2010 Australian Toy Hobby and Nursery Fair

[TimMc]

Hi All,

Would anyone be interested in having a mini-competition with 10-20 competitors at the 2010 Australian Toy Hobby and Nursery Fair?

It would be a great opportunity to promote a WCA competition in July.

Please note that this wouldn't be an official competition and would be treated more like a meetup, but hopefully with stackmats and displays.

When?
Saturday 13th or Sunday 14th of March

Where?
Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre

Sounds good, I don't know if I will be able to go or not.

 

[LNZ]

No, I can't come. As usual cost is the problem.

Hmm, I don't want to assume anything has happened yet, but could you possibly become a delegate, to make it official?

It's probably far too soon to have it as an official competition due to there being less than a month until the Toy Fair.

If the venue hosts agree and Speed Stacks are happy to sponsor us again (I still have their equipment) then sure - it'd logistically be possible.

Oh yeah, didn't think about the time limits.

If you have a choice, definitely go to the July one.

Interesting idea Tim, have you actually organised something or is this just an 'idea' at this stage.

Well, we just need 10 or so cubers to come along. I've equipment and can bring some scrambles. That's pretty much it.

I've asked the expo hosts if they're willing to let us cube there for free. I'm still waiting for a response.

I'd come if it was Sunday, and come if it was Saturday, but after say 1:00/2:00.

8a4) The competition must be clearly announced, and should be announced at least a month before the competition starts.

Yeah, I need to emphasize more that this will be a "meetup" conducted like a competition.

There's not much chance of it being a WCA competition, it's waaaay to late for the notice period and organising things properly

I prefer saturday, cause i have a date in friday night

 

[Zane_C]

It shouldn't be to much trouble, I guess it depends on how many cubers are actually going to be there.
At this stage I don't care what day it will take place.

 

[RainbowBoy]

Yea, I'll come either on Saturday or Sunday.

Did you even read the options?

 

[miniGOINGS]
