Can we book our rooms yet?

News/Announcements / LAN Update
Last post by Chaosphere - November 21, 2025, 01:45:47 AMHi all,
So with the most recent LAN drawing smaller numbers that expected, we have had a chat about the future of the events and how best to try to support their continued existence.
I'll cut right to it, we have decided to transition to 1 LAN per year.
This means for 2026 we will be dropping the April LAN.
The October LAN will go ahead as planned.
As a reminder, this is 8th- 11th October 2026.
For 2027 onward, we will aim to poll the Community to see if a different time of year would be preferable, and will try to go with the majority.
It is perhaps worth me mentioning that we are also exploring alternate venues for the LAN, but have yet to find something that adequately meets our needs while remaining cost-sustainable.
I know there will be mixed feelings here, but I hope all understand the decision. This isn't something we want to do, but feel that with dwindling numbers and rising costs, we have little choice.
What we will be looking to do is arrange a yearly WAN to fill the gap. More on this in the months to come.
Thanks to all who continue to support the Community and the LANs. I look forward to seeing you in October!
Please do feel free to share your thoughts on this here, as always the running of the Community is open for discussion. Please speak up!
Cheers,
Council.

News/Announcements / Re: Gibbo, Community Support
Last post by Chaosphere - November 21, 2025, 01:36:17 AMHi again all,
I am delighted to announce that we have collectively raised just over £400 for Gibbo.
A huge thank you to all who have contributed.
So far, we have sent him -
A card wishing him the best from all of us at dMw,
A years subscription to Audible,
A hand-delivered takeaway!
We were somewhat limited with the food options by his current locale, which is why we've stopped short for now.
We are chatting to his family to decide on how best to spend the rest, but will make sure it all ends up going towards something to put a smile on his face.
Thanks again all!
