How about next year?

 

[D4vd]

Where is it going to be this time?

 

[KboyForeverB]

If there is one next year, I might come

 

[jbrungar]

How about next year?

I was going to, but after discussing with a few others, they are going away on holiday in Jan, and/or have school start late Jan/early Feb. Late Dec was good for all I asked. So I have put up this poll to see how many others would come for those dates.

Where is it going to be this time?

Upper North Island. Are you going to ask your uni?

 

[D4vd]

I'll have to ask around, still have no idea who to ask haha

 

[Inf3rn0]

Sky Tower comp. Both these weekends are fine for me at the moment.

 

[Lorken]

I'm going home after the semester (Whangarei) till early Jan so I would also prefer early next year. Driving down all the way to Hamilton then back would not be fun.

 

[Dene]

For me it's not so much that I couldn't make it, but I keep taking time off work and apart from the fact that my boss thinks I'm becoming unreliable, I haven't put any money into my savings in a couple of months and it's really bugging me.

Personally I'd prefer late January, so long as Tim doesn't plan a comp around then.

Faz said MSO will be late Jan.

 

[Faz]

Yeah, MSO will probably be at the end of Jan like last year. You don't HAVE to come to every comp of ours Dene.

Melbourne > NZ

 

[D4vd]

Sky Tower comp

 

[Faz]

Obtw I will probably be there at this stage.

 

[Rorix]

I'm fine with either weekend, but I probably won't go as far as Waikato again. If it's nearer Auckland I'll be there.

December 18-19 seems like cutting it very close to Christmas...

That's what I originally had thought, but after talking to several others and as the poll is starting to show, that weekend seems to be good for most. It is after school has finished for the year and some people are going away on holiday after that weekend for Christmas, New Years or for a holiday during January, including myself in early January and possibly to MSO in late January. Then school starts late January/early February and so some are not able/allowed to go then. To have a competition we need both a delegate and a good number of competitors, so if we cannot get both it will not happen. I get emails all the time from people complaining about competition locations and dates because it is too far away or they are busy with school or their parents wont let them go during the school year, even during holidays because they should be studying. So I am trying for one during the summer break when there is no school/studying. Also remember, even if you cannot make it to this competition, there will be more in the near future

 

[RCTACameron]

Sadly, I doubt I will be coming, and I would struggle to even if it wasn't so close to Christmas.

 

[Alcuber]

99% sure i can't come

 

[Ethan_Dale]
