Northern Irish Open 2013

A (but I HAVE to be drunk on St Patricks day, no choice. Would be a good excuse to get out of the holylands though and avoid the imminent madness), B or C I would say would suit me best, but I should be flexible for all dates. Depends on Uni really but I can book any week off my part time job. Just would rather it didn't coincide with deadlines etc. GO GO GO NI OPEN!!

Hey Kelsey, is there a particular date by which you would need to have all the "votes" in on when it would be preferable to have the comp? Might be an idea to set a deadline to make sure nobody comes along saying aww if I had realised I had to decide by now I would have said x, so now i can't go. Just a thought.

Hey! Everyone that has responded has said that the 6th & 7th of April are suitable so I will probably choose that date. I will leave it for the weekend, confirm with Daniel that the date is okay, then I will book the venue and announce the date

Confirmed! Northern Irish Open 2013

Greetings! The venue has been booked for the Northern Irish Open 2013!

A room in the Ballymoney Town Hall is booked for the 6th & 7th April (Saturday and Sunday).
The venue is approximately 45 minutes away from the Belfast International Airport by train. The price is approximately £10 for a one way ticket.

http://tinyurl.com/niopentravel - this allows you to plan your journey from the airport to Ballymoney.

Ballymoney is close to lively towns such as Coleraine, which has a cinema, restaurants etc. - almost a city. In addition, the venue is fairly close to the Giants Causeway and other tourist attractions that may interest some of you; this may interest any parents that are bringing younger competitors. Accommodation can be found in the area.

If you have any questions, email me at: [email protected] or ask on the thread.
Information will be available here in the future: UKCA


Kelsey.

What events are there?

The draft schedule is still being put together, so it's hard to say at the moment. Hopefully will have a draft schedule in the next week

 

[blakedacuber]

what rail company is use in the north? I wanna see which would be cheaper flying to belfast and getting the train or train-ing the whole way.

Also, Any idea if an irish student card works up there?

 

[kelseymckenna]

Hey Blake. Translink is the rail company in Northern Ireland. http://tinyurl.com/niopentravel. I think you can get this to show prices for most journeys. And sorry, I'm not sure about the Irish Student card. I don't see why not, but I would make sure first

My student travel card used to work in NI for some tour bus services run by Ulsterbus which is a part of Translink, but I heard my friend's card was rejected later when he used Translink service. Anyway just bring it with you
