Just looked up where Harrow is. Seems I can get there in an hour by train. Would be a nice first comp if the family could do without me. I'd be out first round of everything so might only need to do the Saturday.

0 GBP, probably some petrol though.

Premier Inn is currently £174 for 3 nights in a twin room which was a double and a single bed last time so £20 a night per person if you have 3 in a room.
Also each event (except MBLD) will have all rounds/attempts on a single day, newtonbase.

0 GBP, probably about £10-15 on underground trains.

I'm definitely interested in a 3-day comp, but not on May 23th-25th because I'm already registered to the competition in Antwerpen.
(And as a side note (or a main note ?
), I really hate when people start to make a difference between "main events" and "side events". For me, events are events period, only some of them are more popular than others.)

People should get oyster cards. It's £5 deposit, and then pay as you go. The prices are much cheaper than standard Underground tickets e.g it's £1.50 if you travel within zone 3 only.
You can get your remaining balance and deposit back if you want to return it afterwards too.

Awesome! My exams finish on the 21st May so I would almost certainly be there 
I think I paid well over £100 for trains/accommodation, but that's mainly because my uni is so far from London.

Wow... You had to pick the WORST date for me didn't you Sadly I wouldn't be able to make any of the days. I really think that you don't really need 3 days for a comp it seems just fine with 2 days and the date seems to not work with quite a few people. So... Preferably I would like it on a different date which is 2 days but a 3 day comp would be fine.

It's the weekend before my dissertation is due in, so I wouldn't be able to make it, sorry >.<
EDIT: 'side events day' sounds like my kind of jam, though

I voted for a different date of comp - my exams finish mid/early June - but moving the date so far back isn't a great alternative. So I probably won't go and disregard my vote.
A 3day comp would be cool though...

In my honest opinion, I think a 3 day competition would be much better for something like the UK Champs.
There is a UK bank holiday on the 31st of August, so maybe (this is just a wild suggestion) the UK Champs could be moved to the weekend of 29th and 30th of August, with an extra competition day on the 31st?

I only put GBP because my phone had no £ symbol.

Too close to exams for me, however I think Harrow was a good venue, and if I could have made it then I would have been happy for it to be in the same place again. Regarding the August bank holiday, Adam and I should be organising a 3-day competition in Manchester that weekend if all goes to plan.

Bad timing I am going camping. Hopefully my vote will win.

I would definitely go to this.. if it weren't smack bang in the middle of exam season.
If this could be delayed until maybe the start of July? I think that would have a stronger turnout, as I and many others I assume would have to miss this if it were held on the dates suggested. (and it would be a nice exam reward for us
And, if possible, could a different location be selected? I understand that the Harrow competition was a great success, but the location meant I could only attend one day at Harrow Spring.
I will obviously understand if there were more people in favour of keeping it at Harrow, but it would be nicer if it were elsewhere (perhaps the ARM building in Cambridge? Bigger venue too.)
Just my two cents.
I totally agree with you. the date would be so much better a bit later and the Arm building in Cambridge is a great place to have comps- its also a 15 minute walk from my house, so yeah.

After exams would be great - I can see how it wouldn't happen tho.

How about we have comps after exams AS WELL as this one?
Sorry that so many won't be able to make it but the exam period is quiet long when you consider GCSEs, A levels and all further education.
