Ok, just updating you guys with the situation in Melbourne.
#1: We are starting an Australian Speedcubing club, primarily based in melbourne. We will need to write out a constitution regarding many things. Tim will most likely be president, and me vice president. (Kinda like "Speedcubing New Zealand") To join the group, you will have to come to a cubing meetup, where you can sign up, giving us your email address and contact details so that we can inform you of meetups, unofficial competitions, other updates to the club, and by the end of the year, the official competition. (Dene delagate)
#2: Schedule. We will have a set schedule of meetups, every 2-4 weeks, on Tim's website.
www.speedcubing.com.au. He is creating a database at the moment, and will have the website updated shortly. At every meetup there will be a 3x3 average of 5, and possibly other events depending on interest.
#3 Unofficial competition: We are planning an unofficial competition to be held at matt's church (same place as the last 2). We will decide on the date shortly, and have more details for you guys later. We aim to have about 15 people attend, even though it is only being advertised on the forum. It will be within the next 2 months, so stay tuned.
#4 Official competition. When in New Zealand, we talked with Dene, and decided that we are most probably going to have an official competition later this year (December). We will need a different, larger venue, and Tim has some options planned. A sponsor will be needed, and equipment too. Tim and I will work on that and have details for you soon. It will be advertised in newspapers, and we hope to have some media interest as it will be the first officila competition in Australia. It may or may not be held over 2 days.
Next meetup will be in 2-4 weeks. (haven't settled on a date yet)
Post if you have comments/questions.
