The calendar was a collaboration between Neil, electronics firm Heber and 1ClickPrint.com who supplied the calendars at their own cost to help raise as much as possible.

“I’m delighted by the response to our calendar this year and would like to thank all the viewers of RMCretro on YouTube who sent in their pictures and bought a calendar. I’ve also enjoyed volunteering at the pre-school and seen the wonderful work they do and how much the children enjoy it. I can’t wait to see how it’s used to make their visits even better.” Said Neil Thomas, curator at the Retro Collective.

“The success of this fundraiser underscores the positive influence of retro computer and gaming all around the world. And this is reflected in our museums which all are welcome to visit and dive into the history of over 50 years of video games.” Said Neil.

The Retro Collective is based in Chalford and comprises of two museums, The Cave and Arcade Archive, and Heber, an electronics company who are producing new products for retro computer enthusiasts. You can find out more and book a visit at RetroCollective.co.uk
