Hotel Costs:Bed & Breakfast:
This year there is only 1 twin room available to us due to another booking made before we set the dates 18 months ago, and sadly it is unavoidable for this LAN. As such we will be running a first come first serve policy so if you want the twin book fast. There are now no twin rooms available.
However the goods news is because of this we have been give a discount for the double rooms for this Lan only.
[/I]
- Double occupancy £33 per person per night - that means sharing a double room with your mate or 'special friend' in the same bed unless you're lucky enough to book the only twin available
- Single occupancy £40 per room per night - double room only.
If you book a Twin Room or Double and want to share the costs of the room but DON'T already have a roomie, 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.
You are free to book your rooms now directly with the hotel on 01354 602890.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).
Travel:- we will do our best to arrange pick up and drop off from the major London airports. If you find yourself stuck or simply want to share a lift, post in the travel plans thread.
Gear:- there will be a packing thread posted soon. The basics are some sort of PC and monitor, with peripherals including headphones - speakers are a no no. If you're desperate to game but can't get a PC to the LAN, ask around, we have in the past been able to source PCs from generous members of the community willing to lend - in exchange for a beer or 3 of course :norty:
Seating:- seating details will be released closer to the event.
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.

Nice one Gortex & Ghosty! Gutted I can't make this one.. I'll make up for it in October and I'm sure you can manage without me... it'll likely be better, right? :norty:
Please pay attention to the price change boys and girls. As there are no twins available (well, 1) you get a double bed all to yourself for £10 less per night than the normal rate.

Update: Seems the thought of sharing a room again with my lovely son has scared Nuka off (ok, he's realised he's got exams that week)
Puff is now sharing with Paddy
Ah that's a shame, but priorities I guess (and by this I mean nuka has his all wrong, ditching the LAN for
exams).

Need an actual booking mate. What we do not need is details of you and jewelz sharing that double bed. Nope.

Booking for LAN 33 is now open to all members!
With 25 rooms booked, I would get booked in soon if you want to stay at the Cromwell - there are a limited number of double rooms available (from memory, it is just over 30).
Great to see some returning members following their first LAN in October! The May / Spring LANs are usually a tad smaller and more 'intimate'. I'm a big fan of these ones, and gutted to be missing it!
Have fun!

no excuses you can still come to it and bunk up with me. :yahoo:

I am pretty sure you can snuggle up to Ghosty in the Honeymoon suite if you want as a replacement...
.... which is Room 10 if you're worried about asking.
double room booked, thu/fri/sat nights :)
Nice one gunda!
Brief moment of panic on hearing "unfortunately Saturday is fully booked" before the new guy found out they had some dmw reserved rooms, so am now safely booked 3rd-6th :cheers:

Yep the lady who I spoke to when booking said the same thing until I mentioned the dMw bit and it all became clear.
I rang when this was posted and had the lady moaning saying she’d been rushed off her feet by all of us booking lol

I have booked the time off work and knowing my manager she won't know how to approve it so I'll take it off regardless :)
I'll be sharing with uni whether he likes it or not.
