UK Nationals 2010

Hmm..I have an extra type AIIIf for sale/trade as well if anyone wants. Brand new, not assembled yet, still in plastic packaging

And an old AII with new core that can probably be great with some fine tuning, though I'm too lazy to play with it

Hmmm, both sound interesting!

Wow. Ben's worse than me with signing up for competitions, and then finding out later that they can't go. That's hard to do.

Well I only found out that I could go on saturday...

 

[CharlieCooper]

So Friday night everyone is welcome at mine, we'll order pizza. (Got another of my famous 50% coupons ). As far as I know, those staying at mine are Joey, Thom B, Dan H, Rowan and Michael (tell me if I forgot you) but everyone else is free to come and hang out at mine. I'll say 8-8:30 is the time for the meeting at mine, if you need to find me, PM me for my number and address! Looking forward to seeing you all

 

[MichaelErskine]

Thanks Charlie - you are a star.

I won't be able to get there for 8:30pm on Friday night (not exactly sure of ETA ATM) so I'll probably miss pizza - but I'll have plenty of good Dutch beer for everyone (as usual!)

 

[CharlieCooper]

Ok so new plans are that on Friday night we will have a BBQ at mine (or indoors bbq food if the weather fails) and then Saturday night we'll go for pizza near the venue then to mine or out to some pubs or something. If you are staying at mine, let me know when you'll arrive approximately so I can be at home! If you haven't got a place to stay yet and are In a pickle, let me know and I might be able to help. Went to the venue today and it's very easy to find the room. Enter on St George's street and go through the foyer then directly accross the courtyard, 3C4 is infront of you. That street also has the car park entrance on which I am told we fan use if you explain what event you are there for! I'm not sure if you can leave it overnight though

 

[Edam]

is this the car park?

 

[Kirjava]

we will have a BBQ at mine

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I'm so excited right now.

 

[sutty17]

is this the car park?

Yes, it is. There is another entrance on Partition st/Lower College st, but I'm not sure if you can use either or if one is entrance, one is exit or something weird like that

Friday night we will have a BBQ at mine

That is great news - I'll bring something vegetarian so I'm catered for. Also I'll bring one of those Chinese lanterns - they're always good fun.

 

[amostay2004]

Heh..just got my Maru 4x4 today. Can't play too much, people in my house are studying for exams (including me)

Those who're going for the comp can test it out

If I'm not competing with it then sure
If I am you have to figure something out though..maybe compete in different rounds or something

 

[Kirjava]

Yah, it's cool. I have a QJ if all else fails.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Don't worry about veg food, I am well stocked, just been to Tesco! I have quorn burgers along with some veggie quarter pounders. I will also make some tomato and halloumi skewer things. Bring drinks is all I will say, we are low on those. What time will you arrive roughly Michael? We'll start BBQ at 7 but can go on for as long as necessary. There is cake also.

 

[joey]

The cake is a lie.

Thanks Charlie,
Google Maps says 2.5hrs so I'll probably arrive at 22:04.55 although I predict time savings of up to 12mins 30sec (depending on wind direction). There is still negotiation to be done here at home

The cake is a lie.

 

[CharlieCooper]

The BBQ will be fired up around 8-8:30 so hopefully will still be going by the time Mikey boy gets here. If not, I will still cook you food, promise!

Wuv wu!

The printing is done - I went into work tonight (I'm a keyholder for the factory) at 22:45 to use the colour laser printers! - I made the certificates in InkScape: 12 events * 3 podium places + a few spares = 40 certificates. I wrote a perl script to make the scorecards (thank you OpenOffice::OODoc) : 149 scorecards - we'll do the further 3x3 rounds by hand. Dammit, I just found a bug

I reserved: sofa, my white blanked that I always use, panda.

Good call - that's a prime spot. I don't know the new flat layout but I tentatively reserve floor space by the door (I'll be the first up in the morning to go get the car - god, that makes me feel tired already!)
