I don't live in the UK, so I really have no clue, but I googled it and this link came up with something called Reality X. Actually, digging in further it seems to be a internet cafe, not a lan party, but you could probably organize one there or something.

 

found that a few months back mate and it has shut down.

Host you own tbh, just clear out your whole house

 

my parents live with me..and i dnt have anywhere to put all the stuff and no1 would come except my mates and we do that anyway.

Your parents live with you or you live with your parents?

Hosting your own LAN seems to be your only option. You could rent somewhere for the night of find a friend with a large room (you could even hold it in a garage). If you publicize the event, you could charge a small fee at the door to pay for costs.

 

the only BIG Lan Games i no in the UK is one in Reading.. which i think is south from you.. (dont really no where durham is) the website can be found here hope it helps somewhat

 

Durham is above Yorkshire.

One in the north-west - http://www.directlanco.co.uk/, one in reading as mentioned, and one in Southampton - http://www.thebiggame.org/ only if you're willing to travel all the way down south. Good thing about this is that sometimes its literally round the corner from my house!

 

doesn't HK or one of the other bit members run the reading lan?

 

A different one than that, one at the university: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=67898

And I believe Reading is a while away from Durham (peeking at google maps).

 

I attend every BLR event up here in Middlesbrough, have done for years now..

Just awaiting a venue for the next, october time i would imagine.

 

yeah was gonna say bad lan, i won a keyring last time lol w00t!

 

Which event?

been to about 5 now, Only won a mousemat which was about 4ft long, and obviously got my dogtags due to signing up within an hour of anouncement

Were you at the last one?

 

2003 october time i think it was, I only won a keyring coz my machin is called "l337-machine" lol

 

2003, cant remember if they were held in the MCC or the highfield back then, two year ago is a long time gone!
Coming to the next?

 

was in marton hotel, me and some m8s should be comming to the next one yeah

 

Good stuff, when the event gets closer should give you a shout and we can arange something, or you could just look out for the sqs lads at the event, normaly drinking uncopius amounts of redbull, playing Q2 and only moving for the toilet

 

yeah i will be goin to the next one aswell hopefully, sounds good...what are the venue's like? cos i hate gaming in tacky dirty place lol

Held in a big function room in there, they do rooms for weekend with deals too as sleeping on the floor is a no no unless you pass out or you're an admin hiding beneath a hub.

Always good fun,

 

last time i was there, apparently the floor got scratch'd to hell. and they had to get a carpet or something put down. what happen'd about that do u know?
