At least one school should give you a free venue. I'm sure my school would give me a venue. The only problem with that is my school is not in Adelaide.

How far from Adelaide? If within 30 minutes of the cbd I'd say that's great.

My school is 100 km north of Adelaide.
A couple of options, for future reference.
I'd say the Uni of Adelaide would have suitable places, would be worth getting in contact with them. Also, further out of the city some of the yacht clubs along the beach would be good, they generally aren't open much in winter, but would probably open up for a day for an event, or you could use a function room for the day. If you are interested, the first two to contact would be Adelaide Sailing Club at Glenelg, and Largs Bay Sailing Club, at... Largs Bay.
Probably too short notice for July, but maybe in future

And would you be willing to cover the cost of a venue at the University of Adelaide?
I have no idea what it would cost, it was just a suggestion of some places to try if you wanted to have an event in Adelaide
Personally I'm not interested in competitions, I just saw this a while ago and had an idea, so I thought I would make the suggestion

Thank you for trying, but you needn't bother. Of course the University had been considered. Trust that the people involved know what they are doing.

I haven't contacted them. Would you care to do so and receive a quote?

I'm considering going to Adelaide soon to ask a few shopping centers. I need to know what sort of things we will need:
Materials (tables, chairs, power points etc.)
How much room we will need
An official letter confirming the desire of the RMIT rubik's cube club to hold the Adelaide Winter Open.

Checklist:
- 1 stage
- Something to section-off the public from the competitor area and stage (1.5 metre walking space within the barrier)
- 2 tables for competing (160cm by 50cm) or 4 tables (90cm by 50cm)
- 1 table for scrambling (90cm by 50cm or larger)
- 1 table registration/data-entry (any size)
- 6 chairs (appropriate height)
- 10 additional chairs for the competitor area if possible
- Sufficient ambient lighting and/or white lighting (not too harsh, and not non-white)
- Something to hang posters off (sponsors etc)
- Microphone and speaker (non-essential but makes announcements easier)
- Access to a powerpoint (required for a laptop to do data-entry
Some large Shopping Centres might be willing to pay for table, chair and Audio/Visual hire. The competition would simply provide some entertainment for their patrons and potentially draw some more people into their shopping centre (depending on the amount of PR/advertising beforehand).
Room:
We'd essentially need about 6 square metres (we had about 4 square metres at Melbourne Central last time but there weren't really any chairs for the competitors that were waiting or parents). So 4-7 square metres would be ideal...
Letter:
I haven't completed a formal letter of engagement before. I've simply had a meeting to discuss the idea and then follow up by providing them with ABN details and a copy of our Public Liability Insurance to assert that we're covered in Shopping Centres too. They then asked me to fill out a Casual License Agreement (similar to what they get other stall owners/shops to agree to) for $0. What kind of letter are you after?
Tim.

Just a letter that behalf of the RMIT Rubik's cube club to hold a competition here so that they know we are fair dinkum when asking them. Also a checklist would be nice to and your contact details (eg. phone number). Thanks Tim

I'll talk with RUSU about writing up a letter. I don't want to tread on any toes with RMIT media...

Sorry to bump this old thread up but would anyone be interested in a comp in Adelaide later this year or early next year?

I would be open to delegating a competition in Adelaide if the time suited me.

I had a chat to Tim and he said the same. Hopefully we can get some interest. Should I start a thread about it?

Nothing much but you can hire the North Adelaide Baptist Church hall for $10 an hour for non profitable events. It could hold up to 50 people and has plenty of table and chairs.
