We've just received news that the long-awaited improvements to the internet connection at the venue have been installed and activated! 

The venue now has a 1Gbps line and we will be using part of the new connection for epic24.

We know this is really important to some of you attending epic24, so here are the real ale choices for the next event, as always from the local Kettering-based Potbelly Brewery. 

• Penalty Snout Out (4.0%) - New brew with Centennial, Simcoe and a good dose of Citra giving a hoppy flavoursome pale IPA
• Beijing Black (4.4%) - A strong dark mild, mild but not meek!
• Hedonism (4.5%) - A light coloured bitter with a citrus hoppy flavour, brewed to give a lifting but not overpowering flavour.
• S.O.S (6.66%) - Winner of Strong Ale Northants CAMRA 2016. Superb fruity flavoured deep red. 

Oh and of course the Rhubarb cider is back, it wouldn't be a summer LAN without it! 

Welcome back to GT Omega Racing! 

You'll be able to try out all the latest GT Omega Racing gaming chairs in the gallery at epic24 from Friday to Sunday, as well as one of their awesome racing cockpits! 

Plus, if you decide to buy while you're at the event, there'll be some great offers available for you on chairs and backpacks.

As pretty much everybody now knows, new data protection regulations (GDPR) come in to force on 25th May this year, and like every other business, we've been taking time to review what data we hold, and how we process it. 

GDPR actually doesn't bring around many major changes from the old Data Protection Act, so any organisations who had high standards before, won't have many changes to make ready to be compliant under the new rules.

Games developer, Coatsink will be sponsoring the epic24 pub quiz this June, which will now see a guaranteed £100 minimum prize. 

As one of the biggest activities taking place each epic.LAN, the pub quiz brings casual and competitive gamers together for a couple of hours of trivia, memes and of course beers. 

Thanks to Coatsink's support, the quiz prize pool will be locked in, meaning that your entry fees will all be donated to gaming charity, Special Effect.
