I was born in Macclesfield so I would love to come but unfortunately I now live about 4 1/2 hours away which is a bit far for me. :/

Might be close enough to family for me to get permission. Are we allowed to know the venue @Mollerz?

 

[Iggy]

Pretty close to my college, but I'll be back home at that time :/ Have fun everyone!

It depends whether the competition is held in Macclesfield. You never know, James could be trying to throw us off the scent!

I don't think I can handle so much information at once! This is closer than most comps and I might be able to go, fingers crossed.

 

[TDM]

Probably won't go since it's so far away.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

Ooo yeah, I was wondering when another UK comp would be announced. Should be able to make it.

Actually, I might be able to go. Not sure yet but hopefully I'll be there!

 

[Berd]

I'm with SSE on this one, a bit too far!

I can come! . It is going to be my first competition! How many competitions are there per year?

 

[TDM]

How many competitions are there per year?

Here's a list of all past UK comps. Over the past few years (2013 onwards) there have been 8-9.

 

[TheSpeedCuber890]

Do you think every year it'll increase?

Yeah it's in Macclesfield all right

 

[ryanj92]

Do you think every year it'll increase?

i think we're pretty much saturated with competitions right now, so i don't think the number per year will increase too much.

i might try and make the saturday of this one, at least

 

[TheSpeedCuber890]

Can't wait for the competition! Also , how many events will there be? In a UK competition this year , will it ever be possible for some events to have 4 rounds?

Schedule should be released shortly, but there will 16 different events held at this competition. As for the number of rounds, that may be decided by how many people turn up, but I highly doubt that there will be 4 rounds in anything other than 333, and that may not happen.
