Official Northern Irish Open 2013

Greetings! The competition is now official for the Northern Irish Open 2013!

The competition will take place on the 6th & 7th of April 2013 (Saturday & Sunday).

The venue is approximately 45 minutes away from the Belfast International Airport by train. The price is approximately £10 for a one way ticket.

Travel page on UKCA.org

Ballymoney is close to lively towns such as Coleraine, which has a cinema, restaurants etc. - almost a city. In addition, the venue is fairly close to the Giants Causeway and other tourist attractions that may interest some of you; this may interest any parents that are bringing younger competitors. Accommodation can be found in the area.

Google Maps links:
Here is the Train Station in Ballymoney. Change to street view, then follow the straight road up the hill, and you will arrive at the Venue.

If you have any questions, email me at: [email protected] or ask on the thread.
Information is available here -> UKCA/Northern Irish Open

I would be interested in coming. The only problem is money, as I'm planning to go to worlds next year. Which airport is it near, and how much is the train to the town approximately?
As for dates, 30th March -> 13th April would be good for me, since thats my easter holidays ;)

Surely you mean all events ;) (It's definitely possible with a 2-day comp, especially since I dont think it will be as busy as UKO for people.)
 
The Belfast international airport would be the one to fly to because it is closer and most flights from Britain don't fly to the other airport.
It costs approximately £10 for a one way ticket to Ballymoney. I can't seem to find the price for a return ticket but if/when I do, I will let you know :D
 
I may go but i was also thinking of going to some other comp in europe in 2013. Fun fun fun, maybe I'll do mutiple foreign comps

What sort of environment is the venue. Artificial lighting? Carpet? Huge stages?

No big cube or multiBLD attempts, so maybe not :/ However...

More likely to be swayed to come to this :)

Poland and Finland comps have all events

Lol we should make a thread or a facebook group about going to a foreign comp next year rather than post off topically on this thread, as some people get quite upset when we do this

Do it on Facebook, more people have that. Also, easier to change the topic of which comp to go to on Fb ;)
