I've got a specific train ticket at a specific time. I will check later, if we can book the same one it would be nice

I'm also travelling from Nottingham, so judging by this thread there'll be plenty of cubers on the train leaving Nottingham station at 7:02 or 7:28? :>

The 7:28 train from Nottingham arrives at Leicester with plenty of time for the walk up London Rd from the station.

Damm.. I was just reading through the WCA regulations and read that competitor may be disqualified if not present for registration...
I am competing in just 2x2 on the saturday.. but won't arrive at the venue until around 10:15
Does this mean I can't compete in the event? :/
I can quite easily confirm that I am almost at the venue by text/phone...?

You'll be fine. Just find someone to take your name down when you do arrive.

This. The wording is 'may' so I have to power to disqualify you if I please. But I'm not that horrible. Just find one of the organisers when you arrive - there may still be someone at the door anyway.

I think people will be staying in a number of different hotels. Travelodge City Centre was fully booked (which may mean lots of cuber have booked there already!!) so we have opted for Premier Inn City Centre.

What have I done? Registered for 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 XD and I don't even own a 2x2 or 4x4, confident that once I order and get them I'll have them cracked to be able to at least SOLVE them in the comp 
My targets:
2x2: Gonna learn ortega once I get the cube, no idea what the time will be, sub 10?
3x3: sub-20 average: will be hard: my first comp so I'll probably be nervous, right now I'm averaging 22-23 so sub 20 would be a massive achievement if I can
4x4: Like the 5x5, learn how to solve it and finish in time xD
5x5: The only other non 3x3 I have, althought it's a shitty rubiks. Depending on how well I improve next month I'll hope for some decent times
October is gonna be a hard month for me :O

Sorry if I've missed something, but what time does the comp start and what time should we aim to be there?

What will the noise level be like in 3BLD? I need to buy earmuffs anyway - my room is right next to the kitchen with rowdy people up at all hours
