- PC Game
-
- If you think you have/are writing the next killer PC game then contact me

- ([- 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.

- 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.
