oh lol.
Reminds of glasto last year

How secure & comfortable...

[AceRimmer]

Good luck!

[Coopsy]

sounds like a laugh tbh. I like bbq, beers and wow altho im a little worried about the "outside" + PC element to it

[planbgaming]

Hi all,

Yeah its in a sturdy marquee so not totally outside.  We are also checking people entering and leaving for tickets and have other security measures in place.

Apart from that its outdoor camping and BBQ fun!

...in a sturdy marquee...

Like I said, good luck 

[Coopsy]

tbh as long as the weather is good, it'd be a right laugh. if its not then :\

[sam]

Yeah security is a genuine issue, also the heat may be a real problem, I series lans get v warm and they are in a fucking huge airconditioned  hanger

[AceRimmer]

That's kind of what I meant.

As much as it'd be a really cool event to go to (BBQ and beers with mates is always good) - the LAN aspect of the event is far too dependant on the great British weather being mild. Any rain or hot weather could ruin things.

It's quite a risk trying to put on an event like this, and respect to you for going for it, I hope it all works out okay and turns out to be the great event that it has the potential to be.

There seems to be some sort of mistake. I've read through this list multip[le times, and I still can't see Halo PC on it :/

[Markopolo]

that's because it's shit...... apart from one map.

[Kiri]

WTF MARKO? It's the best game ever :/

[Coopsy]

i think its quite cool. but then im biased being a CPL pro and everything (EY CLEGGO HUH!)

[AceRimmer]

I believe you got *RIGHT ROYALLY FUCKED* in the 2nd round? :p
