Hi everybody

I run NEWI Computing Society in Wrexham, North Wales and we've got a LAN on Saturday the 1st of March 2008 in the Student Union/Guild. We have seating for 30 gamers with PCs or Laptops. Due to the LAN being in the Student Union/Guild we are forced to say, over 18s only to keep the manager happy!

Where: NEWI Student Union/Guild, LL11 2AW, 20mins from Chester (A55), Walking distance from the train station, just off the A483.

Entry: Students: £1.50, Non-Students: £2

Games
UT2004, COD2, BF2, RTCW, CS:S, FarCry....most of our members have laptops so arent able to play the best, fastest, newest games.....hence the fairly old ones - but to be honest their the best ones!

Usual rules, bring your own PC, 4 way power extension, headphones etc We also ask people who are interested to register first because for security reasons. No software piracy/file sharing etc, no liquids by the equipment unless there in a capped bottle.

I know a couple of LANs that run on 5500s, not exactly pushing them to their limits :). Best of luck with the LAN!
