May be able to go. Obviously travelling to Guildford from Newcastle isn't cheap and we are planning a trip to France later In the year. If I were to go though my only goal is to improve the awful average I did at the last competition.

Megabus from Newcastle to London is usually £8/15 either way, cheaper being less convenient usually. From the London coach station I think it's one tube ride and then a train into Guildford. It won't be pleasant but you can probably do the whole thing for ~£40 or less... So it's still not cheap, but it's not the £100 or whatever the train lines will be charging.

Also Phillip <3

That reminds me, I know someone who may be able to get me a 40% discount on trains to London. May just stay for one day but one day is better than none.

I've been trawling the WCA website for ages looking for a UK comp. I'll have to try and convince someone to let me come.
EDIT: It's not gonna be like a pokemon convention? It might be kinda hard to convince my dad if it is.

No, it's just a competition with an odd name.

There is an allotted time to register and if u dont register then u wont get to enter but they wont 'sell out' in this time
General point highlighted by the example above: It's a little annoying when people presume things like this an and then state them as facts. To me it sounds like you're making decisions that the organisational team should be making. Imagine if it does now 'sell out' quickly...suddenly the organisers are to blame because apparently it never sells out. Nothing against you in particular, angham - other people do it too and I just wanted to dissuade people from doing so. Next time give an example of previous comps and leave it at that rather than saying what will happen this time.

On a more exciting note, we're hoping to open registration in the next few days :)
