My second Econet LAN Party, this time helping to run the event as a volunteer at the National Museum of Computing!

The 2026 Econet LAN Party was a roaring success and I had a wonderful time, with highlights including Elite over Econet, a special "capture the flag" Econet game and very special guests, including Acorn's own Professor Stve Furber (principal designer of both the BBC Micro and the ARM chip) and Chris "CBT" Turner, Acorn employee #1 and chief engineer.

If you like what you see here, do join us again in 2027, as the event is going from strength to strength!
