LAN XXXVII Booking Thread

[Chaosphere]

READ CAREFULLY! THE BOOKING FORM HAS CHANGE (AGAIN)! :flirty:

7th to 10th of May 2020

How to book your place at LAN XXXVII -

• Call the Oliver Cromwell Hotel - 01354 602890 - book a room, mentioning that you are booking for the dMw LAN to get the reduced rates (see below).
  
• Complete THIS FORM. [/SIZE]Without this form, you have NOT booked your place at the LAN. If we fill up, someone could still steal your spot if they get this in before you!

With your room booked and the booking form completed, you have booked your room! I will add you to the list below!

A few of us are planning to get to the LAN on Wednesday night. Anyone is welcome to join us! This is a SOCIAL ONLY evening, with absolutely no gaming involved. The LAN room will NOT be available until we have set it up on Thursday morning. The LAN itself will start on Thursday afternoon.


The Booking Form
The idea here is to gather as much information as possible, as early as possible. Hopefully this cuts down on the number of forum threads needing to be checked and orders chased up in the build up to the LAN.

THE FORM HAS CHANGED SLIGHTLY. You are now required to login to a Google Account to complete the form. THIS ENABLES USER EDITING. This way, if you don't want to pick your steak order now, or want to check what you ordered the week before the LAN, you can go back and look at / edit your form! Editing will not be possible within the week prior to the LAN, but new brand new forms (for late sign-ups) can still be submitted.

Although the form is required to book your gaming place, you do NOT need to answer every question now if you don't want to - there is an option for 'Not sure yet' on the food sign up. Furthermore, it will still be possible to change orders if you change your mind down the road, just drop one of the LAN admins a line!

The more information we get at sign-up the better, but don't worry at all if you don't know what you want yet. We will chase you down in due time


The LAN
We hope to make it a great weekend for all. Kick off is Thursday afternoon, but don't fret if you can't make it til later! There is stuff going on all weekend.

The Oliver Cromwell Hotel 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


Room Costs
The hotel offers us the following reduced rates for the LAN -
Double room - £50 per night.
Twin room - £66 per night - this works out as £33 EACH when you share with a mate!


dMw Costs:
LAN ATTENDEES
Supporting Member:- £10 (this has not changed)
Non-Supporting Member:- £25 (this includes an automatic upgrade to Supporting Member status for one year)

SOCIAL ATTENDEES
Supporting Member:- £0 (this has not changed)
Non-Supporting Member:- £12 (this includes an automatic upgrade to Supporting Member status for one year)


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 at the event.


Please note that we have now included the LAN Disclaimer into the booking form. If you have any questions about this, please get in touch. You have not secured your LAN place until you have accepted the Disclaimer and completed the rest of the booking form it is attached to.

LAN booking is now open for all.

Keep in mind people that with the current COVID situation we really don't know if the LAN will go ahead or not. At the moment we are still planning the event, but with how things are escalating that could change within 10 minutes of me writing this post.

We will keep you all updated as best as possible.
