UK Open 2008?

[joey]

AMS -> Leeds, should also be around 126 EUR. With Jet2.com

I also suggest you look into easyjet.com for flights to London, it seems they could be cheaper than Ryanair.

but then getting a train to manchester is kinda annoying?

 

[joey]

Well, Ron already talked of getting a plane to London so...

Come to leeds! I just want to say that Ron VB was in Leeds! And maybe even in my house, if he needed somewhere to stay! (and it is quite close to manchester anyway)

Cubing celebrities! =D ... calm down... =P

I'm still unsure if I'm going, but I'll need to find out soon for registration and whatnot.

Manchester =/
That's too far for me.

 

[joey]

Where do you live? Surely it can't be much of a train journey.

 

[Escher]

how many can we expect? i know theres still a few months but 24 is a pretty small number of people...

 

[joey]

Last year there was 33, but that included a teacher and her school class. So 24 seems reasonable. Considering it's hard to drive here, so not too many people will come from abroad.

How long do we have to put our name down?

Also, I think it would be good if we did a big cube solve (meaning, 27 cubes, aranged to form a Rubik's cube, and then solved by a bunch of people). It's something I've wanted to do for ages =P

I live down south plus i'm 14 and my family/friends hate my cubing

^ that is a great idea

 

[joey]

Just save up some money and get a train. This is basically the only chance you can go to a competiton.

 

[CharlieCooper]

If you don't go, you'll regret it. This is the only chance you'll get in a while so just GOOOOOoooooooooo!!

 

[Garmon]

I'm going, even though it's far I have to go.
Also what about a Wales open some day?

i'd like sucessful blds, any time is good with me.

i'd like a sub 22 average i think for 3x3. i'd also like to just general improve my official times. otherwise i'm not really bothered, i'm just competing for fun more than anything because my favourite events aren't at the uk open.

organise one. i live in bristol, i tried to organise one and failed. i guess if i were sucessful though, it would be close enough to wales?

Bristol would be good, you should try again, your more experienced, I don't even know any other speedcubers not even mentioning WCA delegates

Should I mail Dan asking if I can register for OH aswell then? 3 minutes just then but with few weeks practice, I dunno.
