There isn't anyone competitor that live in Paris? He could help Clement to find a new venue. Is difficult, not impossible.

Yeah I agree, it must be possible to find SOMETHING, even if it is only for one day. There are so many people travelling a long way for this competition. I can't understand what has happened for it to be cancelled at this late stage?!
 
I already contacted Francois Sechet who lives in Paris. However it's holiday in France he will do everything to make it happen!

Guys keep checking your e-mail and this thread often. As soon as he has some news we will tell you!

Let's hope it is going to work out. :)

Yeah, now Clement aswered me, he said:
You can contact François Sechet at that address : xxx
People from Paris will probably organise something, but I don't live
there, so I can't do anything

Sorry,
Clément

I'll email him right now, I hope this "something" can be done ufficially, WCA delegates doesn't miss.
 
I live in Paris but I'm currently 300 kms away :mad:
I come back this evening, if I can help organizing something, I will definitely do.
 
We the 3 Spaniards are schocked by the cancellation. One is already in Paris and I (Jesus) and Guillermo have booked already the flight and the hotel and refund is impossible, so we will definitely be in Paris. Hope a new venue can be found and a official competition can be held. Clement has also informed me that Francois Sechet and others are trying to find a venue in Paris. I have sent a mail to Francois about it but no answer yet

For 80+ people ?
Jean-Louis has found a possible venue, but only on Sunday, and quite expensive to rent (~1000 EUR), so it's not certain that the competition will actually happen there. Hopefully more info still to come.

I hope you can make it work, but some people are already migrating to Danish instead. Can't we organise the French Open in Denmark and have 150+ contestants? ;)

I can ask Ron and Ton for timers, Erik and I can provide some transportation, Lars V can print more scrambles/scorecards and Camilla V can make EVEN more cookies :)

A lot of people have already paid hotels and flight...Most of them can't afford the cost to a new flight ticket...
For example I paid 90€ for the flight ticket, you think I'll throw them in the toilet? :D I'll go Paris in any case.

The registration for Danish Open had a limit of 70 contestants, and that has been reached some while ago. I don't think there's room for more people :(
Would be awesome though - a competition with 150 people ;)
 
I just contact Lars V and he is ok with more people coming (probably not 150+ though ;)).

This is the semi-official message: "Hey you just fill up the cars but we would like some names so we can put them on the list :) and make nametacks"

So far I know Erik, Nora, Sebastien, Fabien come in Eriks car
Me, Macky, Carole (Panda) and probably Lars vdB and maybe a new cuber will come in my car
 
We will open Danish Open 2010 for people who will be able to make it to Denmark as a substitute for French Open 2010.
You can send me an email if your interested.

[email protected]

Or talk to Arnaud, which some people already have :)

PS: Camilla is not making anymore cookies :( We'll have to share
 
I have just received a mail from Francois Sechet, looks good news:

Hi Jesus,
Sorry for not answering sooner. I was expecting some news from a venue. Apparently we found a solution now so we will be able to hopefully a competition for a full day on Sunday, I think Clement will give you an update very soon...

Well, I am driving to Brussel now and we will find out what those people there want to do. 2 days and lots of travelling for Denmark or a short trip to Paris for a 1 day competition. Worst case scenario for me is that I have a good time in Brussel and will have to drive to Danish partly alone
