Guildford Summer Open 2011 - UK Comp!

[Mollerz]

Unfortunately, the Travel Inn which is about a 20 minute walk is fully booked over the 30th July which is probably why it isn't mentioned. And there are no more other places to stay in or Guildford than the ones listed on the website. Your best option is probably at the Travelodge which is actually very nice.

Travelodge is looking around £50 from what I saw when I looked earlier.

I also saw that there is a YMCA, not sure of how close it is though, but that was about £20.

YMCA is pretty close to the venue. 10 minutes walk. And it's next to the station

 

[kinch2002]

YMCA it is for me then!

Twins rooms are probably cheaper than singles. If so, people should like 'pair up' and stuff

 

[Robbytrooper]

I'm pretty sure that there is a discount code for Travelodge that you can google and it gives you £15 discount I tried it a few months ago and it worked.

Just to make sure, this competition is WCA official, isn't it? If it is, when will get on the WCA site?

 

[cubersmith]

Booked the travel lodge and the train jorney and registered. Cant wait till the comp ;D ;D

 

[MalusDB]

not sure if i can attend, depends on money. But I wanna go! Give me something to practice for this summer!

 

[scotzbhoy]

YAY! A competition particularly near me! Can't wait
Would it be possible to pay on the day?

 

[kinch2002]

Where is the cheapest accommodation? xD

I'm not certain, but I've heard it might be the YMCA

 

[~Adam~]

Drive home or hotel? Petrol is £30 away so it'll probably be the latter.

 

[Robert-Y]

Anyone can pay in person, I'm okay with that, I'd just prefer people to pay online (if it's not too much trouble).

 

[Robert-Y]

Can anyone who hasn't registered, please register asap, or just let us know that you can almost certainly attend. I want to know roughly how many people we can expect. If we get around 40+ competitors (excluding Daniel and me), then I can buy some prizes for some if not all events.

Rob it says on the spreadsheet that I havent paid
When I have, I sent the payment after I registered

 

[Robert-Y]

Oops, thanks for telling me, Dan. I forgot about the guests/paid section for you.

 

[kinch2002]

Hate to ask for extra events, as you're already being super generous with all these, but any chance of Team BLD? :3

Edit; I'm an idiot, feel free to ignore this. xD

Thanks for the suggestion. I know a lot of people find this fun, but at this time we aren't really thinking of having any unofficial events as we'd like to have the widest variety that we can out of the official events

 

[clincr]

I'll register soon, 99% sure I can make it

 

[Kirjava]

I'm sure I'll do some TeamBLD with Rob at some point.

 

[MTGjumper]

I still need to pay and book a room. Anyone up for sharing?

 

[Robert-Y]

Small update: It's finally official

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

I've got several LunHui (all black), I got a few since I wanted more cubes for multiBLD. If anyone turns up with a spare ZhanChi (If they're released in time) I'll maybe trade one (only want black) to see what it's like. I will sticker it with the stickers provided and it will be reasonably tensioned, lubed with silicone, and sanded off at the points where the parts of the pieces meet (so there's no scratchy bit of flashing on the outside), and slightly broken in since I will use it a small number of times for practicing multiBLD.

See you all there .
