READ CAREFULLY!

THERE ARE CURRENTLY BOOKING ISSUES WITH THE HOTEL

IF YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH VIA PHONE PLEASE SEND A BOOKING REQUEST VIA THIS EMAIL -

receptionajs@yahoo.com

LET ME KNOW IF ANY FURTHER ISSUES - IF YOU DO NOT GET A REPLY ASSUME YOU ARE NOT YET BOOKED IN!



The Hotel is working under new management. Sadly this has led to room price increases. For now we are still being given the function room FOR FREE.

"As of this year, rooms will be charged at £76 a night as a flat rate"

THIS MEANS if you share with a buddy, you pay 1/2 of that each per night, but solo you pay the full whack.

Visit the ROOM SHARING thread to find a sleepover mate!

Can I also please draw your attention to this post -

Many of you may no longer be supporting members as all of the old subscriptions will no longer auto renew. When they run out of time, your membership will end.

If you wish to continue to chip in to the community, you will have to resubscribe via the new forum. If you have already done this you should be good!

Please do ask if you are unsure if you've got an active sub or not! There are still a few old subscriptions that have time left to run.

Do note that there is a discount to the LAN fee for supporters!


-------------------------------------


10th-13th October!


LAN 44!

A rough schedule will follow!

Sponsored beer (and cider) is back for this LAN!

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

Room Costs
As of this year, rooms will be charged at £76 for single occupancy (one person, one room), with NO change for double occupancy (two people, one room). Yes that means if you share with a friend you split it to £38 per night each!

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)

Hardware
PC and Monitor - 1 only. Don't forget your power cables!
Keyboard, Mouse, Mousepad.
Joystick, Xbox Controller, etc.
Headphones - no speakers!
Duct tape - to tape your cables down!
Ethernet Cable - Cat6, ideally 3m+ in case you are far from the switch.
Extension cord, preferably a 4-way (
:norty:) and surge protected.
Money - how else will you buy us beer?


There is a bar 10 yards from the LAN room, and a high-street (with a fine Kebab establishment) 20 yards away.

Please respect the arrangement we have had with them for many years and the relationship we have built.
Do not bring in drinks (particularly alcohol) from outside. There is a bar for that. Snacks and the odd salted seahorse latte from Costa are generally ok, but please bring such things in discretely (i.e. through the door leading directly to the LAN room, not via the public bar), and don't take the proverbial.

*Do not mess with another member's gear.

It might seem funny to screw around with someone's desktop as a joke, but the LAN room is not the place. Things can easily be taken the wrong way.

*Do not smoke in your hotel room, in proximity to it, or near the LAN room.

The hotel has a no smoking policy when in, or in proximity to, the rooms. Ignore this and face a hefty cleaning fee.

*The hotel has a strict no drugs policy, and the right to call the police should they find evidence of drug use on hotel grounds.

The use of such substances in the hotel or grounds is strictly forbidden.

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.

Seating:-
seating details will be released closer to 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.
