Well there won't be any spare TV's as we have a massive shortage of them as it is so if you do want to bring a system then you will have to bring a TV.

No where near as busy as the last one but we didn't expect it to be as it was a mini RV, we had around 30 people there I think.

question... it was free on Saturday right? Cos I just saw about 2013 Retrovision and it says theres a £10 fee... should I have paid for entry the other day or is it because it was just a .5??
