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
- Whole day social
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. When you book your 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!
When you book your flight tickets please can you try and get a early flight for the day you arrive, and also a later flight for your return. This make pickups and drop off for the weekend much easier, but if it is not possible dont worry something will be sorted.
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 confirmed you have booked including when you are arriving
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. Also if you are booking a room to share please can you put that down and who you are sharing with.If your looking for a buddy to share with check here (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?42526-LAN-XXX-Room-Mate-List&p=413136#post413136)List of Gaming attendees

mmhmmmm, LAN virgins
Room booked for the whole event Wednesday to Sunday and I can't wait :D should be a brilliant time if anything like last time :D
Booked from Wednesday
How many of us can he hotel fit?
We're booked from Wed-Sun.
The hotel isn't an issue but it has 33 doubles and 8 twins. If over subscribed then people have stayed just up the road at The Griffin.
It's more a case of how many people we can fit into the gaming room and that's being discussed
Quote from: no peanuts;413217mmhmmmm, LAN virgins
Please try your hardest not to take advantage of me jewelz told me the basics
Quote from: Gorion;413228How many of us can he hotel fit?
We're booked from Wed-Sun.
35 x Double; 8 x Twin, so we can get a minimum of 51 and more if the couples avoid Twins and use the Doubles. We then move into overflow accommodation, which I'm talking to the hotel about, but it involves using some rooms not normally released, a couple of staff flats and then the use of other local (walking distance) accommodation. We should not run out of space in March unless we exceed 70 people! :norty:
Put me down for Wed-Sun o/
Booked into the Cromwell too
sneakytiger and aceymetrix booked wednsday to sunday.(both gaming)
Booked for the whole shebang, gaming, lolligagging, drinking, the works!

Added mate, there is the social side if that interests which you can book right away.
Wife just booked tickets :)
Lillepus - Social
Twinroom confirmed for me and Jamoe at the Oliver Cromwell. He'll be joining on Friday, I should be there a day earlier.
Good stuff ! :)
Seems i may be able to make it after all, please can you add me to the 'reserve list'
Should be attending as a social - please add me to the list!
Quote from: Mugi;416128Should be attending as a social - please add me to the list!
Mugi are you coming for the whole weekend?? have you secured a room?
Yes and yes chap. Travelling up to Tuna to drop off the wife and kids and heading over on Wednesday evening with him.
Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to come due to unforeseen circumstances.
That should free up a place for someone on the reserve list, and free up a room in the hotel. I'll call the hotel in the next couple of days.
I was looking forward to meeting you all but there's always the next one :)

Bad luck!
Can you speak to BrotherTobious re the room please? Rather than cancel the room it might be easier to let him transfer it to the next person who was on the list (I think he has a room list of people wanting to transfer into the hotel from the Griffin etc as well as a queue list).
