That's fine, your bro can just hang outon his own on his birthday

I think you and Rowan are staying at mine btw.

Ahh yes, Rowan said something about this. That would be awesome, thanks very much!

Will I have to pay the guest fee for my little boy? He is only five and we will have to bring sandwhiches and snacks for him anyway as he is allergic to milk. I'm not quite sure he wants to compete just yet either lol.

No it's fine, don't worry about it

REgistration is open now btw, it's been announced on WCA site.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Thanks to those who have already registered!

the timing for this will be a bit tighter than Swindon, i.e. 9-5 on both days, due to the hire costs. I've hired some chairs and tables also so we don't need to worry about that. On Saturday after we've finished day 1 we also need to remove the timers and our mess, if anyone can help with that it would be really appreciated!

Anyone that is staying at mine, will you have a car? I will need a hand to drive the drinks/snacks to the venue. Either that, or the army of people walking from mine can be prepared to carry lots

I'll bring a big fat walking/camping rucksack

 

[CharlieCooper]

Awesome.

I want to see how many foreigners drink squash neat again.

Does that mean I'll start getting masses of emails from you soon?

I won't have mine with me sadly, (car). she doesn't come with me to university. But me and grace are pretty good at carrying things

If I'm staying at your house Charlie (i.e. if I don't have Dawn and the kids with me) then I'll have my car for any transport needs: shuttling stuff to-from venue and getting people to-from airport and rail stations, etc.

Great, thanks Michael!

I will put up some more info about hotels and show the venue etc etc etc later this evening. I have to go to some classes now, but I'll do it when I'm back (that's if I'm not sidetracked by facebook games). Thanks to everyone who registered already! Olivér was first, he wins... something. The most interesting "tell me something about yourself" answer also might get something

Is there anyone who might be willing to sell their stackmat at the competition? It would be nice to finally have one

The great Robert Yau... doesnt have a stackmat

I may do my brother might want to sell his

If nobody else has one for you then you can have my spare - although it makes me nervous not to have a spare StackMat Timer within 10 meters

how do i convince my parents to drive 300 miles to bristol?

Train?

Hey there, didn't realise there was anyone so close to me cubing. I'm from Durham area, and considering going down to this, but not certain yet.

I was looking into possibly flying down, as easyjet flights are only around £30, MUCH cheaper than getting the train.

Still not sure if I'm going, but it's a possibility, and I'd be flying from newcastle...

You coming to UK Open?

I don't think offering his parents a train will convince them to take him

But yeh, click here to get good priced trains (go to Bristol Temple Meads)

EDIT: Say you'll contribute to petrol costs too... Can cost a bit but it's worth it for the journey.
