That's 29 miles closer to me than Banbury is...Problem - they live in Knucklas.

And the road to Banbury is motorway all the way. The roads in Wales are all single track with cattle grids, aren't they?Which cuts your total journey distance down by about 0.03%, right?

Just had a chat with Exelero and you can count the pair of us coming to the lan. We wouldn't mind hosting the lan in good old newark either, so at least there is one pretty much guarenteed location
Spec....
Anyhow, Exelero and Spec have already offered Newark. So that's the venue set: oi, Cass, I claim your spare bedroom. (Touche - got you back! Kevin the Gerbil, my bottom. )

No. I have no preferred location. I'll have a 3 or 4 hour drive no matter where it is.I'm guessing we've got another vote for banbury then as a preferred location?
I'd go on a 300 mile round trip the day before.Even if it's in your house?
Most of it is nice. Not the bit I live in though...I've got no problem with going to Scotland. I've still never been. I hear it's quite nice up there.

Hey Exelero, have you beaten Spec up yet for making such wild suggestions? If he said he was going to host it, let him do it.
I thought it was fun, organising it at Banbury. As I said, no problem for October. But May, unless we go out of town, it's a bugger. Costs for Gaydon still same.
People still owe me money, actually. You know who you are, lurkers. Better have your wallets ready at the Nono.
You know, something sounds good to me about Lincolnshire, doesn't it to you? Just say it..Linc-oln-shire. Mmm...doesn't that sound good?

Find a venue and it'll sound wonderful.
I'm sure I can find a couple of venues in daventry. Tesco would be nearby aswell as greggs, mcadonalds a short walk etc.
All we need is:
That's all the venue organiser should ensure. Any extras are entirely down to their fiat (or Aston)
- Space for three sets of three standard school tables long by three standard school tables wide.
- Nine standard school tables or equivalents.
- Plentiful power points.
- £10 per person per day (or less) for 15 people - 15 is an ideal set for races, getting cheaper as more people join up. So no more than £300 for venue hire.
- Safeish car parking.
- Secure area - so that equipment can be locked away overnight and there's no chance of invasion from curious feckless chavlets.
- Food included is good. Otherwise, local amenities for getting food is a must.
Who are these "nice people"?why bring these nice people to this drag of a town?
I never cussed the venue... Newark itself, on the other hand...
As for Lincoln Uni - if you think we'll be safe from the rampaging hordes of jocks, neo-communists and debating society gonks, go for it
Since the Dutch LAN is May Day weekend, we'll aim for Spring Bank Hollibobs weekend (Sat 24th - Mon 26th, I think)
