Nice to see another northern comp, thanks! But...... no bigBLD? :( Could we maybe do that in parallel with FMC?

I would like to include bigBLD too, but this is one of the few northern comps so my main objective is to get the scene here up,, then eventually we can held more variety of events. In other words, it is water testing with northern region.

Hey,
I'll be bringing my son along to this - he's 10 and this will be his first competition. I'm completely clueless about how this all works so I'm hoping you're a friendly bunch!

Hi, I will send out emails to everyone as we're closer to the comp about how it runs. Everyone is friendly and I believe he will blend in well.

Very friendly and helpful. There's usually a few first timers and hopefully some older cubers like myself so you'll have someone to talk to too.

Noooo, comps down south please!

You mean like Guildford, Harrow, WGC, Cuthbert's, Stevenage, Cambridge and unlike the only Northern Comp this year, TGN?

Edit - I'm not counting Edinburgh because surely you can't be upset that there was one Scottish comp this year.

Oh yeah, might as well ask as early as possible.

To anyone living down south (or even anywhere between where I live and Manchester) who is traveling by car, could I hitch a ride off you? I'll be willing to travel to where you live, so you wouldn't have to make any changes to your journey, and I'll throw in some money to cover petrol expenses if you want.

Bonus reward(s): My undying love, and I'll be your obedient slave throughout the entirety of the comp, and will do anything you say within reason. pls no bully
