Bristol Open 2009

[Escher]

Well at present at my place there will be me, Kris, Barabara-Ann (she has a cage though), Lars, Arnaud, Adam, Grace, Olivér for sure. There are potentially other Hungarians/Dutch people coming, but that's the definite list I think. As long as you don't mind bringing a mat and a sleeping bag that's fine with me, we will just have to pretend to be sardines. Same goes for you Michael, if you are without kids you can rough it at mine. I also have two sofas and a futon thing which is probably fine for 1 person or 2 people that really don't mind sleeping on each other

I have no idea how many people that is now but I think it should be okay... One other thing is that Sunday night I can't really have people to stay unless you are REALLY stuck and as quiet as a mouse

That sounds like a party, mat and sleeping bag would be fine
Friday and Saturday night would be great (if that's ok), we can get a train back after the competition on Sunday evening.
Thanks so much, it'll make a massive difference

Yeah that's fine. Just bring squishy stuff

I call dibs on the futon thing with anyone that is willing to sleep on me

Lol I think Adam and Grace kinda already had their eyes on that one... You can mud wrestle for it.

 

[joey]

I *might* be able to offer a few places, since it's where my bro lives.

Rules for the futon:
1) Eyeing it is not enough, you have to call dibs on it
2) I will mud-wrestle for it anyway because that sounds like a lot of fun
3) I will not share the futon with anyone that was involved in mud-wrestling and didn't shower afterwards

....and it makes sense that Joey can offer a couple of places. He probably went there, pied in the house (hopefully in the toilet) and claimed it as his

Yeah Joey take some people, although where your bro lives is going to be far enough away from the venue up a lot of hills, just so you know

 

[joey]

Well, he has moved somewhere else now I think... and we can just get a taxi

Yeah even so, the venue is in no way near to the student areas just so you know.

 

[Toad]

I might be able to come to this as my first comp ever... That would be mega exciting...

But yeh, I've got some friends who live there who I might be able to stay with but I dunno...

 

[MichaelErskine]

Is the date confirmed yet Charlie? If so could you tell us the venue too?

The manager is phoning me before the end of the day, so there is still a two hour window. I don't want to tell you what the venue is until it's secured...

The date will be confirmed when they phone back.

 

[pjk]

I plan to make this one.

Definitely looking to either share a hostel room with someone or sleep on someones floor.

Please come, it will be nice to see you again I think there are also easy plane links between Austria and Bristol Airport!

 

[MTGjumper]

Yay!

Wow, this is earlier than expected. I'll need to get booking a place to stay and stuff.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Ok so I've been to the venue. The space is big, and it's quite a unique venue I think, unlike what I've been to before. It's OLD.

The chairs are a bit rubbish and very worn, and there aren't many tables. I am going to have to rent some I think, more cost. Rubbish.

The people were lovely though and there is a bar there and they said they'd offer us some drinks and stuff which would be cool. There isn't a supermarket near like Swindon but it's the only feasible cheap way of getting a venue this centrally really. Failing my table/chair plan, I am hoping that you will be all very accepting of horrible chairs and tables

Wow, sounds cool - apart from the furniture problem. What is the venue?

Hi Michael, sorry I didn't answer your call, I'm always like ARHARHGHAGEG WHO IS THAT?!?! If i don't have the number stored!

There is a link in the first post of the thread.

I did take some pictures. The venue IS good, but the furniture is really a bit of an issue... there aren't enough tables really and the chair situation is a bit grim. They are all very worn chairs with holes in etc. I'm not sure how much people would tolerate that!
