Greeting All!

Upon arrival, please Sign in, we have a huge RV poster for all to scribble on :-) + please help yourself to a little freebie pack

If you have booked food for the weekend please see me for food tokens. Just present them at the bar to get food. There is no set time for food this year. Please see below for start time, then just make sure you grab something in those times.

Hi Markie,

Looking forward to it.

One small thing though, some people won a ticket to 2008 at the raffle in 2007 (I think there was 3 of them?). I know of one (MugUK) who is not on the list, are they included in the 80 or ?

Thanks,
Stephen.

just had an idea (Christ help us

) you know how everyone brings there ds's psp's along to the event and we have projectors going.

When i was at the Edinburgh games festival yesterday looking at a game called race driver there was a port or device for the projector and the ds connected to from a usb port or something to project the game from the ds to the projection screen.

the idea is if it is cost effective get one of those so that there can be big games of Mario karts for a tourney

Well just an idea

Well just an idea

We are planning to have 3 projectors at RV2008 .... certainly one of them will be for free / changeable use.

Best advice on this issue is to contact Rob (psychorob) as he's the wires and gadget guru on this side of things.

But it sounds fun! and so we shall try and make it happen.
