Yep there is

We hope to see you there, General Lan bits - A network cable (Just in case) A network card (usually onboard these days) Thats all you'd need.

Multiplayer has far more potential than single player, I highly recommend you give the event a try

I'm in westmeath at the minute, so there's no chance of that. Ah, hopefully i'll be working by then. I could bring my PC up to smithfield, but i'm sure if i'm desperate enough to go i'll sort something out with someone.
