Unofficially - dMw LAN X

[TeaLeaf]

This annoncement went out to dMw Charlie Company members this morning.  It will be visible to SoG members as of tomorrow.

This is advance notice for Field Marshalls, in case you wanted to book a cheap flight etc and come and join us!

The LAN accomodation costs are below, cheaper if you share a room of course.
The LAN venue we charge at £15 per person for the whole weekend.
Other costs: Food and drink - this depends on you. I eat all meals (Fri Lunch through to Sunday lunch) in the hotel's fine restaurant, I have a bottle or three of wine with each meal and my food and drink bill usually comes to about £160 for the weekend. Others buy sandwiches, get burgers etc, stick to beer not wine etc and and their bill runs to maybe £50-60 for the weekend drinks & food depending on what they eat/drink.
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!

Hope this helps, grab me on TS tonight if you need more info!
