Yes

That's about the only area of Sydney that I know well... It's a bit far out by train. How would the travel be for most NSW cubers? 1-3 hours anyway?

Tim.

 

[Mal]

Me about an 1 km.

 

[chris w]

Penrith is kinda far, maybe 1hr drive or like 1.5/2hrs by train/bus, don't really know. But for comps it would be worth the effort and if its the most convenient for the majority of people then it would make sense to have things held there.

 

[bryson azzopard]

its like 2 and a bit for me but i like where its is

 

[yoinneroid]

if only this was held this month... >.<

 

[Damien Porter]

Penrith depending on the train you catch is just over an hour, to 1 and a half hours from Sydney Terminal.

I am a very new person to the Cubing world but would be happy to do any helping on or before the day.

ps I would love to see at least 1 bld event

I doubt it really makes that much difference, but just in case it does, I wanted to inform the organizers (Dene, TimMc, etc) that I voted on the poll but will now not be (or at least will very unlikely be) attending.
Basically, I just mean to say that one of the poll voters is not actually going (to give a better idea for numbers).
Also, I voted for the April 21 option. So less votes for that, too.

Thanks.

I'm interested myself, need to persuade my parents though...

I haven't voted yet because I don't plan that far ahead..

Oh, I am a Sydney cuber, and would the competition be held at Penrith?

Edit: It does look like it would be held at Penrith, so that's good, it's relatively a short drive from where I live.

 

[Dene]

We have no idea where the competition would be held. To be honest, we still aren't convinced that it is worth our time and effort to host a competition, although we still hope it will happen.

 

[Naillig]

Well, I hope that it could go ahead, but there are always the variables of people dropping out and other stuff... Well, there's still hope, still a few months away.

What next?

Some steps to take:

• Create a list of competitors (real first/last names)
• Agree upon a venue location (e.g. Penrith)
• Confirm an appropriate weekend for the competition.
• Identify organisers and helpers from NSW.
• Put some posters up and advertise around the location to get more interest from that area.

I think from the majority of what people in the Sydney thread have been saying Penrith seems to be a good choice. From there a date should probably become definite, then competitors, getting helpers and doing a bit of advertising would be the easy part

 

[Mal]

I will be happy to judge on the day. But when you mean penrith, do you mean penrith plaza? If so are you going to set it up like Australian Nationals 2011?

As melbourne folk we dont have a say really, but penrith is miles out from sydney central. I would have thought that for the first comp in sydney you'd want to attract a good central crowd. We'd rather start this with a sydney swans venue than a great western sydney venue to use afl speak.

I see..
Are you going to come?

Yes, more central would be good, just basing ideas from the majority of people that I've seen in the Sydney thread.

I know what you mean (except for all that AFL rubbish you speak of ), and I think a central location would be better, but I think we should be catering to the current bulk of the Sydney cubing population, and from what people have been saying Penrith is the place to be.

I might be able to go, but I'm not sure if i can use my cube because my pen exploded and some stickers have different amounts of blue ink to distinguish pieces.
