Blimey this looks great.

Think it might clash with the possible "move date" that's coming up in the next few weeks though.

What a brilliant idea though, shame I can't commit to anything at the moment

I'm really hoping I can go to this, would be good to get a group of us for some 5punky discount action

You can take drink from the pub to the marquee but you cant take your own drink into the pub.

Heres the update post

We have been busy working on the LAN getting sponsors and listening to peoples requests. We have introduced clan and group pricing and the option to buy single day tickets. Prices below

Clan/group prices
5 or more = £35 weekend ticket
8 or more = £30 weekend ticket
(To book a clan/group ticket please email me)

Day tickets are £15 for each day (Hog roast not included with day ticket)
Weekend ticket £40

Projector Games will be making an appearance at the LAN. If you haven’t heard of them, they have a unique set of specially written games for a projector. This means that you can all play on the same screen at the same time. It’s crazy stuff. One game we are definitely playing is Bomberman. These guys hold the record for the biggest game, 35+ people in one game at the same time! We will be looking to beat that. They also have a load of other great games too. Check them and their site out.

If you have any more suggestions please let us know

Awesome, cheers dude,

I'm really hoping I can make this, hog roast FTW!

Have you had many sign up yet?

planbgaming · Post by **planbgaming** » July 19th, 2006, 10:28

About 15 signed up and coming, got a lot of clans trying to organise themselves for the big group discounts.

Everyone always signs up last minute

This!, hopefully at least a few of us will be able to come, still... organisation isn't our strong point

Fred Woogle · Post by **Fred Woogle** » July 20th, 2006, 16:24

I think we need to get someone to organise us as a group, DISCOUNT FTW!!!!!

Security

The venue has one entrance and exit. People arriving and leaving will be required to show their tickets or entry will be refused. Cars leaving will be searched to ensure they only have the equipment they should have. While we cannot accept responsibility for your equipment we will do our best to ensure its safety.

Each person attending the lan will receive 1 ticket plus 2 labels. The labels go on your PC and monitor (on the base or wherever) and match your own personal ticket. When entering/leaving the marque you will be asked to show your ticket. When entering/leaving the marquee with computer equipment the labels on it must match your personal ticket.

Seems to make sense, though I guess you could lock it up in your car or put it in your sleeping bag with you!
