Ultra_Extreme · 20 Sep 2007 at 01:01

what station you comin from?

Ultra_Extreme · 20 Sep 2007 at 01:06

dont put in return date

Ultra_Extreme · 20 Sep 2007 at 01:06

try like 1 outward then once u get that get a second

Ultra_Extreme · 20 Sep 2007 at 01:16

just bring what you can, extension cords and switches/routers are often overlooked. Hopefully if this is a success we can invest more heavily in the future to provide more kit on site although we do have more than most peeeps

Ultra_Extreme · 20 Sep 2007 at 01:23

sounds good m8, if 2 monitors by train is too much of an ask then just try to bring one for yourself, save on shortages

I have 2 friends who are really interested in coming, both Xbox360 owners.
Could you please let me know how many spaces are left UE?

M8 until confirmations fill up its a free for all tbh only kreeee fully paid confirmation so far

im reserving spots for paulTSG and McD regaurdless as i speak to them more frequently also psymonkee cos i wouldnt pull the rug out after he's gone to all the trouble, but other than that it really is down to speed of action.

We have a total of:-

3 family rooms (sleep 3)
3 Twins rooms
3 doubles
1 flat for overspill will sleep a double or single + twin
1 single on its own

So far kreee and nokkon have a twin (or family if they add another), or nokkon could share with other 2 and someone else will share with kreee

Gotta get confirmations to make this stuff concrete, get onto paypal

I've been thinking and looking and then thinking again.

Getting down would be easy enough by train (leave Canterbury ~10:25am and arrive at Carmarthen ~16:45pm) only leaving the trip from the station to the hotel.

Getting back is a little bit more complicated. No trains Sunday afternoon/evening. I would need to do one of two things:
1) Get from the hotel to Carmarthen for a 2:40am train on Monday 12th,
OR
2) Leave early afternoon Saturday for a 15:00pm train back.

christ thats akward m8 why cant you go later on monday, surely you aint gonna work monday after that!!!

Ultra_Extreme · 21 Sep 2007 at 00:05

Psymonkee said:
Oh yeah is this all being done via PP etc or can we just pay at the hotel?

bar the deposit yeah pay at hotel m8. Cash preferred by the management but we take all the usuals.
