[ The good ]

- Registration went smoothly
- Power was flawless (except for 1 table where some idiot kept knocking out the extension lead)
- Competitions were great and were run very efficiently
- Very helpful admins
- Fast network for most of the LAN with minimal downtime (downtime was due to the same idiot from above)
- Could hear the majority of the announcements
- COD4 players weren't too noisy
- Pizza ordering and processing went smoothly
- Great BBQ (as always)

[ The bad ]
- The people who come into the hall and move the reserved tags to other places, you are retards. Myself and several of my friends in a large group were split up into opposite ends of the hall because people moved the reserved seating tags to different places and we were told by Queenie and Sando to basically GTFO for someone elses mistake. In my opinion, the reserved seating system also needs to be reviewed. There needs to be some form of "buffering" so that people cannot book one or two seats in the middle of a massive row meaning that people in a large group cannot sit all in a row. Won't say too much about this as being moved around several times was very annoying to say the least.
- Was a bit cold near the back area towards Pings (doors were electronically locked open for Smokers etc..)
- The guy who brought a box of old pre year 2000 PC parts with him to sell to people to get money for a carton of cigarettes, you need to get a job. Also, stop going around to everyone over and over trying to get them to give you cash in hand for a paypal transfer of probably invalid funds. Seriously, what the f***.

I think the lack of fun games could have been due to steam not working for a large amount of users. I couldn't get onto steam for the whole event and have gta4, flat, etc with steam (steam was even a buggery for offline connect)

Only real issue I had was some inconsiderate 13 year olds who were setup near the toilets blasting music from there laptop at 4am when i was trying to sleep. Also the loud giggling/screaming/yelling and kicking of the big wooden folding doors was also immature and annoying. Especially when you've had minimal sleep from setup.

Also another note. People spending up/down union drive is concerning. Especially when I'm trying to help people with parking/answering car park 3 questions.

Overall, a good lan.
