Possible competition for Yorkshire in the future? (interest needed)

[PokeCuberAlex]

As Greg said, procedure is to contact delegates 1st before announcing your intentions to arrange a comp. Also yeah, I'll be a pretty much any comp in the UK.

I have told Dan this weekend that I want to try and arrange one just haven't mentioned the thread or current progress yet. I'll get to him about it now.

 

[Randomno]

It's 200 miles away, so I could probably come.

Any ideas about the date?

You may want to speak with Dan/James first about potential dates, because I believe there are a few competition already in the pipeline for early next year.

True but the problem right now is I am still trying to see about a room with the events team of the Leeds union, but whenever I try and send an email I get a status fail notification as their message box is full at least when they are not around it is, so until around 5:00 today I won't be able to send it off. I will message to Dan about it right now.

UPDATE! I have now got a list of fully suitable rooms coming in from the conference office of the Leeds university, and should be put together with the all the needed info for me to receive by Tuesday! =D

We've been talking to Alex in email. He's just duplicating progress updates in this thread.

*checks map for how different the location of Leeds and Yorkshire is since no-one mentioned anything in the thread and it suddenly says Yorkshire*

Yorkshire is the county Leeds is in with Leeds being the most populated city, and is also in the west of the county like my location says, and is the biggest county in terms of land area by far. I did mention it in the intro post of the thread as well.

That awkward moment where you name a county after a city in it/vice versa and it ends up not being the most populated...

What's your point..? Just forget it. You know where the competition is now.

UPDATE!: I am going to phone the Leeds Uni on Friday which would give them a month since ringing to see how the list of events is coming along, I can only enquire before 9 in the morning and unfortunately missed my chance the other day so I apologise for being late on checking of progress.

 

[Hssandwich]

I hope you can find a great place

Hopefully Yorkshire.

 

[PokeCuberAlex]

Well yeah the place is to be in Leeds and only Leeds as it IS my local area after all. =P There are also other cities in the county that are more populated then York. Dewsbury, Harrogate both being home to 100s of 1000s, and the 2nd biggest city after Leeds Sheffield which is in the south of Yorkshire.

 

[Ollie]

Sheffield seems super accessible to the rest of the UK, but I'm totes happy for a Leeds comp

 

[Randomno]

Can you try and give it a slightly more interesting name than Leeds Open/Winter/Spring 2015?

I was thinking of having the name as "Leeds the way" as it would be a nice and positive play on words, and would represent Yorkshires 8 year return to the scene very nicely. =)

Sounds better than most of the UK comp names...

EDIT: In 8 years of UK comps, pretty much the only two not to have a standard name are "Rapid Dash Open 2012" and "Welcome To Cambridge 2014".
