If you think you can contribute your time and expertise to the LAN then please send me a PM or reply below stating which bit or bits you feel you are interested in and we'll appoint people once we have an idea of the number of candidates.
EVEN IF SOMEONE HAS VOLUNTEERED FOR A ROLE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH - PLEASE SAY SO BELOW. SOME OF THESE ARE BIG JOBS AND CAN OFTEN DO WITH MORE THAN ONE OR TWO PEOPLE.
Thank you.
I'll take one of them tech support spots.
Put me down for LAN Admin mate, also do we want to think about getting set up on Thursday if possible?
I can help with the network/tech support.
I'm sure if you ask Blunt politely he'll bring along his Nikon D5000 and be the LAN snapper.
I'll lend a hand on the techie, network and server stuff if any more is needed, I tend to poke my oar in anyway.
I am happy to bring my camera and take the role of Lan paparazzi. I might even try out an outrageous accent.:norty:

Also stick me down for LAN Admin if you wants to :)
Already sent a message to Ninja about this but will post here that I am happy to help out wherever possible.
If people need lifts to and from the train station (and I am sober enough) I will be happy help out by giving people and their equipment a lift to the hotel. I only have a small little 2 door car but I can pack a lot in or just do multiple trips =).
The same for helping set up rooms; so general lifting and moving of tables/chairs and equipment.
Any PC or networking troubleshooting I will be happy to help with if I can. I am fairly local so let me know if you need be to bring anything in terms of cabling/equipment.
Finally I am a keen amateur photographer and lucky enough to have a 18mp camera that can shoot 1080p video with an assortment of lenses to suit most needs. Recently got a 50mm cannon prime which is awesome in low light (and for portraits) due to its f/1.8 aperture and a TAMRON 17-50mm f/2.8 again for low light photography and portraits.
Looking forward to it =)

Thanks everyone for stepping up to the various roles.
We still need LAN Late-night security if at all possible.
This is geared towards those of you that will be gaming into the late hours of the night..
Insomniacs wanted!
