LAN XI - Book Your Place Here!

[Penfold]

(This may be a bit premature but what the heck ! )

We are delighted to announce confirmation of the dMw's 11th LAN party:

LAN XI is on 20th-22nd APRIL 2007

Please note that we have a maximum of 40-ish places and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  

Members of dMw's Charlie Company is hereby given advance notice of the event.  

Bravo Company & SoG members will not be able to see this thread or book places at the LAN for a further week (or until TL moves this to Bravo channel)

Alpha Company members will not be able to see this thread or book places at the LAN for a further 3 days (or until TL moves it to open channel)

To confirm your attendance please reply to this thread and then book your own room direct with the hotel.

Please note that the hotel has an 18 years+ booking policy so the minimum age for attending the LAN is 18. There is no upper age limit (to which Doorman and OldBloke are both very grateful:narnar:)

LAN X Details:

Dates:  Friday 20th, Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd April 2007
Venue:  Oliver Cromwell, March, Cambridgeshire.
Times: The LAN venue opens at 11.00am Friday morning and the LAN will finish by 5.00pm on Sunday
Costs: For the venue - £15 total per head for the whole weekend
Costs:
Bed & Breakfast Accommodation: double occupancy £33 per person per night, sole occupancy £50 per room per night
Room Availability: 35 x Double; 8 x Twin

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 on the Friday night.  JOIN US for the WELCOME DINNER on Friday evening in Ballroom 2 at 7.30pm.  

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
  
• 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

PLEASE BOOK YOUR OWN ACCOMMODATION DIRECT WITH THE HOTEL - CALL THEM NOW!
When calling you *must* mention that you are booking in on the dMw rate, otherwise they will charge you full price!
ALSO:
When booking your room please give them both your real name AND your GAMING NAME so that I can keep tabs of who has booked and who has not.

When the Oliver Cromwell is fully booked you will need to book into the The Olde Griffin Hotel, March, Cambridgeshire which is 200yds down the road or a B&B etc.  

Amongst other things the LAN will feature:

- a list of officially supported games (BF2 and CS variants will both be there)
- organised competitions
- official LAN Admins  
- late night gaming

With your participation the 11th LAN will be a great one, so book your place now to make sure you do not miss out!  

Enjoy!

TL.

Note for International Travellers:  
As we usually have some people attending from overseas I thought the following might help:
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.
The LAN venue we charge at £15 per person for the whole weekend.
Other costs: Food and drink - this depends on you. Personally I eat my meals (Fri lunch through to Sunday lunch) in the hotel's fine restaurant, I have a bottle 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 depending on what and how much 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! Other airports are also a possibility - if in doubt post and we'll see if anyone would be travelling past your airport!
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!

Just copied the info from the last one matey.

I doubt it'll move in 24 hours - We'll leave it a few days... besides TL or another admin has to move it so it'll reside here until one of them thinks it's time.

Are you registering btw? :norty:
