Hi Michael, sorry I didn't answer your call, I'm always like ARHARHGHAGEG WHO IS THAT?!?! If i don't have the number stored!

That's fine - I'm the same with unknown numbers!

There is a link in the first post of the thread.

Right, so the Trinity Arts Centre -- interesting. Which of the spaces is it?

EDIT: so many questions! Sorry about that Charlie - I'm just a big kid

Everyone... bring a chair to the competiton!

Everyone... bring a chair to the competiton!

...and a table.

Explore the area with StreetView. We need sandwiches!

 

[CharlieCooper]

there are sandwich places on the road between there and my house.. but it's still not that good. this is certainly the provisional venue, i have to let them know by tomorrow. i might somewhere else but it's not big enough or affordable is the problem... i took some pictures, i'll post them in a bit.

 

[Toad]

Will this be an official comp or not?

 

[joey]

Yes. No way we'd get a venue for an unofficial comp.

I don't think I can make saturday (because I have school on saturday ). However I can make it to sunday. Would it be possible make it so that 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5 (and maybe OH) will take place on sunday (if they do take place on sunday, that probably means we can't have two rounds of 4x4x4...)? PLEASE! At the end of the competition, I'll give you one of my main speedcubes if I do well?

EDIT: *Wishes for the date to change to 12th -13th December* (Yeah, I know, I'm sorta asking for too much...)

update in first post, the short of it is that it's the 21st-22nd november. more details later today.x

I am actually thinking about coming. A friend of my mom lives in the Bristol area.
problem is that I will start my civil service on November 2nd and I don't know yet if I can get free :/
but I will try

Please come, it will be nice to see you again I think there are also easy plane links between Austria and Bristol Airport!

erm I'd have to switch planes in Amsterdam, I know that And I fly from Zurich - as I said, I will try

Robert: date change? wtf?

 

[Robert-Y]

We sorta had a small discussion over whether it should be held on 21st-22nd November or 12th-13th December in the UK Open thread.

yes but the details have now been announced in the beginning of the thread, as i mentioned in an earlier post the thing is that, i can try to accommodate your wishes mr yau, but at the same time i don't want to affect the whole weekend's dynamic. i can send your parents an email to help persuade them to let you miss a day of school if you like

 

[Robert-Y]

Ah sorry I got a bit confused with your post... (I thought you were saying that it will probably be on 21th-22nd November but the date could still change :fp)

Thank you for considering my wishes into account (I can never seem to express my gratitude in common english )

And don't worry about sending my parents an email, they won't mind

And if I can't go in the end that's fine, there's always UK Masters 2010 which I know will be "a blast" (lol I never use this phrase )

UPDATE... or just a repeat of the initial UPDATE.

The competition will definitely be happening on the 21st-22nd of November in Bristol. It will be announced officially tomorrow once I've paid the venue. OTherwise everything else in place.

The venue is a bit unique, but should be a great success. I will upload some photos later. The chairs and tables at the venue are not in very good condition, so I will need to hire at least tables. I keep banging on about these chairs, but they really aren't in good shape and people will only moan. It might be that you need to put up with this in exchange for there actually being an affordable venue Can I get a vote on this please?

You can start booking trains and stuff now, the station you want is BRistol Temple Meads. Hotels closest are probably the Marriott hotel near Castle Park or the Future Inn. This will all be online along with registration details soon but just incase you were keen.

Hmmm, my 21st of November is my brother's birthday, however, my mum is going away on that saturday too, so we will probably be celebrating the weekened before anyway Hooray! Can't wait for this, though I will only be happy if I get the NR in either 2x2x2 or 4x4x4 BLD

That's fine, your bro can just hang outon his own on his birthday

I think you and Rowan are staying at mine btw.

 

[AvGalen]

Who needs chairs? Normally we keep walking around to meet and talk with everyone anyway

Tables would be nice for the active competitors

 

[Branca]

Maybe I'll come

Is far from the airport?

 

[MichaelErskine]

Is far from the airport?

It is 9.5 miles according to Google Maps Directions - I'm sure people with transport (e.g. me) will be able to ferry people to and from the airport if necessary.

 

[Edam]

If you are arriving by plane there is a shuttle bus priced at £10 return that goes to the central train station (Temple Meads) every 20-30 minutes. It's really very easy..

 

[Branca]
