LAN XIII - Book Your Place Here:

[Penfold]

We are delighted to announce confirmation of the dMw's 13th LAN party:
 
LAN XIII is on 11th - 13th April 2008
 
The LAN will officially open at 10.00am on Friday morning
The LAN will officially end at 11.00am on Sunday morning as we will need to be out of the room to allow them to convert it back to its normal Sunday lunch use.


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

Booking hierarchy:

 Members of dMw's Charlie Company are given first notice of this booking thread.
Bravo Company & SoG members will be able to see this thread and book places a week later
Alpha Company members will be able to see this thread and book places 3 days after that  
 (Please note that international gamers have a dispensation to pre-book so they can book their flights early).
 
To confirm your attendance please reply to this thread

 Please note that the hotel has an 18 years+ booking policy so the minimum age for attending the LAN is 18.

LAN XIII Details:
 
Dates: Friday 11th, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th April 2008
Venue: Oliver Cromwell, March, Cambridgeshire.
Times: The LAN venue opens at 11.00am Friday morning and the LAN will finish by 11.00am on Sunday

dMw Costs: For the venue - £15 total per head for the whole weekend. Please note that if you fail to show up or give us little notice - a contribution to the LAN funds would still be appreciated (As things such as the amount of the prize fund are determined by the number of sign ups).

Hotel 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.
 
And YES, we WILL be asking them to organise a better Steak Night!
 
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 ROOM WITH THE HOTEL NOW!!!

 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. Also, you *must* mention that you are booking in on the dMw rate, otherwise they will charge you full price!

ONCE BOOKED, PLEASED WRITE BELOW TO CONFIRM AND, IF SHARING, WHO YOU'RE SHARING WITH - THANKS
 
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 LAN will be a great one, so book your place now to make sure you do not miss out!
 
Enjoy!
 
Note for International Travellers:

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. If you're eating dinner in the restaurant it costs around £20-£25 plus drinks. Others prefer to buy sandwiches, get burgers etc, stick to beer not wine etc.

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!
