Bristol Spring 2010

I have the people-carrier booked now: it's a 7-seater Zafira so we have seats for Me, Joey, Thom, Jude, Rowan, Simon and there's a spare seat.

Our route will be from Sherwood Nottingham, to Long Eaton to pick up Simon, join M1 at Jn 25, North to somewhere in Sheffield, pick up rest, South M1, M42 or M69, M5, Bristol.

If you're on the route then we might be able to fit you in but I guess there'll be plenty of sleeping bags and my excessive puzzles so the space probably won't go unused!

Great, thanks very much Michael.
How much did it cost you to hire? I'm happy to pay my share asap and get it out the way :)

It was £87.14 so straight split 6 ways makes £14.53 or £12.45 if we get another passenger. I dunno how much diesel we'll use but bear that in mind. If all you kids are broke then you'll have to pay me back in cubing lessons :)

I definitely can afford that! I'm finally earning a decent amount of money a week :rolleyes:
I wouldn't mind giving cubing lessons as well though ;)
 
oh this might be my first comp outside China:D
hopefully i can make more friends of cubers than the situation now in Ireland:(

i didn't bring my 2*2 and clock with me due to my overweight luggage:( so i'd greatly appreciate it if there's people who can lend me one in comp:)

and hope that i may get one prize for magics, though haven't trained for almost half a year:rolleyes: restart my training tomorrow;)

ps: does anybody can offer me a preferred tourist guide:) i may want to stay in the UK for about two weeks:cool:

I'm sure you will make lots of UK Cuber friends at the Bristol Spring Open. There will be lots of puzzle to borrow - I have some good 2x2x2s and an OK clock but Charlie bought my good clock!

Hi,

You can borrow a clock from me (I have a reasonable spare one) and a 2x2. I have white or black and I'm not sure which I shall use yet, but I can ensure we are in different groups once you have registered :) Edit: You have registered, sorry, I only just checked the account. I've added you to the website and will make sure we are in different groups for 2x2 so you can use mine.

For magic you say you hope to get a "prize"... that is indeed if there are prizes :P There will however be certificates for 1st-3rd places and medals for the top three places for each event too. Other prizes depend greatly on the amount of competitors and therefore overall budget, and before offering prizes for side events, they will probably go to the "main" events such as 2-5 :)

The UK cubers are largely all friendly, so I wouldn't worry about that. If you need any particular help with travel arrangements or recommendations about places to visit in the area, feel free to pm me for extra advice. We'll try to take photos which you'll be able to see afterwards, so don't worry if you can't borrow a camera!

thank u very much for the clock and 2*2;)
(i guess i forgot to write 2*2 in my application form:D please help me correct it:))
yep "prize" just means top three places:D
 
just bought a pyraminx and 2*2 from popbuying. wonder if i could receive them before the comp:( anyway i have to borrow a clock.. thanks Charlie:)
 
Just a repeat of what's on the site:

The registration deadline has been changed to February 28th. This
means that if you wish to register (or have registered but not paid),
you must do so by the end of this month. This is to enable the
organisers to prepare scorecards, certificates and name tags in
advance. Other things such as furniture hire and timers/stopwatches
etc. must also be considered in addition to any prizes that may be
available. The venue would like to have the time schedule finalised
by this point, which is not easy to do without knowing the final
numbers. If you have a particular difficulty in doing this, please
contact [email protected] as soon as possible. If you
do not register and pay by one of the methods detailed on the
registration page before the end of February you will not be able to
compete.

Thanks!

Charlie & Michael
