There is a bar 10 yards from the LAN room, and a highstreet (with a fine Kebab establishment) 20 yards away.
The hotel gives us a heavily discounted rate on our rooms, and gives us the LAN room for FREE. Please respect the arrangement we have had with them for many years and the relationship we have built. Do not bring in alcohol from outside. There is a bar for that. Snacks and the odd salted seahorse latte from Costa are generally ok, but please bring such things in discretely (i.e. through the door leading directly to the LAN room, not via the public bar), and don't take the proverbial.
Please see HERE (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43239-LAN-XXXI-Games-List) for the games list. Make sure you have these installed and ready to go, along with anything else you fancy playing at the LAN.
It is a good idea to run Steam the night before the LAN to make sure you are up to date. There should be working internet at the event, but it is better not to have to rely on it for your 30gb update Friday morning.
Full itinerary can be found HERE (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43207-LAN-XXXI-Itinerary).

Great stuff, Just a quick question, how long a network cable is it worth bringing? 1,2,5,10? All of the above just in case?
10 is a good idea mate

I always take a small one of a meter and a 10 as you don't know how far away you will be from the network adaptor :)
