PRE-BOOKING FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS
For those of you coming to LAN XIII from overseas - please book your flights for this LAN as soon as you like and can you also please PM me/post here to confirm your interest and I'll add you to the list accordingly.
To remind you, the dates are 11th - 13th April 2008
As per the last LAN, (apart from int'l visitors) the booking thread will open in a couple of weeks for Charlie members to sign up, then to Bravo members and then to the Community as a whole.

Note for International Travellers:
As we usually have some people attending from overseas I thought the following might help:
The LAN accommodation costs are above, it's cheaper if you agree to share a twin bed (two single beds) room with someone of course.
The LAN venue we charge at £15 per person for the whole weekend.
Other costs: Food and drink - this depends on you. Personally I eat my meals (Fri lunch through to Sunday lunch) in the hotel's fine restaurant, I have a bottle of wine with each meal and my food and drink bill usually comes to about £160 for the weekend. Others buy sandwiches, get burgers etc, stick to beer not wine etc and and their bill runs to maybe £50-60 for the weekend depending on what and how much they eat & drink.
Travel: Any London airport works well, Stanstead & Luton are closest.
Heathrow is ok, Gatwick is further but still doable. If you book your flight tickets we'll make sure someone picks you up and takes you back - post on the forums for a lift and you are usually sorted out very quickly as other attending members appreciate the international effort made! Other airports are also a possibility - if in doubt post and we'll see if anyone would be travelling past your airport!
Computer - if you have a shuttle or laptop then you're probably sorted (unless hand luggage rules cause you problems) but if you cannot bring your own PC then post in the LAN section to see if someone is willing to lend you a spare PC for the weekend. Many people have done this in the past and it seems to work well!
