Thanks to all who attended as well as LanFuel for the food, the venue staff. Some cracking games and good laughs - a good end to the LAN year. Pictures will be uploaded soon (dot tm). We have a feedback form here.
But wait there's more - You can now book your tickets for LanOps 34 and LanOps 35
Don't forget to drop in our Discord or Teamspeak (ts.lanops.co.uk) server for more gaming fun over the Christmas period.
...We have had a few website features.
News Comments, tags and shares are now available.
A Lan Calendar on the front page for easy use.
A Poll System for voting.
With that said we are currently in the middle of a server migration. Hopefully everything will be done off peak but join our discord for all status updates!
Official door opening time is 4pm* Friday.
We know how eager you all are though, and appreciate that some book the day off to travel and catch up with friends.
*We'd hate to turn anyone away who arrives before 4pm, so the doors will be open sooner (usually 12ish).*
It is possible we may still be laying cables around and under desks before 4pm, so ask attendees to please not bring in and set up rigs until staff have completed the setup of the LAN. We are sure you can understand this is for our ease, speed, and safety of all.
Once the cables are laid, you will be welcome to setup your rigs and get updating the mandatory Friday LAN Steam update.
P.S.
People who show up early may become LAN minions and asked to help out.

That's all for this year! Big thank you to all who attended and all who helped out. We will be back in the new year. Stay tuned for updates!
...First off we would like to say Happy New Year all!
Now down too business... We have migrated and updated the servers and website. Let us know if you have any problems.
As the title says LanOps 37 is now live! Get your tickets now @ https://lanops.co.uk/events/lanops-37
...As many of you will have heard the concerns over the virus, we are asking that our attendees do their part as we try our best to do ours.
LanOps 37 this coming weekend is going ahead. We have some antibacterial wipes and are trying to get some anti-bacterial hand gel too. Though the latter seems to be in very short supply.
Already, we have had attendees respectfully withdraw from the LAN as they are ill - no confirmed cases of CoronaVirus! We respect this and will honour their ticket at a future event.
If there are any other attendees showing any symptoms, especially those who have traveled, please let us know. We will honour the same agreement and you may use your ticket at another event. Simply drop a message to Storm, Thorno, Rebel, or Kayo via discord or facebook. It will be confidential and we will not ask any questions.
As unlikely as it is that any of you will have it, and as unlikely as it is that any of us will come to any harm from it, we are still taking these precautions to do what we can to look after the health and well-being of the community and those close to them.
If anyone does have any hand gel, you are more than welcome to bring and use it. If anyone has any surplus to share, that would be more than awesome. We will buy it or trade for breakfasts.
Thank you all for your understanding,
The LanOps Team
To the surprise to no one I’m sure, we are unfortunately going to have to shelve LanOps 38 and Tableops 2 for the time being.
Once the lockdown is over, we will be contacting the venue to see about rescheduling all of the events to space them out over the remainder of 2020.
Tickets will be carried carried over but If you have already booked and would prefer a refund please get in touch.
...There are some changes to the TImetable - We will now be running a Pub Quiz on Saturday Night as well as a few weekend long Challenges; Trackmania and Dark Souls!

Surviving
an All-Nighter at LanOps.
Attending a Bring Your Own Computer event like
LanOps which is a weekend marathon gaming session, some choose not to sleep to
make the most of the LAN Party. But to pull off an all-nighter can be a
significant challenge on your body and mind. Using neuroscientist studies on volunteers
who stayed awake for a prolonged period our club’s researchers have devised a
way to survive the night and what to expect if you decide to stay up all night gaming.
