UK Championship 2015

Is anyone else arriving into Stevenage at around 9? It would be cool to have someone to find the venue/split a taxi with! PM me if you're around.
EDIT: nvm, apparently the venue is super close!

Please:

Judge other groups when you are not competing - there are 100 competitors more than usual, it's going to be stressful for all of us if we can't keep to the schedule.
If we ask you to help us with something, we are not picking on you - we just need help. we can't always keep track of how often you've judged already. If you feel like there are people who aren't contributing, let us know.

Please don't give us hassle when we ask you to judge. Just go up and do it.

If we have to waste 1 min each time we ask a competitor to pull their own weight it becomes incredibly frustrating.

The venue is just a three minute walk from the train and bus stations, a taxi is not really needed unless the weather is hideous. If you ask for directions to the Tesco superstore, you will be pretty close. The store exit on the south-east corner is metres from the venue.

From the train station:
Leave the station in the East direction, cross a pedestrian footbridge over a dual-carriageway. Once over that, take a flight of stairs on the North side down to the road-side. Go North for 60 metres, until you reach a road junction. At 'two o'clock' is the Tesco store and large car park around it. Head for the store entrance on the corner, then carry on 50 metres eastwards. Ibis/Forum is on your right.

Damnit, I knew I should've brought my compass!

wonderful, thanks! i was wary with it being so late, but if it is really that close then i should be fine i guess.

Compass? Can't modern phones do that trick? Do I need to provide star maps for those arriving by Tea Clipper in darkness?
If you end up in Luton, don't blame my dodgy directions.

 

[Christmas]

FTFY

 

[newtonbase]

Goals
2x2 - sub 20s average, don't come last
Pyraminx - sub 30s average, don't come last by a lot
3x3 - PB average, sub 40s please
4x4 and 5x5 - make hard cut
3BLD - get a successful solve, this is my main aim of the comp
Don't get stressed, especially about 3BLD.
Really looking forward to meeting up with the older cubers and seeing some of the faster cubers in action and I'd like to see a record or 2 fall.
It's a real shame I can't stay over and have a drink.

I will be filming a lot around the place, just a heads up in case.

Not sure if I will film the Q&A, chances are probably but lunch is cool as well tho

Definitely will be recording the table POV during finals but not sure about table - I think Nevins is recording but my camera can record 60FPS and his can't so I'll try and sort that out
Anyway this looks to be a very promising competition as with the next in Cambridge although I don't think I'll be able to go. See y'all there

 

[mark49152]

Half way through my journey so looks like my first goal of actually making it is likely to be met!

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

I too will also probably be recording a lot this comp. Was thinking of maybe making a video not too dissimilar to Cyotheking's vids on the last few US nats, myabe. If I get enough decent footage. And if my camera doesn't fail on me again.

Hope nobody has a big problem with this.

Nice, I'll be sure to watch it! I really hope the video I'm making doesn't turns out to be like the one I was supposed to make for ABHC and literally have 20 seconds of footage to work on because the camera I bought for this is pretty dank so I'm counting on myself in 13 hours time to record alot

 

[DJ4Y]

Is there anyone who wouldn't mind filming one of my 3x3 rounds? I really want to get an official average uploaded on my channel, especially since it's my first comp.

I can film 60fps on 720p if you're wondering. I doubt that I'll be filming the finals, I think someone else will do it so I'd rather film the crowd during finals.

Just fer info:
If any of you feel the urge to visit a proper old pub for 'refreshments', the place to go is Old Stevenage High Street. This is directly North from the Tesco superstore, less than 10 mins walk. At the rear (North end) of the store, there is a staircase up to an elevated walkway/cycle-path. The walkway takes you North over a dual-carriageway, and down onto the 'Great North Road' of old. Another 200 metres and you're near the nice old Holy Trinity Church, and the first of many old pubs, that were once coaching stops on the North Road. The Chequers, The Coach & Horses, Marquis of Lorne, Red Lion, White Hart, White Lion, Proverbial + more.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

Ay all. I missed the train I was supposed to get on, so I'll probably be late and miss that intro at 8:45. Would anyone with a camera be so kind as to record it for me if I'm not there on time?
Ta.

I doubt the into will be much more than Adam saying how we ALL have to judge. Not to intersting.
