Exclamation XL SUMMER 2008: Confirmed Dates and Venue



presents...



MatchBox360 XL continues to set the standard for UK and European Xbox 360 eSports tournaments,
and we are pleased to announce that we will be moving to a new venue for the remainder of the XL 2008 season!
Further to the overwhelming success of our previous Xbox 360 eSports tournaments at the Birmingham NEC Toute Suite,
the time has come to take XL to the next level with a bigger and better venue for the console gaming community.

MatchBox360 XL would like to introduce you to...


- Cranmore Avenue - Shirley - Solihull - West Midlands - B90 4LF -


With 3 exhibition halls available, the modern and stylish Cranmore Park will become the new home for XL
as we continue to develop European console eSports tournaments throughout this year and into the 2009 season.

THE SHOWROOM:
XL Summer 2008 will take place in the impressive and flexible Cranmore Park Showroom.
With full air conditioning and adjustable lighting, this open plan venue will become the future of XL
as we will utilise over 1000 square metres for our initial events; and with continued growth
XL will make full use of the vast floor space available of approx 2500 square metres!!!



More images and virtual tours of Cranmore Park can be found here:

>>> CRANMORE PARK <<<

LOCATION:
Cranmore Park is located at the heart of the UK with air, rail and motorway links just minutes away.
With gamers travelling from across the UK and throughout Europe, good transportation links are essential
for everyone attending XL and Cranmore Parks central location provides easy access wherever you reside.
(please note: a full travel and accommodation guide will be available online within the next few days).


CATERING FACILITIES:
With 2 modern restaurants onsite, Cranmore Park will provide you with a selection of
quality hot and cold food throughout your XL weekend at reasonable prices.

The Dining Room


The Eating House



XL TOURNAMENTS and FREEPLAY:
The official XL tournament and freeplay line-up will be announced within the next 2 weeks.

We hope you're as excited about the future of XL as much as we are...and we looking forward to
welcoming you to another 3 day extravaganza of the very best in European console eSports!!!

I've loved that venue ever since I first saw it (2 days and counting lol) - it's a stunning venue and it's going to be a lot of fun for everyone!

Thanks,

from july-august theres gonna be loads of people on holidays, so by changing the dates for those that can't make it, will solve the problem for them but cause 1 for others.
