Yeah I do know st Albans well it seems like there is potential for a meetup around London

 

[BillyRain]

Ah sweet! Well lets see if we can get a few more people interested and then we will try to organise something no?

I'm not really bothered where it is, someplace central to everybody i guess, unless someone has an awsome venue where we can hold it for free or sumthing!

I live just outside of London and would be happy to meet up somewhere

As far as I am aware most informal meetups can be held in seating areas in shopping centres or cafes or something

People who are interested in the London area:

Anyone else interested?

 

[Cride5]

Or Scotland, for that matter.

Hay dude, you're deffo not alone in Edinburgh I know couple other cubers here. Mr Vallance also happens to be in town ATM. Gimme a shout if you fancy meeting up..

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

There's a new train line from where I live into Edinburgh. Not used it yet, I usually go to Glasgow, but if there's a few cubers meeting up in Edinburgh I'll probably go.

 

[BillyRain]

Haha sounds good! Anywhere will do then i guess!

Lets see if we get some more peeps over the next few days.

That BBC thing sounds interesting! I'm sure they'd be interested in cubers. Not me, I am slow lol, but you guys should get in touch!

 

[BillyRain]

By the way do any of you london/near london guys have facebook? Please feel free to add me by searching Billy 'Skipper' Rain.

Would be cool to chat.

 

[Selkie]

I would be interested in a meet up. Even though a different 'neck of the woods', I am in London every week at least once on business.


@BillyRain: Nice progress on the PLLs/OLLs

Hey thanks Selkie!

Lets hope we can make the meet date work out for you too!

We should both ask ourselves... what are we doing up this late/early..

Off work with a chest infection. Woke up with a coughing fit and couldn't sleep so trolled the forums and did an AO100

Haha bless ya, what was your result?!?

 

[Selkie]

Haha bless ya, what was your result?!?

Think that one was 28.8. Just done a 27.9 Ao100. I don't know why but been cubing for 3 1/2 months. I just sort of wrongly assumed since it took so long to get to sub-30 (couple of weeks ago) that I would plateau there but beginning to see quite an acceleration. If I judge just the right turn speed on F2L it seems I can get 22-23 without an issue but I am finding it difficult to stop speeding. I think the breakthrough is never having to look back at the pair I'm solving.

Hoping to grab another pb or 2 in the next 2 days with this lovely weather and this awesome natural light!

And aye, my business trips to London are pretty fluid, I arrange them for when I want so hopefully I could make a London meet. Maybe we should look at what would be necessary to make it a comp? I'd be happy to lend a hand with arrangements. But a meet is good also

 

[Godmil]

Darn Selkie, that's quite a speed you've been improving lately, you're totally leaving me in your dust.

Also +1 for Scottish Meetup

 

[TwoTrees]

We would have to make an official thread so everyone could sign up. Definitely think a meetup would be our best option now and then turn it in to unnoficial comps and then maybe official in the future.
