event of the year will be taking place on Saturday 18th July. Expect the usual mix of good times, great food, good weather, lots of Amiga fun and a few special guests. As always, the BBQ is not to be missed!
When: Saturday, 18th July 2026
Where: Ottershaw Village Hall, Brox Road, Ottershaw, Surrey, KT16 0HG – https://maps.app.goo.gl/31UwXywBMcwKs7FW9
Time: 9am-8pm
A Kickstart tradition that dates back to 1997, we’ve had a BBQ at our home base in Ottershaw every year we’ve been doing in-person meetups. Unlike our regular meets that take place on a Sunday, we move this meet to a Saturday to make it easier for people to stay over for the night, have a drink etc. and we have some top-notch food lined up for the grill.
We’ll be doing good quality burgers, sausages, chicken and more, as well as coleslaw, salads and other stuff. You are more than welcome to bring your own beer and/or wine, but please drink responsibly.
Kickstart 9 will still be a regular Kickstart meet-up, with all the usual fun and games (we might finally get one of those gaming competitions going on the big projector screen, you never know). We will also have the new TheA1200 on display, the full-size sequel to TheA500 Mini, but with a full working keyboard and AmigaOS, as well as pre-installed games.
As well as the usual top-quality fun, expect some special guests, some very special competitions and a few more surprises.
