Shared travelling and other ways to make competitions more accessible

[r_517]

if visa is ok, i may arrive at London on March 26 and stay in London for about one week. the average cost for one night in hotel is rather high, and it's a bit far from Bristol coz the comp starts very early. so i wonder if anyone who also goes to the comp has a vacant place at home for me to stay on March 26 and 27 i'd greatly appreciate it

I would say stay at mine, but I'm afraid I am full up now sorry. I'm not sure there are other cubers in Bristol that will have space. Most of them do not live in the area.

thank you very much anyway i just read the information on ukcubemaster.com/accomodation, maybe i will stay there for a couple days

Ok so Arnaud don't worry about Joey, Chris, Chris, Teemu or me as we have a plan to get to the venue on Friday afternoon, which involves getting the train. Still expect visitors Thursday night though, we just made the travelling situation easier!

Hello everyone,
I have kindly been offered a position at the bristol open in march to sell some cubes at the event.
However, i have no way of getting there / back and have nowhere to stay.

So if anybody is going from / doesn't mind going through manchester and has a spare seat in their car please could you PM me or post a message here so i can hopefully get to the open.

Also if anyone has a place to sleep, even a tent or a floor near the venue could you do the same please as a hostel isn't viable when carrying tonnes of cubes around.

PS i am willing to contribute towards petrol costs to and from the event.

Thanks,
Andy

Funny, it seems that this thread pretty much died when Arnaud left for Asia and coudn't drive/host people anymore (so maybe this really was a "Arnaud's car reservation system" thread ?)
It's sad, it think it was a pretty good idea... So let's dig it up a little and hope people actually react !

Anybody know of any 2014 competitions in anchorage, Alaska, USA?

There hasn't been a competition in Alaska ever.
If you want to go to a competition, you're definitely going to have to travel, you could fly to west coast US, Canada, and maybe even Russia, but those are really far away, so if you want to hold a competition in Alaska, you need plenty of other cubers, you can hold a competition anywhere in the world if you have a cubing community there and be able to have a delegate come.

 

[Padfoot]

Could you tell me exactly how many people you mean by community?
