It's a little warm here in Staffordshire as we get ready for epic.NINE. As it's pretty much impossible to air condition a LAN party, the best we can do is try to force plenty of air through the room.

To help that, as we're under-capacity for the event, we're going to allow you to bring small, low-powered desk fans once again. However, we need to limit this to one per table, so you'll need to share with the people next to you.

Obviously we'll monitor the power situation and always reserve the right to say no if they draw too much power.

The temperature levels will also mean that we'll need to keep the main doors open at key times, if you're sitting near to the doors, please be patient with us as while your temperature may be OK, the centres of the rooms may not be!

In case it is a warm weekend, we are going to permit small desk fans on a trial basis at epic.SIX, allowing up to one per table (i.e. shared between 2 people). We will monitor the power situation to ensure it remains stable with the fans running.

Please come prepared for a warm venue!
