-Might- be a meet up in Sheffield sometime in the near future. There are a fair few cubers based in Sheffield, as well as Joey in Leeds. I'm not far from there too, but I don't know about many others.

if edavies was willing, then we could probably have another one at his sometime soon. anyway, if we do, obviously you're invited joey 
cookingfat: we would've gotten you along, but one sunday night joey just told us that he was coming over the next day. hence the lack of preparation etc

Could we perhaps organise a competition in the summer somewhere near the south? The summer is like the only time when I'm free and I'm not too busy with school work for a competition. I don't mind helping out with the competition. It would be nice to enter my first competition this summer 
. I think that if I break some national records (or maybe even continental or world records ), I will have more to write on my ucas form for when I'm applying for a university

Not -too- far south please. Unless it's at the same time I'm on holiday in Padstow

South is good with me. I wrote about cubing on my personal report for school the other day

I was thinking of London or somewhere near London because London is the capital and it's not too far away for me.

I can come if its in London
And also, my school has a massive hall, maybe the organiser can get it for cheap.

Heh, it definitely should be in Sheffield I mean, we could probably supply about a third of the total cubers in the competition!
I would mind going to London - it can be a very expensive place to stay, even if you book hotel/hostel reasonably early.
How about Birmingham? It's 'central', pretty easy to get to by train, and a UK Open has been held there before (same venue?). It would also be fair, as its about a 100 miles away from everybody there! ('Everybody' lives in sheffield, liverpool, london, leeds, or bristol. I couldn't be bothered to check other places on google maps.)
EDIT
Asheboy - I think Dan would probably come to this, if it ever happens. It's a shame he doesn't go on/isn't a member of these forums...

Me too, but it's where Charlie lives and she seems to be the only one prepared enough to sort anything out. For anything official we need Dan there anyway. Unless someone else wants to become a UK WCA Rep? (Plus knows how...)

Seriously, I would love to have more competitions that are just 100 miles from me.

Not sure what you mean. Is traveling 100 miles in the UK an extremely daunting task? I'll visit a desitination 100 miles away as a day trip sometimes.

100 miles in the UK is not really classed as 'close by'
