After a number of applications and interviews. We're proud to announce the arrival of Hg to the team.

Hg will be joining us ready to help out with epic.THREE, particularly working on some of the big games, fun tournaments and event content, as well as helping out with the online community activities, such as our regular games nights.

On joining the team, Tim said, "I'm sure I will enjoy the role and enjoy working with the current epic.team as they are already friends."

"I applied for this role as I have made some great friends in the epic.community and I have enjoyed myself at all the epic events and lately online during epic.Tuesdays and of course in IRC.
As such I wanted to make sure this is same for all members of the community, ensuring they enjoy epic and what it has to offer!"

We all look forward to working with Hg for epic.THREE and beyond.

An opportunity has arisen for a member of the community to join the epic.LAN team in time for our next event, epic.THREE at the end of the month.

We're looking for a keen member of the epic.LAN community (you must have attended our events previously) to join in helping out both at our events and with our online activities.

The work is all voluntary, but there are plenty of other benefits, including being a part of a great team and a fast-growing exciting community, not to mention the benefits for your CV for both the voluntary and technical aspects of taking part in the events.

So we're looking for applications from people with suitable skills to be a part of that team. A good gaming knowledge and a basic technical knowledge for diagnosis of simple networking problems is required and of course you need to be able to work as part of a team. Creative skills inolving sound/video/photography or graphic design are always beneficial to the team, but not essential.

To apply, send an email to winbar@epiclan.co.uk detailing why you think you would be suitable for the role. Your email can be text based, or you could show off your skills in some other way such as an image or short video clip if you want to be a bit more creative. As the next is event is closing in quickly, the deadline for applications is 12noon, Saturday 13th February, with shortlisting and online interviews taking place Sunday 14th & Monday 15th in the evening. Obviously you will need to be available for epic.THREE to apply.

Good luck!

For people who are new to our events, it's always useful to be able to put names to faces when you get there, so that you know who to ask for assistance.

So we've put together a few mugshots of the team members to help you out! Take a look at our Meet the Team page to find out more.

Not long to go now until team epic.LAN heads over to the world's biggest computer festival, Dreamhack in Sweden. Last winter over 10,000 people were checked into the event which encompasses not only gaming, but programming, music, design...in fact anything involving a computer.

Winbar, Saboo & Murray-Mint will be making the epic journey from Wednesday 26th through to Sunday 29th November and we'll be keeping you up to date throughout with regular blog updates to the website from all three members of the team and also on the epic.LAN Twitter. We'll make sure we upload plenty of photos and video clips where possible too, ready to inspire more of you to join us on the trip next year!

For those who enjoy LAN parties, this one is a must! It's a totally different style event to anything that happens in the UK, but really does aim to encourage a festival atmosphere...with computers.

Watch this space for the team coverage, starting right at the beginning of the journey from around 4am on Wednesday 26th November!
