Oh yes, That's right!
Signups for the next FatBoyLAN Padworth, FBL-P9 event are now open. The LAN will run from 20:00 on the 20th of April right through until 18:00 on the 22nd.
Why P9? Well the summer event was still technically P8, but we called it Summer 2006 or something. We don't like to get confused, and counting is too hard, so this is FBL-P9
It has indeed been a very long time since the last FBL, so let's make this one go with a bang to make up for it!
Now I know a LOT of you will be thinking that date sounds familiar. That's because it clashes with BugAlugs' 30th Birthday Weekend. Allow me to explain.
We have had the hall booked for months. Before Jay announced his shindig. However, we've been waiting for some issues with the hall to be cleared up before we announced. We now cannot un-book the hall. If we did, we'd still have to pay and we really can't afford to lose that much money. FBL turns no profit as most of you know, so it'd have to be funded out of our own pockets.
I personally am gutted that I'll be missing Jay's birthday, as I know are other FBL staff. I can only apologise that it turned out this way, but there's nothing we can do without losing a lot of money. I really hope Jay gets the attendance at his party that he wants and deserves, and that we don't take anyone away who was planning to go.
One big change for this event unfortunately is a change of circumstances at the hall. Due to an insanely large amount of vandalism at the hall from local idiots, the committee took a decision to move a Caretaker on-site permanently. He now has a flat in the Westbury Committee room, commonly referred to as the Sleeping Room. This of course means we have a little less space than normal. We do have both shower rooms available all weekend for sleeping, with no footballers coming in and disturbing, so that will make things easier. However, by far the best way to sleep now at FBL will be in a tent. I repeat please please camp at this FBL if you can. We may only open one shower room for sleeping to allow for showererers in the morning, so assume that space will be very limited (and cold and hard).
With those two bits of unfortunate news out of the way - here's what you can expect from the lan:
- 46 hours of great gaming with some actual organisation :o
- The great party atmosphere you've come to expect from an FBL, especially on the Friday night
- Music, Movies, Big Screen games, GeeDee naked
- Very fast selling tickets - only 28 participant places!
The cost of the event is £25, £5 more than previous events due to increased hall costs. From my limited research, that still makes us one of the cheapest LANs in the UK, it won't break the bank.
Don't forget you can now pay for the events directly on the website. Just follow the prompts during the signup process to do so, or you can sign up then come back to pay at your leisure on the "View Bookings" page under Edit Account.
Once you've paid for your place online, your status will automatically be updated on the website to Paid and you can go right ahead and pick yourself a seat.
If you do not wish to pay online, then simply complete the signup process as usual; but don't follow the online payments link. We still accept payment by PayPal to giles@fatboylan.co.uk (PayPal payments are subject to a £1 surcharge), direct bank transfer (contact GeeDee for account info), cheque or cash prior to the event.
