[Olivér Perge]

Just bought the tickets for Bence and me. It's going to be awesome again there!

Only thing missing: Arnaud's name from the competitors list...

I'm sure we can convince him to come... I think he's just busy right now. Last time I registered him without asking

As expected I'm not allowed to go to any comps til after my A levels are finished so this is a no no

But if there's another Bristol Open in November you can sign me up in advance!!

There will be one between now and November, promise! Probably July after exam season, depends greatly on my travel plans and venue availability.

Ok well I'm away quite a bit in July and start uni in September so if you want me to be there ask me for dates in advance

Yere I was hoping for a megaminx medal

not that that's bad of course, I'll just have to keep practicing
also I might be able to get a few tips off bence too

now to start arrainging things with coghill, I'll probably get my dad to take me, but I don't think he'll stay. Which is good because I don't people to see him falling asleep again

btw when is the schedule to be announced?

I have a busy day tomorrow. I say busy, I have *some* things to do as oppose to absolutely nothing, so I will try to do it then but I'll probably get sidetracked. If I am feeling really active I may even do it this evening. Any requests?

The last Bristol Open had a good schedule - we managed to stick to it pretty well I thought. It would make a good starting point - I'm sure you've already thought of this Charlie!

(As predicted, I got sidetracked last night )

Yes the last schedule was pretty good and I think it will be pretty much that all over again. The only differences will be that I need to work in 5x5BLD and also to adjust the timings as I think we can start earlier. I might also need to increase the round lengths because it seems like we may have more competitors than last time who will compete in a lot of events. If this happens we'll have to ditch some of the second rounds. I am sort of reluctant to make a schedule until more people have registered so I have a better idea of numbers. I can't say megaminx for example, will only take 20 minutes for a round, when another ten people might register to do it!

We will also need to add time for three rounds of fighting if we eat at McD*nalds again

EDIT: the more sophisticated of the group (myself included) went elsewhere for nourishment!

 

[MTGjumper]

I shall be part of the more sophisticated group this time

Tesco innit (or if we really want to get sophisticated we could go a bit early before M&S closes ).

EDIT: Similar sentiment to Simon below...

If it's easier for anybody offering a lift I can always get a train to Nottingham to reduce 'stoppage time'...

 

[MTGjumper]

Travelling wise, is anyone able to offer me a lift? I can pay any petrol costs. Obviously, I don't want to sound too demanding, as I can still go by train, it's just this would be more convenient.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Well maybe this time if we are organised about it I can cook one night for those staying at mine. I just need to be massively prepared and it will be extremely boring food The reason for not doing this last time is that I need to consider the other person I live with, it's not fair for me to just bombard him with all these people so by getting everyone out for a bit he gets some alone time! Also going out somewhere provides us with an informal meet up. I do not want an informal meet up with 40 people at my house thanks

 

[kinch2002]

Same thing for me as well. I live in Guildford, Surrey. Train is perfectly possible but of course car is easier.

 

[Muesli]

Is there a Youth Hostel local(ish) to the venue? Just incase HotelCharlie becomes overbooked.

It is a slight possibility I might be able to. The chances are I'll be megabusing it up for a mere £2 return plus 50p booking fee though. If I am driving though, it should be fine.
