If you book a Twin Room and want to share the costs of the room then when you post in this thread to confirm your attendance then also make a note of the fact you have a Twin room booked and are looking for someone to share with.
As before, the reduced accommodation and function room rates have been negotiated on the basis that the majority of the attendees will partake of the excellent cuisine offered by either the hotel restaurant's Fixed price, A La Carte or Bar menus.
And YES, there WILL be Steak Night!Eating at the hotel is NOT mandatory, but I am sure that any attendee from the last couple of LANs will vouch for the quality of both the food and the company!The Oliver Cromwell offers:
- The Noble Suite - an air conditioned conference room (http://www.olivercromwellhotel.co.uk/conferences.html)
- 24/7 access to the suite
- dMw control of entry to the suite
- Late night bar
- Gymnasium
- Large indoor swimming pool
- Eight-person Jacuzzi
- Sauna and Steam room
Amongst other things the LAN will feature:
- A list of officially supported games ( Games TBC)
- Organised competitions
- Official LAN Admins
- Late night gaming
Note for International Travellers: 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.
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!
Please note that, as previously, by signing below you agree to sign a liability disclaimer waiver form (if not already signed). This is a condition of your attendance at the LAN. Please pm Penfold if you wish to see a copy of it.You are free to book your rooms now directly with the hotel on 01354 602890. So put your name down when you have confrimed you have booked in
Remember to say it's for the dMw Lan (to get the subsidised rate) and also give your real name and gaming name.(If you want to arrive early and stay on the Thursday night you will receive the same subsidised rate).
Please can you also say if you are LAN or Social so we have the numbers for the tables. Once you have booked your room please post below so I can keep track, state if you arriving Thursday as well. Also if you are booking a room to share please can you put that down and who you are sharing with.

What's your favourite room
Sent from my Nexus 4
due to the fact that i may have to have major back surgery (worse case scenary) in the next 8 weeks (depending on the miltary/nhs) the best i can say for now is saturday daytime only...not what i wanted but may be the only option if i can even make that. As some of you are aware this has gone on for a while so i may have to even cancel a day visit at v short notice. But if things go bad, i may be medically discharged (but not if i can help it) but if..... if.. im allowed to drive I WILL DO MY UPMOST TO DAY VISIT, and if it goes even better i will book last minute .com for the week end.
so to that end please put me down for a maybe for the full weekend, and a maybe for the days.... :sad:
Arriving Thursday and leaving Sunday. Room booked (not confirmed yet though) for me an the wife. Social attendees the both of us :-)

Checkpoint,
Alya can you confrim if you are playing or you are just a social I have guessed.
Sulky would be great if you can make it. I will put you down but please can you confrim ASAP cause it looking like it is going to be busy and we might run out of room.
Sign me up Chief! I'll be there Thursday and going to book a room tomorrow.
For some reason, Kakehund doesn't have supporting members access.
He emailed the Cromwell now ordering a double room starting the thursday.
He's calling Spiritus to wake him up and get him to book as well.
Cool guys will put your names up when you let me know your booked in :-D

Added Januz (+1 tbc) to the travel thread for an LHR pickup on Thursday and a Sunday return (same flights as Kakehund, Spiritus, Faust85, Othbarty & Soon Jung.
And then I am booked and coming together with Januz, and the rest of those crazy norwegians on thursday:)
And I will be a sosial attendee, unless something magical happens and I find a laptop that can actually play any games(-:
I am comming as a LAN attendee not as Social.

Sorry to hear this mate hope it gets better soon and there is always Spring!
think I've managed to juggle everything... room for Friday and Saturday nights booked!
What's that ninja? There are still spaces free for the LAN. Well it would be a shame to see them go to waste.

Forgot to say I'm in for Thursday - Sunday
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOTEL NOW HAS A WAITING LIST OF PEOPLE WANTING TO BOOK THE HOTEL FOR THE THURSDAY NIGHT.
THEY ARE ALL CURRENTLY STILL ON HOLD FOR US BUT I'VE SAID THEY CAN RELEASE THEM ON FRIDAY TO ENSURE THEY GET TO MAXIMISE OCCUPANCY.
So, if you're looking to come to the LAN and want to arrive on the Thursday night you only have today and tomorrow to book your room.
This doesn't apply to the 'normal' LAN weekend nights of Friday and Saturday where we continue to have a block booking across all the rooms.
Thanks
BOOK YOUR ROOMS ASAP!
