Entry
We we'll be using the Entrance on Colombo Street untill midnight on both nights, After that the gate will be locked & the rear entrance off Winchcombe Street will be open. Vehicle unloading will be allowed directly in front of the building - but be quick about it.as there is only space for 3 vehicles at a time.
Before the LAN
If you need to come before 6pm, with your gear etc, you may use the area just inside the doors to store your equipment. You're welcome to wait in that same area or head off and do whatever. If you do arrive before 6pm, please don't disturb the Admins as we will be running around setting things up. Having said that - we would much rather you arrive after 6pm so to not inconvenience our neighbours.
Car Parking
L3 HQ does have its own car parks beside the building however there is only 3 & they are only for the use of the Admin staff. Do not park in the carparks beside the building or in Southcity's carpark - you will get towed. Unmetered/unsign posted parking is on Welles, Walker, Wilmer & Bath Streets.
And be warned for those parking in metered or sign posted areas, You can be ticketed on both Saturday & Sunday during the day.
Attendees
When the doors do open please QUE at the admin tables (in 2 rows) and register before bringing your kit in. It just makes things flow a little smoother rather than having people que up whilst juggling cases & monitors & cookies etc. You will be given an armband & a piece of paper with your handle and various details printed on it (IP address etc). Once registered and paid feel free to zip in and out setting up. Please DO NOT open the Secondary doors.
