Nottingham University Comp. May 4th-5th

[MichaelErskine]

Hooray for my 10 minute exact 7x7 official solve!

 

[Echo Cubing]

Look forward to that

Arrrgh, so undecided... really want to go, it's been too long since I was at a comp and I've missed the last couple, but I've got an exam on the 8th and won't have any money until the end of April, so not leaving a lot of time for booking stuff. Hm. I'll see how exam revision goes.

What's with the lack of hotels in Nottingham?

 

[kinch2002]

You might want to take into account that the comp isn't particularly near Nottingham city centre. The Uni is in the Beeston area (just Google map it)

There isn't one! (a lack of, I mean)

 

[ryanj92]

Just so you know, there's a Travelodge on the top end of Beeston (it's down as Nottingham Wollaton Park on the website), that's ~5 minutes drive away from the venue, or like 20-25 minutes walk

 

[~Adam~]

I saw it on the map. We'll probably end up there but expensive cab ride from town if we end up there in the evenings. Unless anyone is up for Campus 14? Ah, that brings back lack of memories.

Solve/average in each bar?

 

[~Adam~]

And a pint or double.

And a pint or double.

All implied

 

[CHJ]

when is this going to put up on the WCA?

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

when is this going to put up on the WCA?

When we get the venue confirmation basically. Shouldn't be very much longer now. I'll start putting the other stuff on UKCA in the mean time.

30 places. How quickly will they go?

I bet sub 20 mins.

 

[ryanj92]

This event is being heavily supported by the Nottingham Physics Society (as our speedcubing group is not affiliated with the university, it's been very difficult for us to get a venue on our own). As such we should expect their presence during the weekend, and possibly small events organised by them, with the entry fee being steep for society members who may just wanna come down and solve 3x3x3 for a bit, we should be able to facilitate that.

 

[~Adam~]

Might let my place go to someone else. Tim doesn't feel like going so the price has just doubled, I couldn't get the Friday off and I'm moving the week before. I guess I've got a few days to decide. Would like to visit my old lecture theatres, the possibility of campus 14 and getting to cube with awesome people is going to make the decision hard though.

 

[ryanj92]

haha, i think comp's scheduled to end between 7 and 7:30 on saturday, so there's potentially room for a C14 if we get on it straight after comp finish
Don't worry about it if you've got a lot on, though

 

[angham]

Due to exams, i'm not going to be able to make this one
Sorry for missing another of your comps chris
