Edit- I've also made a post on reddit, any upvotes to help raise awareness would be muchly appreciated! -

EDIT - Updating OP with venue confirmation post



Hey guys, just got in from scouting out venues. Carpe Diem has agreed to host us, we'll have a side section of the bar with 2 nicely sized screens. I'll have to talk to them to sort out further details (basically let them know our full expectations) but all looks good!



Attendance is also looking good as I can probably get about 8 of my mates to go, then across TL & Reddit we have 18 people that have said they would like to go with 11+ maybes (including people that have said they might know other people that want to go). We're going to print some posters and leaflets and put them out across town and then see if we can get some of the Uni societies interested as well.



I know return travel is pretty dodgy for some of you guys and unfortunately we don't have room at our place (will be boarding some of those 8). Have looked at local hotels and if you book in advance Etap hotel looks decent at £25 a night (http://www.etaphotel.com/gb/home/index.shtml). The hotel is close to centre of town (15 - 20 min walk tops) and is on our way back so we can guide you there.



Any questions, advice, tips queries or concerns, are welcome!

EDIT 2 - Confirming Venue times / arrangements

"Hey all, sorry it's taken so long for me to update. My work has been seriously nuts lately and I haven't had much time to myself. In terms of how long we can stay open, Carpe Diem has a license that goes on until 1 am BUT whether they stay open depends entirely on how many of us there are / how much we're drinking. Having said this I've had interest from 70+ people so here's hoping we get at least half of that. Whilst on the subject, the room they have agreed to give us...

HOWEVER, IF WE CAN ENSURE A LARGE ENOUGH TURNOUT WE CAN GET MOVED TO THE MAIN PROJECTOR:

So basically the more people that show up, the higher the chance we get moved to projector and we can keep them open longer by having enough of us there still drinking. Personally I don't drink that much any more, however I've just bought a crate of cider from Tesco and I'm about to start training my tolerance back up =3



Also, as requested I've made a Facebook event page- http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=295299143820119





EDIT- Forgot to mention that if anyone needs helping getting in on the night I will have a mobile dedicated to taking calls from people who are lost/stuck etc. Also my mate who's helping me told me he had a big surprise for me, turns out he has made us both Barcraft t-shirts with his poster on them so you won't have trouble spotting us on the night haha!" Hi all, I'm looking to organise a Barcraft in Leeds for MLG Orlando. I'm being conservative and aiming to do it just for the last day (finals) on the 16th October. I want to approach venues quite soon but before doing so would want to know roughly how many of you fine TL'ers might show up? The schedule hasn't been realeased yet for Orlando but I'm working off of past MLGs and time zones it should be 4pm - 10pm+.Edit- I've also made a post on reddit, any upvotes to help raise awareness would be muchly appreciated! - http://www.reddit.com/r/BarCraft/comments/kivr0/interest_in_a_leeds_uk_barcraft/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We don't know until we try, would be great to have you come along =)



So far that's 5 people expressing interest here and 1 on Reddit. Would any of you that didn't know about London barcraft be tempted to go that one instead? Also if you did come along to this one, would you have any mates that you think would be up for going? If I can drag along everyone here I could potentially bring around 6 people. Ideally I'd love to have 15+ people likely to show up but we'll see ^^

WarheadsByLink Profile Joined May 2010 United Kingdom 75 Posts #15 Getting quite a lot of interest now (best case scenarios have 15+ people) so me and my mate will start approaching venues over next few days and get across to them how awesome Barcraft is and why they need it ^^

Actually I live near Birmingham as well. I think it's a great idea... I am interested... a bit far though and I'm not sure if I'll be able to go that day.



The final is on 16th October, isn't it?

Baz Profile Blog Joined May 2010 United Kingdom 289 Posts Last Edited: 2011-09-19 11:23:51 #18 I would 100% attend, and likely bring a couple of non-starcraft fans along aswell to try get them into it all!



Also, we recently got together with some people on battle net by joining the "Leeds" channel, not been so active in the last few days but the first couple of days it was quite active and fun to be involved in (we had a few KOTH games and talked about a potential barcraft event). So come join the Leeds channel whenever you log onto bnet
