29 degrees celcius, it's hot here in Coutances after the results of the contests, so because I am thinking about all visitors (at least me) who could use some water, here are 2 old photos which will provide some.

Size doesnt matter by SuperSly, oh really o.O ?

Dont get lost when you arrive, the room has changed, instead of entering just after Eliot's car, go left and down.

Then, you will find the entrance with CPCists trying to make the new demo which will put in flame the Batman forever demo.

So here is the new home of the ReSeT #0 meeting.

Here is the part of the room where most of the work is done (teeths chewing).

I wont say that some people in this meeting are using a C64 instead of a CPC, I promise...

And of course we have our own cinema room which was playing Batman forever a bit later.

Get your swim suit, because you will sleep in the l'aquarium (fish tank).

Top secret place of your webmaster, with the webmaster certainly drinking some coffee instead of working on this site.

Welcome back to Coutances, home of the ReSeT #0 meeting, organized by the tireless Eliot. I arrived this Friday just in time for lunch.

Sadly Eliot either doesn't own a watch or he still need to learn to use one, meals are good but never at the good hour that old men like me needs. So the meal started at 3:00pm with the first persons arrived.

At least Eliot has one big quality, he is very courageous : he isnt afraid of Escherichia coli, just look at part of our meal.

Amstrad Expo is no more, but rejoice as ReSeT #0 is the new name of the Amstrad meeting organized by the tireless Eliot.
