Breachlan journey to i38

[gemini]

The charge is for picking up the van yourself but leaving it at another depot. Thats what the £150 charge is for.

The theory behind taking a van would be that we would save the price of a few cars. If we aim for 10 people going down, the car arrangement would be something like 4 or 5 cars.

If we could have a van we could get away with two cars, so the price of renting the van and diesel would have to be lower than the price of three return journies across the country in the van. That's the theory.

Pretty borderline really aint it?

 

[gemini]

It depends. If it's about the same then both sides have ups and down.

With a van we have fewer drivers but a more complicated journey. Without we obviously dont have the risk of going there with somebody elses vehicle but we need more drivers.

anyone own a trailer?

 

[Deep Blue]

anyone own a trailer?

I wouldnt be putting anythning other than non breakables in a trailer

 

[ZeroG]

Trailers also limit speed

According to the multiplay website, it's i37 7th - 10th August.... what are you lot talking about?

 

[gemini]

It's too late for us to sort out a trip for i37.

There is no way we could get enough people paid up and sat together on time for the event.

I'm talking about i38, in October/November.

 

[Amesy]

Ah i see.

 

[gemini]

Bump.

We need at least one more person to be in as a driver before we even consider organising a trip. Dave did it last time.

The drive really isnt that bad. You just need to propperly prepare for it. This is something I do all the time and will happily help with should it be required.

Just contact me if you arent sure or are just thinking about it. I'l help make sure it all goes easy.

 

[Cerridwen]

Im Interested

 

[gemini]

UPDATE

We really need to start thinking about getting the ball rolling on this one if we are to sort out a trip.

Interested so far.

I know that the people I have marked as drivers are able to drive. So I will be contacting you all shortly (via PM) to confirm that you are definately interested in coming down, and will be prepared to commit to it by buying your ticket in early August. Then that you will be prepared to drive down and take other people and kit with you.

Fuel costs will be shared evenly amongst the group.

With the current list of people who have expressed an intrest, we will need FOUR CARS. If we can get just one more person interested, then we have a team of TEN Going and can enter either two tournaments, or have an A and a B team in one tournament.

Last time we entered the CoD4 tournament and although we got absolutely gubbed I think I speak for everyone when I say that we had a whale of a time getting gubbed.

At this time, anybody who can drive, and has a car but who I have not marked as a driver, then please contact me immediately if you would like to help the journey by driving some of us down. We will go in a convoy as we did last time taking regular enough breaks, (Including at the only KFC in Scotland that can stack a fillit tower burger propperly, or the bacon roll van of ABSOLUTE WIN)

We only need one more person to express an intrest (as driver or otherwise) to allow us a team of 10. If this happens then we can get a big group booking discount

If you are interested but not on the list, or are no longer interested then please post ASAP.

Thanks.

BUMP

Could DeepBlue and Dave please read / reply to PM's please.

Thanks.

 

[gemini]

As it stands at the minute, (3/4 drivers got back to me so far) it seems we could be in a good position journey wise.

DeepBlue has expressed an intrest with his Volvo XC70 and ScottishDragon with his Hyundai Getz. Combine that with my Mondeo and between the nine of us we easily have the capacity for all our equipment. A tenth player we COULD fit into the three cars. We will see how big the XC70 is at the pub lunch.

If anyone wants to be that tenth, now is the time to express an intrest.

***UPDATE***

If anyone is unsure about comitting, I will be comitting by buying my i38 ticket as soon as they become available after i37.

 

[MadmaN]

I loved every second of the lan so I am 100% in!!! by the time the lan comes the season should be finnished in my work so I should be free by then.

 

[gemini]

BUMP

I know I keep going on about this. But mabey it is time to expand the search for a tenth.

Do you know anyone who might be interested and who would make a good teammate ? Tell them about the trip. We might be able to get a nice trip going

Also, it has just become MORE IMPORTANT THAT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSABLE WHO ARE INTERESTED PAY AS SOON AS THE EVENT OPENS SIGNUPS.

I have information suggesting that the dates posted on the MPUK forums (and as a result, here) may not be entirely accurate due to negotiations with the venue.

As a result of this, to give us the best possable chance of sitting together as a group of ten we need as many people as possable to sign up and pay as QUICKLY as possable.

Not forgetting of course that early payments result in big discounts.

Signups and payments for i38 will open either during or immediately after i37 which is in two weeks. Keep an eye here and on the MPUK website for more information.

Thank you.

im still up for it and i can drive.
as for the tourneys though cod4 would be one i would have to say no to as im hoping to be in a team with some people i currently play with online. but its all for fun so i dont midn to much.
cod4 section or would we be seated seperately?

 

[gemini]

The hope would be that if we get ten of us from Breachlan travelling down, that the ten of us would then form two teams for a tournament. If anyone wants to come down with us to then splinter off to join another team, thats fine. As long as you let me know that is your intention.

Sinner what kind of car would you have for the journey. Make, Model, Age, Engine, Fuel etc.

 

[Sinner]

ford fiesta, 04 reg (one of the newer models), not that many miles for a car its age. only a 1.25 engine but it can drive a fair distance on a full tank

 

[ZeroG]

Not sure how soon after i37 I'll be able to pay for i38 as I have a lot of expenditure in the next couple months, I will have to see closer to the time.
