Greeting All!

Only a week to go and I thought I'd post a update to bring you all up to speed.

Remember parking is CRAP! ... please check ahead for any parking issues or needs. There is fuck all parking at the pub as their carpark is normally full of vans.

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.

As for 'Whats On' ... here is the final list (subject to panic and alteration at any point) -

Thursday - Setup - YakYakers welcome to come along.
Friday - 12 Noon - 1am - PsychoRobs Game Zone, Exotica from noon + WorldOwonder and Starship Zone from 5pm. Raffle called at 9pm.
Saturday - 12 Noon - 1am - AS FRIDAY + Kenz Binary Zone. CURRY FROM 6pm - 7.30pm. Raffle called at 9pm + DJ Skitz bringing a massive c64 and Amiga remix session.
Sunday - 12 Noon - 6pm - BINARY ZONE DAY + PsychoRobs zone in full! + LlamaTronics Circuit Benders. ROAST FROM 12 MIDDAY - 2pm!! Binary Lucky Draw called at 3pm AND those staying Sunday night and have booked in for the curry we will be leaving the pub at 7.20pm - 5 minute walk to the curry house. Then back to the pub for a couple a pints after.

Finally, please do drink lots! Our record for drinks total is £2,650! Lets do our best to beat that this year .... ;-)

Any problems please PM me NOW! and I'll see what I can do. Please DO NOT PM me after Wednesday - as I'm going to be a tad busy ;-)

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 :D) 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 :D :twisted:

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.
