Excellent :thumb:
I can-do/will-be-doing some photography. And although I cannot promise much, if any, time before the lan I am happy to help with the admin or competition and gaming committees where needed. I can certainly throw ideas at them :) At the lan I can also try and help with PC troubleshooting but I've spent so little time fixing/playing games recently I'm way behind current bugs etc
Put me down for helping with the LAN Network Admin
Excellent, thanks all.
sorry.. count me in for games comm. if you need it. :D
Cool.
Right, the list is looking pretty healthy. Thanks for the offers chaps. Still a couple of spots :)
I'll not be taking the usual post of lan drunk, I'd like to remember this one, so the position is up for grabs.
