Bristol Open 2009

[CharlieCooper]

UPDATE: BRISTOL OPEN WILL BE HELD ON THE 21ST-22ND NOVEMBER IN THE CENTRE OF BRISTOL AT THE TRINITY ARTS CENTRE - http://www.3ca.org.uk/. MORE INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE LATER TODAY AFTER I HAVE GONE TO THE VENUE TO FINALISE THINGS. COMPETITOR FEE HAS TO BE £20, SORRY.


So yes I know you're thinking we only just had the UK Masters, but I need to get a head start on booking a venue for sometime at the end of this year. The UK Open will be in November at the beginning sometime, so the Bristol Open needs to be sometime between then and Christmas. Please make your preferences known so I can go ahead and book a venue

Maybe list three weekends in order of preference (this will be a two day competition again).

Anytime.

I can probably stay at my bro's house.

Wow! First time I check speedsolving.com today (which is unusual) and immediately I see this.

*checks his agenda*

 

[CharlieCooper]

is the first weekend of the school christmas holidays a bit too close to christmas? although i don't really care about christmas, i know a lot of people do...

 

[joey]

What date is that?

 

[CharlieCooper]

i guess it'll be 5th, 12th or 19th (those are the saturdays) in december. i think schools will break up the 19th, and unis like the 12th i think. hmm hmm opinions?

 

[Jason]

I hope you'll be organising a few competitions in 2010 as well. I'm British, yet I still haven't been to a single UK competition. I doubt I'll be able to make it to a UK competition this year as I'm a bit poor (Ph.D student) and quite busy (Ph.D write-up) but will definitely be coming next year if there are any

Would it be a weekend where the competition is over 2 days (saturday and sunday) or will it just be saturday or sunday?

The thing is, I have a job at waitrose and the evil personel woman doesnt allow people off in December and I work on saturday.

But thankfully not sunday

 

[CharlieCooper]

it will be a two day competition. i don't like one day competitions because i don't think it's long enough really, and it's a bit stressful. i prefer to have things spaced out a bit more. jason it would be good to actually meet you sometime

 

[joey]

I think my uni finishes 18th december, but I could probably make it down anyway.

 

[chrisness]

My vote would be for the 12th if poss!x

 

[CubingDuck]

Yess!! A bristol tournament! Thats only like half an hour from where
i live!!

 

[Edam]

I'm free whenever, and of course willing to help at least as much as I did this time.
I'm half thinking of organising something around march time. but that's just a little idea at the moment.

Jason, I'll hopefully meet you at worlds. But you should deffinatly come to this as well. We should talk magic

 

[cookingfat]

I'll try my best to come, Charlie. I'm going to put in some overtime to save some fuel money (my car is very thirsty!) If Rowan, Jude and someone else come with us again as well, that would help.

The nearer to xmas, the less likely it is I'll be able to come.

Oh btw, Kathryn has learnt Magic and is under 3 seconds already, so if we come, Kathryn will compete too, so she won't be as bored this time, lol.

 

[joey]

Can I put my name up for conditionally getting a lift?

 

[Kian]

Oh damn. I saw Bristol and my mind jumped to Bristol, Connecticut, not England. Quite a different commute for me.

Eh, Lazy Kian.

I have fingers crossed for not the weekend of the 19th as that's Ruby's birthday (and a bit too close to Xmas!)
