Not to steal anyones thunder in creating this thread and I'm quite happy for anyone to take over the OP and add info/links for the event but I have a few queries and there isn't a thread for 2017 yet so I made one!
So I missed out on a overnight stay ticket, seems they disappear within seconds. My nearest safe harbour is 1hr 30min drive away which is what I did last year. Biggest downside is no alcohol, and I have to leave early & arrive late. Costs less for the petrol than a nearby hotel for which I'd probably have to drive anyway.
Now I am undecided between "same again" and "camping option available soon". I'd have to buy/borrow a tent but it'd mean I could stay, drink and join in the earlier and later stuff which I missed last time.
Now my questions:
1) Lan tickets, can they be bought with day memberships, I kinda assume so since the stay overnight isn't on offer anymore but if I do go for my 1hr 30min drive away could I potentially use the lan ticket in conjunction with bronze day passes?
2) Organising/Volunteering, I assume the Hutton Truckers have it all sown up as they were so awesome last year and presumably will be the same again but if there's anything I can get involved with someone can fire me a PM and I'd be happy to help. If I did help out I'd aim to get a camping ticket and be there Fri afternoon to close of play sunday.
3) Events. Not sure if anything is still open on the agenda or anything that would fit nicely with what's already planned but I'd love to help out if anything is going off that I can get involved with, assuming I go LAN pass and bring my rig I could get involved in events as a participant in-game. Whatever really, I kinda dropped the ball on the whole overnight stay thing, those things vanished like a Thargoid into Witchspace.
4) Thoughts on my plan. I'm thinking at current either bronze day passes and drive out/in every day or go for camping + Lan. Very undecided tbh.
Anyway, definitely going to be there in some capacity assuming RL doesn't bite me.
