ABOUT ROUGOL
ROUGOL is a not-for-profit organisation consisting of Acorn/RISC OS computer users in London and the south-east. Our aim is to bring those users together. There is no membership fee and entry to all meetings is free. To find out more, email us.
MEETINGS
Meetings are held on the third Monday of every month. Most meetings feature a guest speaker, demonstrating the latest hardware or software, giving tutorials of software both new and old, or simply to kick off discussions on the current hot topic. Entrance is free, so why not come along and say hello?
Next meeting -
Monday 16th February 2026 
Retro YouTube and pocket computers - Colin Hoad
Colin Hoad runs a YouTube channel about retro computing, particularly focusing on his love of Acorn computers. This has included specials such as the 85 Best Beeb Games, or his recent suffering playing 25 of the worst games ever from the Cascade50 cassette!
Colin will talking about how he makes these videos, what research goes into producing them, and what inspires the topics chosen.
For those in the pub Colin will also be bringing along a selection of his
growing collection of handheld computers from Acorn, Psion and others for
everyone to play with. Bring along any you have too!
