Title: Impromptue LAN weekend?
Post by: FUBAR on April 19, 2013, 11:53:21 am

My Folks are going on holiday in May and (although I haven't mentioned thi to them yet) I was wondering if people fancy a sort of LAN /film/BBQ weekend over the 11th / 12th May?

This would be at their house not mine so the net connection is ok and there's the Garden for the Dog and to have a BBQ on the Saturday night.

It would be a Late start friday because of the short notice and nobody having the time off etc.

what do you think?  I can probably wangle this seeing as i'm dog-sitting for 2 weeks if ppl are interested.

I think we'll just do an afternoon BBQ / films etc on this saturday.  I've checked with the folks and they're happy, so if you can make it stick it in your diaries & i'll check times etc closer to the day when we know the weather forecast.

i'm up for a LAN as well if you want too, we can play some games inbetween the bbq / sun? etc. if Ian/vicky are up for it as well after they get back
Just a good excuse for you guys to play a few games.

we can leave it "open" if you like until the weather forecasts come in, if its Rain & Thunderstruck , LAN. And if its Sun, Beers 'n' BBQ + Films

I am organising a Gathering on Saturday 11th May definately, whether we have a sort of mini LAN for the weekend depends on the weather really,  if its like it is at the moment then we will have an afternoon BBQ in the sun, a nice chill-out and watch some films etc in the evening.

If its crap we'll have a Mini-LAN fest.

Jo, of course you 2 are very welcome to stay over saturday night regardless.

Edit: At my folks house of course.

Right ok,

As it stands, given the circumstances we will definately not be having a LAN this weekend.  Also the weather reports for Saturday are not good at all with rain & high winds forecast so I'm going to cancel the afternoon BBQ plans as well.

If anyone fancies coming over to watch a film or 2 we can still do that but it may as well be at mine rather than the folks place and we could get some Pizzas in or something?
