ALSO:
When booking your room please give them both your real name AND your GAMING NAME so that I can keep tabs of who has booked and who has not.[/b]

When the Oliver Cromwell is fully booked you will need to book into the The Olde Griffin Hotel, March, Cambridgeshire (http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/hotels/oldegrif.html) which is 200yds down the road or a B&B etc.

D'oh! It took me a while to get that one  :blush:

This is a booking thread, please keep it on topic.

TL.

Booked :D

Didn't give them my "Game" name, I'm assuming they still have the computer records from last year and they should have the notes.

She didn't ask for much detail anyway and they remembered me last time anyway.

Haven't received the confrimation letter yet though.  :unsure:

Did you mention you were part of the dMw LAN party?   They may wanna charge you full rate (if we get a discount) as I had same thing a couple of LAN's ago.


Booked !

BUMP,

c'mon you duffers - sign up  :eyebrow:

Lionheart reporting for duty. One place required .

Could I have a seat a safe distance from the sexual deviants please. That'll be Chatteris then  :(

Okay, count me in aswell.
Anyone want to share a room? DA doesn't reply his PM's.
Also needed a ride from and to the airport (but I think DA will cover that).

As mentioned somewhere by Delan, I'm sharing a room with him. I do need a ride from the airport though, and since I'll be coming from Garda Lake, Italy it seems I'll be landing in Gatwick, not Stanstedt. Any chance someone could be there to pick me up?

Yeah I will land in Stansted and I am in the same situation - but maybe trains is an option?

No chance of getting a train

when time do people land.

Let the people know what your flightnumber is and when it arrives and so.
It makes it alot easier. ;)

Mono,

Gatwick's going to be a toughie I imagine.

As far as I'm aware there's not too many people from the South-East. I am, but will be dropping the family off at the in-laws in Cambridgeshire on Thursday night and going from there so I'm sorry I can't help.

That said, I do recall a couple of people live on the South Coast which will pass Gatwick - just not sure who they were...

Train would be hard although you could take the City Thameslink from Gatwick which goes straight  through the centre of London and through to St Albans That would put you more in line with people travelling in from the West coming round the M25.

Or you can get an airport to airport bus transfer from Gatwick to Stanstead for about £30 return (http://www.nationalexpress.com/destinations/airports.cfm)

The final option is quite laboured going from Gatwick to London Bridge then tube to Liverpool Street then train to Stanstead but that's like 3 hours.

Only takes one hour and goes via Cambridge.

By South Coast I mean SE Coast  i.e. Brighton / Easbourne way. Not, obviously, Dorset as LGW is really not on the way  :P

quick look on //www.thetrainline.com - You could get from gatwick to kings cross where you can catch a lift if possible, otherwise a train up to either cambridge(2 hours) or to march via Ely (2:45) ... times for a friday train leaving at 1200. Not the niceset of journeys, keep your fingers crossed for a lift from somewhere!

I think he'd be best getting the Airport to Airport transfer from Gatwick to Stansted and then grabbing a lift from there or getting the direct train to March. It's gotta be easier than trapsing through the centre of town and moving from train to train.

They go every half hour and it takes about 3 hours direct and costs £30 return.

http://tinyurl.com/daomz (http://tinyurl.com/daomz)

Then it's a pick-up at Stansted or a train to March where I'll be waiting with a cold beer for him!  :D

PEN

I guess the bus to stanstead is easier in terms of being direct, but it takes 3 hours. By train you could get all the way to March in about 2:45 (return on sunday closer to 3) Looks like it'd cost about £40 return. Alternatively you can get to stanstead by train from gatwick in about 2 hour for approx £33 return. You do have to change in london and it requires slightly more faffing about, but it could be quicker? Just my 2p :) Hopefully there'll be someone in the vicinity of south london coming up though!

Maybe a word with either DarkAngel or MonkNightWay could help out.
The last time me and my twinbro got a tour around London from MNW.
DA usually picks me up from Stansted.

AFAIK Gandy lives in Eastbourne.  I believe he's already booked his place at the LAN, and Gatwick could be factored in to his route up to March without too much upset.

Drop him a PM and see if he might be able to pick you up.

all depends on the time. I'll be in March by lunchtime on Friday so if your plane lands Friday morning then it'll be ok.

I live in charminster, near winton mate up for a beer one night?

K, I'm waiting for Dan (Red) to respond to my PM for sharing a twinroom (hopefully he'll book it).
But:

Flight booked:
Friday 21 April
Amsterdam to London Stansted; flight 3882 departure Fri 21 apr 09:30; arrival. Friday 21 apr 09:35

Flight back:
Sunday 23 April
London Stansted to Amsterdam; flight 3893 departure Sunday 23 Apr 19:25; arrival. Sun 23 Apr 21:30.

Hopefully DA is coming around Stansted again to pick me up.

Will check dates tomorrow with work and find out.

I've allready been in contact with Red by PM. He first needs to get a ride sorted.
(we still have a few days to get everything sorted anyway  ;)).

Please note that the room prices we will be charged for LAN IX have increased slightly from the price we have been charged over the previous 2 years.  The hotel is now under new management and and their standard charges have risen considerably, although we have still managed to negotiate a significant discount on the normal rates.

Hello,

Long time no speak.  Curse the addictiveness of World of Warcraft!

Both myself (Karrde) and Brother Tobious from [dg] will be coming along after some badgering from Suicidal Monkey.  Sadly I have to share a twin room with him  :huh:

Now I just got to blow cobwebs off my joystick and remember you don't level up after each kill.

Can I use rifles without seeing the trainer first?

Put me down as probable, just got to check cash flow and time off work.
