Hey Everybody, Drew W. here.
I've receved a PM stating that there might not be an official Zombie Survival Training this year, due to time constraints. That's a shame, but they fully support and encourage us to go ahead with our own preparations. With that in mind, the Unofficial Zombie Survival Training is still on.
We're going to join up with other players and organize an UNOFFICIAL Zombie survival class on the SAME DAY as the event.
Finalized Schedule:
Where: Vanguard Indoor Playground (Break room in the back)
When: Saturday, Feb. 26th. (Day of the game)
Check-In: 2:00PM - 2:30PM (During Block 2)
Class Start: 2:30PM Sharp
Required Equipment:
* Eye Protection.
* Chest Protection.
* Airsoft Replica (Unloaded, battery out).
* Plastic or nerf melee weapon (softer = better).
* Zombie Volunteers need everything except the Airsoft and melee weapons.
If you arrive later than 2:30PM, just come on back. We'll roll you into the training.
If you arrive really late, don't worry. We'll have a second training session later that day (still prior to the event).
Basically it'll be a short class (not the full 4 hours) composed of players from the Oct. 30th, 2010 Left 4 Dead sharing what they remember. And from that, composing some kind of training drills to help humans survive (and help zombies get efficient kills, hehe). It's going to be informal, round-table discussion, followed by us recreating some of the drills that MTT taught us at last year's Zombie Survival Class.
Anywho, that's basically the plan. If you show up early enough, meet us outside the entrance to the break room in the back (entrance = water fountains near the concession stand), and we'll fold you into the class.

Some people have pmed me stating that they can't make it to the event, but other new arrivals have expressed an interest in helping as instructors. If you can't make it, no problem. This is 100% optional. If you can, it's appreciated. Your past experiences with the training and the event itself will really help pass on valuable information to L4D's new arrivals.
See you guys there. Good Luck and Have Fun.
