SouthWest LANs are proud to present our first LAN of 2011... LeachLAN 7!

Quick Info
Name: LeachLAN 7

Where: Westwoods Centre, Northleach
Cost: £35 before Feburary 14th, £40 thereafter. Book Here (http://www.swlans.co.uk/booking/)

Event Features
On-Site Bar. (Reasonably priced, roughly £2 a pint)
Male & Female toilets and showers.
Disabled access is available throughout the entire venue.
On-site camping for approximately 80 people.
ADSL Internet access.
FREE Wireless access for all participants.
FREE BBQ on Friday night.
Pub Quiz Saturday Night!
Loads of fun tournaments.

What is LeachLAN?
Being a social LAN, LeachLAN 7 is a great place to meet up with friends and chill out over a weekend with some fun, relaxing gaming. Open up some of the old classics, such as UT2004 and Supreme commander - but do not think that more recent games will be left untouched as more recent games such as Monday Night Combat and Magika will also be played. Being on a LAN also allows for a lot of larger games and there is no better experience than taking part in big games like Team Fortress 2, Armagetron or some Supreme Commander which will be organised throughout the weekend.

For the more competitive gamer there will also be a number of fun tournaments, where you can play against fellow attendees for the chance of LAN Glory. You could also win a few prizes along the way! The tournaments will be chosen by attendees of the event using our usual polling system on the forums to ensure you get the games you would like to play!

On the social side of things, there will be a FREE BBQ, the return of the PUB QUIZ or you can chillout with your mates in in our social gaming area. There will also be many more opportunities to socialise with fellow gamers over the weekend!

Bring a newb?
You may have heard about our new bring a newb scheme that we introduced at LeachLAN 4, this scheme allows anyone who is signed up and paid for LeachLAN 7, to bring a friend who has not been before, for a fiver! It proved to be a great success, and has returned for this event!

There are 10 "newb spaces" for this event, and they are available on a first come, first served basis! To find out more about "bring a newb", please see the LeachLAN 7 bring a newb post! (http://www.swlans.co.uk/2011/02/leachlan-7-bring-a-newb-for-a-fiver/)

How much?
The event itself costs £35 for a BYOC space if you book before 14th February and will be £40 thereafter

Spectator entrance fee is £5 per day or £10 for the entire weekend.

Do eet.

I kinda wanted to get it before the 14th, so I would only spend £40 rather than £45, but a fiver's not much difference :)

Kiliv
13th February 2011, 01:35 PM

Vicious Horizon

I assume that the additional network cable for a £5 is the ethernet cable you use,

Actually Morgyn, can you clear that up;

Is the Additional Network Cable for (for example) if I were to take a Laptop alongside my Main PC,

or is it for the Ethernet cable I use for the one computer I'll bring

Would love to go, but uni work and other stuff will prevent me. I'm still looking at going to i43 though.

Morgyn

Hi Guys,

Sorry my subscription didn' t tell me you'd asked a question, appologies!


Is the Additional Network Cable for (for example) if I were to take a Laptop alongside my Main PC,
^^ yes, you get an included network cable for your main pc, it's only if you require an additional one. With free wifi tho that shouldn't be an issue =)

Also discount runs out midnight tonight!

Thanks, Morgyn

A private peer to peer connection is fine (for a NAS or 2 machines you own), NAT however is not allowed

Kiliv
14th February 2011, 09:03 PM
Morgyn, is it ok if i invite ppl from my eve alliance/

Morgyn
14th February 2011, 09:19 PM
@Kiliv: Invite away, more the merrier.

The only thing to be aware of, even tho we do allow MMO game traffic out, we only have a single ADSL connection. So I can't guarantee you'll be able to play without lag at all times ;D

Vicious Horizon
14th February 2011, 09:27 PM
Right, I'll only be there for 2 and a half days, 'cause I have college on the Friday (albeit a 'study week'), slightly inconvenient, but just gives me more time to get prepared to pwn you all with my 1337 skittles.
