Attention all Kentucky Cubers... and any other cubers in the vicinity:

Would anyone be interested in starting up a cubing club for the area? It would be nice to have regular competitions in the area, even if they are small and nonsanctioned. I'm just kind of throwing this out there to see how many people would be interested. If you would be interested, post your name, age, and location.

I would also be interested in a Kentucky/Ohio or Tri-State Club for Kentucky, Illinios, and Ohio... any thoughts?

 

[ShadenSmith]

Yes Yes Yes!!!

I've held one competition (unofficial) here in Lexington, with 5 or 6 competitors. Sadly most aren't serious about it...just me and SD14 here in Lexington. But I would love to do this!

[SD14]

i am in were in kentucky you live Carson?

 

[Carson]

Somerset... which is due south on Highway 27 from Lexington. It takes about an hour to get from here to Nicholasville.

I'm all for including Ohio in this cubing club idea. We have a lot of cubers and some of them are really fast.

 

[CAT13]

If I had a way of getting there, then yes, but I doubt that I could. And I can't drive myself.

Any Ohio people feel free to let me know who you are, and what part of Ohio you are from.

Where do you live? It would always be possible to have a competition where you live, or near you.

Liberty township. It is about 30 minutes away from Cincinnati, so I don't know If people from Kentucky would like that so much.

 

[ShadenSmith]

30 minutes north or south of Cincinnati?

 

[pcharles93]

I live in Liberty Township too. Do you go to the Lakota school district?

 

[CAT13]

yeah. what school do you go to?



Shaden: North, If I were 30 min. south of Cincinnati, I would live in Kentucky

 

[pcharles93]

West High School. I'm going into 10th grade right now.

 

[CAT13]

Oh, I go to East. Also going into 10th grade.

 

[pcharles93]

That is really weird. And I was just complaining about no serious cubers living nearby a few days ago.

How close to Monroe is that? Perhaps if we had competitions in Cincinnati or Lexington, you could catch a ride with someone?

 

[Carson]

Bumping this since it just got moved to the speedcubing forum. Realistically, I believe we would need 10 or so people seriously interested to start this up.

How often would you plan on meeting? It is sort of inconvienient to drive several hours to meet, so if I were to come, it wouldn't be often. I am planning on officially starting a club at OSU this coming year, meeting frequently, but don't even expect anyone who doesn't go there. There aren't any cubers I am aware of in Columbus that do not go to OSU.

Meetings in person wouldn't need to happen often. The primary purpose of the club would be to organize competitions, so phone and internet communication would suffice most of the time. If there is sufficient interest, I will start up a website for us to use to communicate efficiently. I wouldn't want to pull traffic away from this site, so "our" site would be specifically used for area competition information and communication that isn't relevant to the general cubing community.

Are there any WCA delegates in the area that would be interested? There would be very little commitment on anyone's part. Perhaps four competitions per year...

Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio: 3 of the four states surrounding Indiana. We got Mike, Isaac, and me, couldn't we be included?

Ah, ok, that makes sense. I'd definately be interested in that case... it could even be considered a "tri-state" cubing club (OH, IN, KY) if people from all 3 states participated. And Illinois.

This also sounds like a good idea. Perhaps set up a site like the canadiancubing one. I'd be willing to work on it as I could... perhaps even host some of it. You can see what I've done on the Cincinnati sites, at least.

Yes, definately, I'd be interested. Provided I can really get a club going with a significant number of people, I already would like to organize a couple competitions at OSU this year, and I'd at the least help out with any in KY or Indianna if anyone holds one there.
