The event will take place on Saturday 17th September and Sunday 18th September and will cost 47.50 GBP (British Pounds Sterling) per person for both days. Players can bring sleeping bags and crash out on the floor of the venue itself, saving them the extra cost of accommodation on the Saturday night, or make use of the local Premier Inn (at additional player expense) just down the road for those looking for a place on the Friday night or for more comfortable accommodation on the Saturday. Unfortunately for legal reasons there is an age restriction; all players must be 18 or over by Saturday 17th September 2011. All players will need to bring their own PCs with relevant peripherals including a monitor, keyboard and mouse, a long CAT 5e network cable (20m minimum) and headphones. A full kit list is provided within the Questions Forum. A special forum section has been created for those confirmed as attending to address travel and accomodation arrangements prior to the event. Note that we are not offering PC hire, and unfortunately due to the restrictions of the venue there will be no free internet/wi-fi access available. A 3G dongle connection is recommended.
