Upcoming DGA date?

It is now the start of October so new rosters at work are being made. It would be really nice if a date could soon be set for this months event? Simply means I can get in early and get the time I want off work for once. Been soooo long since my last DGA.

I havn't owned anyone locally for a while now, so will be nice to start again... Owning that is :p

Upcoming dates are being discussed. Also the EVO6 date is being discussed.
When we are able to secure venues for these events we will be announcing the dates.

membership will last till evo wont it? just need 2 no so i can sign up 4 membership next time

We are now in the 2005-2006 membership period.
Members who have signed up and paid since July 1st 2005 will be members until June 30th 2006.

Hey is there any dates for the next LAN ?

I wish i could tell you mate. But i have asked and got no feedback from the exec committee reguarding the proposed dates.
Maybe a few more of you keen games can ask in bigger fonts and stuff in this thread and they will wake up and give me/and the dga attendants a answer.

I wouldn't mind having it at the chan but i suppose a lan anywhere is aiight. Got any info on the chan?

the chan building is advertised as being used this month as a venue for a girls night in fundraiser with the breast cancer people if you can find out how they managed to secure this venue maybe you could be able to do the same thing - weasel's mum

Thanks Mum ;-)

heheh thats gold.

Ok peeps we have a DGA meeting late next weekend. Dates for the upcoming lan and evo will be discussed.

If any of you would like to present something to the committee, have suggestions, ideas, problems, whatever let a DGA committee member know before next weekend and it will be brought up at the meeting.

Looking forward to giving you guys more info soon.

EDIT: MEETING DATE WAS INCORRECT

Its a committee meeting. Although DGA members might be welcome to join, ill ask the rest of the committee and have a answer for you in a few days.

What's the goss?

I have approached the committee and they have said no to others coming to this next committee meeting.
Sorry guys.

Well is anything happening?

Last DGA 17-18th of September.

My expensive computer hardware is collecting dust. I dont have ADSL like others so dont game online at all. Im very disappointed.

Meeting is tomrrow.. Dates to be announced soon...
We are trying not to hold DGA's every month cause we dont get 40+ people turn outs.. so people can save money for the event as well cause a dga each month costs a bit for the gamers.. . etc..

My personal take on the issue is people are less inclined to want to be part of the DGA community if the lans are held so far apart.

The games and friendships need upkeep to keep the spirit alive something you will not get holding lans so far apart.

Well we arnt going to make everyone happy.. sorry wortel..
Its better for DGA and better for the DGA gamers to have it like this
But there will be times were we do have DGA closer together.. eg 1 a month depending on things

Can you please give your reasons as why it is better your way? Make this a debate please.

DGA isent trying to make money to become rich.. We are just trying to get by.. Also trying to get upgrades.. eg more tables.. DGA chairs.. Gigabit hubs etc...

Removed comment.

The money it costs for the gamers is an absolute pittance compared to the price of our gaming rigs. Its an expensive hobby we accecpt that.

Im disputing that the gamers want a community they can become involved in.

The way I see it is when there is only 1 lan every 6-8 weeks your potential lan gamers start looking for other hobbys that they can get more involvement in and these hobbys will push out lan gaming to a background concern.

If the culture exists people will follow and it will thrive.

If the culture is very thin so will be your population.

4 - 6 weeks should be the maximum time between LAN's.

I am leaving soon for QLD and I'm hanging out for my last DGA. But it looks as though I have already been to my last one.

But hopefully I will return one day to some DGA LANNING GOODNESS...

Im so glad you all have a mighty opinion on how things should be run, perhaps you should have been at the election of the new comittee and put your hand up then. Or is it much easier to sit on the sideline and throw idle comments to antagonise an already fragile coalition of gamers. Yes DGA will be having a LAN event soon, yes there is a meeting today to discuss it, yes you will know as soon as we have a concrete date time and venue.
Thankyou for your patience

I work every single Saturday and had no chance of attending the meeting.

My opinion is not be debated only belitted here :(

I don't have the exact details in front of me, but as I recall DGA's constitution nothing would have stopped you from:

a) Nominating yourself before the AGM, and
b) Voting by proxy (getting someone to cast your vote on your behalf).

Maybe next time.

EOS - We are with you - We are just keen for the LANage ...

Quote from Wortel:

Wortel, perhaps spare a thought for the members of the committee who donate a great deal of their personal time for free to organise and run LAN's

Just remember they have a life outside DGA too :)

Was no knock at you Mymatsu, was just a statement to say that if they current situation is not to your liking, there have been ample and multiple oportunities to have a say, any say, anytime.

"My opinion is not be debated only belitted here" - What drugs are you on, you attacked DGA and its organisation, i responded, easy as that.

Oh and the AGM was on a Sunday im pretty sure, ;)

June 30 was a Saturday... But obviously if anybody cared about it more people would have rocked up and had more of a say. We sat down for a good bloody half hour maybe more discussing the future of DGA and I think it was good...

There was no "attack" as you say.
I only said I was disappointed.

There was no debate against my points.

You have accused me of antagonising and drug use.
Should I be sorry I had to do my job while your meeting was on???

Im just saying "if lans were more frequent the lanning culture will thrive"

Now how was this point debated????????

wow, calm down. Perhaps you should be clearer on your wording if you don't want to make it sound like you're attacking them just because they don't agree with you, that's about all I can see from this too.

And with your "if lans were more frequent the lanning culture will thrive", unfortunately that hasn't really been proven in the past apart from a few people. It's not always an option for the younger people at DGA to be able to afford it so frequently, and a lot of the older ones too sometimes. ;) Just as it's not always an option to get that much time off work for those people, much like yourself, who work weekends and aren't able to get them all off.

As I'm sure you're aware the attendance levels have dropped quite a bit over the past year, so perhaps this is just a trial to see if they can increase it again.

*Ahem, refere to Brain_Dance's ThreaD, impropper posting*

This is completely off topic of what this thread was about guys, cmon, stick to the DGAs upcoming date :p no offence but if ya gonna debate, do it in another thread guys :D make a new 1

OK then I will agree to disagree and be happy with 40 people DGAs.

No more debate from me. :D

80 should be a max for DGA, deciding its a smallish area, anyhow, 80 is just how many may come, knowing that less that 80 come but it atleast it gives people a chance to get in, also, is dga locked in for the 15 next month>?

No, newbit.

What the?

Love the professional look of the whinning......

When is the next Lan?

I have just read 4 pages of crap to find the date isnt in here.
