If demand is there then an Amiga and PC intro competition will also be
held, expect updated info on that in the near future.

Remember this is the UK, there are not that many talented scene people here
so give it a go.  (easy money...)


                              ([- 4 -])
                               Prizes

Well, prizes will all be determined by the number of people coming to the
party - so the more people we get, the more money >you< get, and the more
fun we can all have.  So bring your friends, pets, contactz, parents,
and fish with you.

I'm intending to cover the costs of hiring the building etc... but this is
a non-profit party (yeah really....) so all surplus money will be ploughed
into the prizes.

This party is intended to try to show the rest of the world that the UK can
supply quality products and is not just known for older, dead groups.


                              ([- 5 -])
                               Travel

The University of Warwick is situated between Leamington Spa and Coventry
(near Kenilworth)  it's marked on all major road maps and lies on the A429.

The Gibbet Hill refectory is (surprisingly enough) on the Gibbet Hill site
of the campus and is well signposted from the University itself.


Foot:  
       From the University Bus stop follow the signs for about 5 minutes
       walk to the refectory, or alternatively ask to be dropped off at the
       Gibbet Hill site.

Car:   
       The university is easily accessible from: M40, M42, M1, M45 and the
       A46.  Once you reach the A46, head for the A429.  (Kirby Corner and
       Westwood Heath are both roads to keep an eye out for.)

       Parking is free and there will be more than enough spaces for
       everyone.

Buses: 
       The X12, 112, and 12 will all drop you off at the University central 
       campus (ask the driver, depending upon which bus you get you may be 
       able to get off at Gibbet Hill)

       Both of these buses visit Coventry (Bus stop is near the Pizza Hut)
       and Leamington (bus goes from opposite the Church)

       The fare is about 50 pence from Coventry, 1 pound from Leamington
       Spa.

Train:
       Both Leamington Spa and Coventry have train stations and are on a
       major line from London.  The bus stop at Coventry Station is located
       on the bridge you can see from the platform.  Leamington Spa bus
       stop is a 2 minute walk for the station, ask for directions.

Air:
       Brimingham International Airport is a 12 minute train journey away
       from Coventry.

Sea:
       Harwich port has good rail links to the rest of the country and
       Coventry.

                               Voting

Voting sheets will be given to you as you arrive, votes will be logged on
computer and then displayed.  Your handle will also be displayed along with
your ticket number so NO CHEATING should be possible.  (Voting data will be
available to everyone at the end of the party if they want it)

                              Facilities

Profesional electritions will be setting up power supplies so there should
