RC2014 Pro Pride and RC2014 Zed Pro Pride

The response to the RC2014 Pro Pride and the RC2014 Zed Pro Pride limited edition kits was amazing with the first batch of 20 kits selling out within 3 hours! A total of 69 kits were sold in June, which raised £2780 for charity. This was split £1380 each for Trans Rescue and Rainbow Railroad which I know will make a big difference for the people they help.
All of the RC204 Pro Pride kits are sold out, but at time of writing there are still 4 RC2014 Zed Pro Pride kits left in stock.

There are still some coloured LEDs and switches left, so these will be listed on z80kits in the next week or two for those that want to add some bling to their less colourful RC2014

RP2040 VGA Terminal Back In stock

Last months mention of the RP2040 VGA Terminal generated more interest than anticipated. Good news is that they are back in stock again for those that still need one!
Congratulations to Alex for winning the Retro Not Vintage competition on Reddit with this video. I'm sure there are tricks on here that we can all benefit from

Liverpool MakeFest

Once again Liverpool MakeFest was a fantastic event. There were a lot of the regular RC2014 community that showed up, along with some new faces too. Already looking forward to 2024!

VCF Midwest

9-10 September will see VCF come to Illinois. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it myself, but Darren and Patrick will have have a stall there packed with RC2014 goodness. Just look out for the RC2014 banner (Thans Jay!) 
It seems like ages since there's been a discount code in the newsletter. So how about 10% off of an RC2014 Pro throughout the rest of July? Just use the discount code RC1812.6 at checkout for 10% off of your RC2014 Pro
