Introduction:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Thats right!  Tesko is proud to present a decent UK party at last!
The party was due to be held in October this year, however, Silk/Ex Dtl
told me he had every intention of holding a party this year so I slowed
down my plans AND cancelled the provisional date I had booked with the venue.
The very same day, I checked my email and Silk told me he had scrapped his
party plans!!!! "Arse!" - I thought!

Where Is The Party?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The Party is to be held in Morecambe, in the North West of England.
The Venue itself is called "The Superdome", which is a large Dome shaped
building on the Promenade.

Morecambe is close to Lancaster, Preston and Manchester.

Morecambe is also a seaside resort, which means that theres the following:

 * Arcades
 * Bowling Alley
 * Drive Thru Burger King
 * Shops
   And much more, all close by!

"The Morecambe Tourist Board" has kindly agreed to sponser the event by
paying for the venue, so for all you long travellers, why not stop the
night in Morecambe.  Theres lots of Hotels and Bed+Breakfasts open and
prices start around 10 UKPounds per night.  Please consider staying over,
as this event would not have been possible without the Tourist Board's
help.

For more information on Hotels/B+B's, telephone Morecambe Tourism on: 
+44 (0)1524 xxxxxx and remember to tell them that your coming to the
"Computer Conference!" :)

Baked Bean Drinking (1 Pint)
Extra Strong Mints Eating, followed by a PINT of water - Ouch :)
Karaeoki (Ear plugs NOT included!)
DJ'ing.

Voting:
-=-=-=-

When you arrive at the party, you will be given a voting sheet, which you
will be to keep for later on.  When the competition entries have been
played/shown, you will need to fill in the relevant sections with your
votes.  The votes will be counted by Tesko, with an independant adjudicator
picked at random from the crowd to ensure "fair play".

The winner of The Baked Bean and The Extra Strong Mint compo's will be
the first person to complete the task.  The items MUST be completely
eaten, and the entrants mouth EMPTY!

The Winner of the karaeoki will be voted for by the crowd, as will the 
DJ.  This can be awarded for best set, or maybe for DJ skill, it is upto
the crowd to decide.

Prizes:
-=-=-=-

As stated above, the Venue has been kindly paid for by Morecambe Tourism.
This means that Tesko does not have to use ticket/door money to pay for
the venue.  Now for our slightly slower friends, this means that:

ALL TICKET/DOOR MONEY GOES BACK INTO PRIZES!!!!!!  yeehaa!

I confirm that Tesko will NOT make any money out of this event, and that
all members of Tesko have agreed to put 20 pounds of their own cash in
to start the kitty off.

Prizes for the Scene competitions have been broken down into percentages
of the ticket/door money, so the more people that turn up, the more
the prizes will be.

Other prizes will be awarded in the other compos.  These have yet to be
announced.

Think about this a second:

Tickets are 5 each.

If 200 tickets are sold, then that gives us 1000 to give away in prizes,
BUT! add the money from Tesko members (10x20) is another 200.. 1200
prize money!!  And yes... we are giving the money away, we will NOT buy
prizes and dictate what you shall win!  Who wants to win a piece of hardware
that they have already or is not as good as their own?

Tickets:
-=-=-=-=

As above, Tickets are 5 in advance or 6 on the door.  If possible, please
order your ticket in advance as this helps us to sort out the cash prizes.

(BTW - When ordering your ticket, please state if you need a PERSONAL
AUTOROUTE SENDING TO YOU WITH YOUR TICKET)
