What a quality BobLAN that was! Awesome company, lots of laughs and some brilliant gameplay. Here are some of the highlights:

• Teardown - a revelation of a game, total mayhem, definitely one that will return
• Battlefield 2042 - some really good games, especially the one that end up with only 6 points between the two teams
• Battlefield 6 - this time it was mainly Battle Royale rather than REDSEC but we had some decent games. Third place was our best result!
• Counter-Strike 2 - again, some really close games. Great work from Pup to get the server running, and Daz putting the map pack together
• Wreckfest - the usual moaning and groaning as people got shunted off the track, but some excellent races. Even though a good number of us had Wreckfest 2, we didn't try it this time
• GRID Autosport - the "serious" racing game for a BobLAN made its customary appearance
• PupQuiz - moving away from Kahoot to Pup's own quizzing app, this was a brilliant debut. After a trial run and some feedback, the actual PupQuiz ran pretty flawlessly. Amazing work!
• Frog in a Box - yup, it really was a frog in the box, much to Themy's surprise!!
• Tech - plenty of AI chat. I'm sure this sort of thing will become a regular feature (until it doesn't need us anymore)
• Bob Things - Foxy's PC, lightbulbs - the list could go on...
• Food - what can I say? Superb food all weekend, especially the breakfasts!

Once again, massive thank you to Bob and Lynda for hosting us all. What you do is quite incredible!

See you all on Thursday 12th November for BobLAN 2026.2

BobLAN has started with some BF6 followed by the introduction of Teardown - a Minecraftesque block game where destruction is the aim rather than building. Coop mayhem at its best! Follow the schedule on our BobLAN Page.

The first BobLAN of 2026 starts later this week. Follow the schedule on our dedicated BobLAN page, and also keep an eye on our Bluesky channel for live updates!

The first BobLAN of 2026 begins in 5 weeks - for those that can afford, now's the time for those upgrades! Game discussions will take place on Discord over the coming weeks - should be interesting with Wreckfest 2 and possibly Modern Warfare IV.

The confirmed dates for the spring BobLAN are Thursday 30th April - Sunday 3rd May 2026. The dedicated BobLAN page will be created with around a month to go.
