Australian Nationals 2012

[Dene]

I didn't say there wouldn't be many people going, just that a lot of people from Melbourne and Sydney might not be able to attend. If there was a sufficient community further north in Australia then Brisbane would be a great location. We don't just have to cater to the Melbourne and Sydney cubers.

 

[bryson azzopard]

i still think it should be in melbourne because there melbourne cubers than any other state

 

[Dene]

I think it should be in another state because Melbourne cubers get lots of competitions and other cubers don't get many. In saying that, there would have to be a sufficient community for it to be worth going somewhere else.

This is why we are trying to host a competition in Sydney in April. If you haven't already seen it, check out the thread.

Bump

So have we decided on a venue yet, or is that still under consideration?

 

[Dene]

As far as I'm aware no effort has been made to organise a venue for ausnats. Personally I think we should do it at high point.

I disagree. **** public venues.

 

[megaminxwin]

Ergh... not a public venue. Haven't been to one, but I can already tell how that'd work out.

This, and also Highpoint is a ***** to get to compared to the city.

 

[megaminxwin]

I'm getting a strong anti-Highpoint sentiment here.

 

[Tim Major]

Highpoint is quite close to me, I go there relatively often (though Borders closed so no moar manga D:<).
My hate comes purely from the fact it's public. Also aircon, lighting, seats, etc is out of our control. There is a great stage though...(with a seating area).

 

[andojay]

Yeh highpoint is great with stage but is it safe to have so many on one stage with walking up and down stairs ( I assume) Is it big enough to have competitors, runners and judges on stage? - i think we'll need a field trip
I don't mind but it is a bit of a pain to get there via public transport
I think the shops open at 10am

Docklands anyone?

Or Chadstone ( just so I have an excuse to go there and shop hahahaha)

There isn't any good place in Chadstone to have a Comp there, though. Besides they would clear the area in the food court downstairs

 

[bryson azzopard]

any updates like the venue?

 

[megaminxwin]

...I have the perfect image for this, but whatever.

Doesn't look like it at the moment. Especially considering there are other competitions closer to now, we should probably be fixating on those slightly more.

 

[TimMc]

A venue hasn't been confirmed for Australian Nationals 2012.

We still need to sort out Melbourne Winter 2012...

Tim.

 

[David Zemdegs]

MWO 2012 - July 21 onwards would be nice

 

[god of rubic 2]

Could we have the Melbourne Winter at RMIT again or some place in the city?
