Description

Hi folks,

There is an event going on at the moment at Loughborough University in the UK. Would it be possible to lift the registration cap on the following IP addresses

131.231.88.0/256
131.231.89.0/256
131.231.90.0/256
131.231.91.0/256

I'm very sorry for the short notice, I know requests are meant to be made at least 7 days in advance but we only had notice of the event today.

I'm guessing the event is now over, and not enough information given to action the request
