Sign-ups are now open for StratLAN summer party 2012!

For those of you who haven’t been to a StratLAN event before, it’s the heart of our social gaming. With the whole lan often playing the same game, it’s very easy to make new friends at a StratLAN event, and it’s not just for regular members of our community!

StratLAN Summer Party 2012 is being held at Stratford Upon Avon Racecource from 6pm on Thursday 19th – Monday 23rd July. With Space for 110 people make sure you book your ticket fast to avoid disappointment.

StratLAN has a new 60Mb ‘net connection which can handle 110 people with ease, just be sure to update your steam before you get to the event

What will be happening at StratLAN Summer you ask? Well let us tell you…

Red Vs Blue. Now a regular at StratLAN summer Parties RvB is half the LAN vs half the LAN, playing against each other in a range of games from TF2 to SC2. Get ready for some pwnage and this will get messy!

More Big Games. It’s often something that people feed back to us, and we try very hard to ensure that we get as many big games sorted as we can. However, we are going to be putting more time & effort into making sure that we have more big matches of the games you want to play. Games on the radar so far include TF2, Blur, BF3, CSS, COD4 and UT2k4, but we will add whatever games people want to play!

Hangover Breakfast. It’s not unheard of that the occasional gamer will have a tipple of the good stuff during an evening of SLAN, and as a result can feel slightly “worse for wear” the following morning. But this cannot affect the days gaming! The answer? Bacon. Multiplay to the rescue! We will be putting on cooked Bacon breakfast baps for weary gamers each morning, to help you start your day of gaming right.

Summer BBQ’s. We will be cooking BBQ’s on the Friday and the Sunday, £6 a day for the finest burgers, sausages and Chinese pork loin! To add BBQ’s to your ticket simply add it on as an additional service on ticket booking page.

Console & Chillout Area. A big, proper, dedicated chill out area for watching films, TV, playing console games or catching up on something sad on TV on Saturday night.

Tuck Shop. The tuck shop is back to SLAN after some time away, but it won’t be anything like the size of the iSeries tuck shop! With some cans & snacks on offer, there will be enough to get you through between meals.

PC and Monitor Rentals available. If you are coming from afar and can’t bring your PC or monitor then why not rent one from us? i7 machine and 22″ monitors are available to hire.

Dear mighty SLAN goers,

I regretfully inform you that summer SLAN is now over.  *sadface*

We had some great times together.  The mighty Blue Skulls rightfully dominated the feeble Red Battleaxes in mostly honourable combat.  Large swathes of the population were decimated by werewolves (Why do we always go back to Gayden?).  And muchos meat was eaten at the BBQ’s of win (Hopefully not human…).

It’s not up to us though, we want to know what you awesome people think.  Be it good, bad or downright ugly we’d love you to post your feedback.

SLAN is not lost forever, it shall be returning in October for another long weekend of WINNING!  Even better you can grab your shiny, shiny ticket right now from our Tickets page.

Alas I must now depart, a week of sleep beckons me.  Farewell my friends. See you at the next one!
