It would be nice to have a comp in Scotland actually. As far as I'm aware there haven't been any competitions here, ever! I don't think Scotland would be a realistic suggestion for this comp, but possibly in future. I think a good time/place would be Edinburgh, right after the festival in August (so start of sept). It would mean folks can make a holiday of it, and maybe catch the end of the festival. There are plenty student unions which might be able to offer up a cheap venue...

If you can come up with a venue that also serves as accommodation then it simplifies things massively.

Ah yes, because I do not live in Scotland and therefore do not have a flat for everybody to sleep in :P

Check out some youth hostels perhaps? Or at least venues near youth hostels?
 
Wow, OK I'll look into it ... I've only been to one competition myself so far so very new to this kind of stuff, but I'll make some enquiries and see what I can come up with. So the general idea is to find cheap accommodation, close to (or part of) a cheap venue. Budget-wise, what would we be looking at for the venue, maybe £500 max?

EDIT: Oh and flat-wise no-can-do, unless folks are up for camping :p

EDIT2: Also, what kind of square meterage are we looking for?

I think we should PM about this, or email because otherwise this thread is going to be totally hijacked. Send me a brief message to [email protected] and I'll send you something tonight about what to look for.

And no, £500 is a low budget for a venue. At least in the city centre in the south it is anyway. :p
 
I'm leaving for Canada on the 26th of July so I can make this competition now, looking forward to it :)
I'll also be able to make UK Nationals definitely, for what it's worth.
 
Hi Everyone, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Robby, I'm very new to Cubing only really picked on up about 6 months ago. My Daughter brought one home from a party one day and wanted me to help her with it so I decided to learn it. Thankyou Dan Brown!

I've found it's something that I really enjoy I've done a few timed runs and have gotten it down to under two mins my personal best being 1.16 Sophie my 7 year old daughter has managed a time of 3.47! I expect great things from her!

I'm hoping we can attend the forthcoming event although we might have to leave registration until the last minute because my wife is expecting our third child at the end of June.

Hello Robby! Nice to have another UK cuber around - there's quite a few of us on here. The Masters will be awesome fun - do come along! And learn some other puzzles too (like 2,4,5,pyraminx) so you can compete in lots of things :)

Hey! Welcome.
Plymouth ey? That's pretty much where I'm from, well a little bit up the A38. My dad worked on the barbican for a while. Nice to know there's someone else in the area! I'll be back for the summer in a few weeks, we'll have to have a meet and talk cubing sometime!
 
Hello everyone :), I'm Kanneti. It is my first message here, and I speak english not very well, so, don't blame me :D
This year, I want to come for the UK Masters, and I will go by hitch-hicking from France ( and by ferry, of course, but I will pay the ferry :D ), and I want to stay in Bristol for a more few days for visit, (like coming on wednesday before the competition, and go back the wednesday after the competition) so, I wondering if someone can accomodate me (I found this word on google translate, so I don't know if it is appropriate for this context :D )
So, thank you for advance :)
See you soon :)

Salut Kanneti!

The date has not been 100% confirmed yet (venue hasn't replied to me) so it could change to the weekend before. It will be made clearer in the next two weeks.

Normally I would say you can stay at my place (I am the only one who lives in Bristol really) but I am not sure I will be here at the time and afterwards I will be going to Czech Open very soon as I am visiting Prague before the actual competition. On Friday and Saturday night of the competition everyone will stay with me I expect, so those nights will be okay, I just cannot confirm before and after.

There is a cheap hostel that you can stay in otherwise! :)
 
Hi Charlie

I forgot that I have to stay in Paris doing some stuff concerning my college, so, the sooner I could come is on Thursday or Friday. Thank you for accomodating me :) (can I stay the Sunday night too?)
For the time after the competition, I think may be I will go visit London.
Concerning the week of the competition, if it is the week before, I will go to the First Chamal'open 2010, so, I hope you will not change anything :)
You will go to the Czech by what? Plane? Car?

Aww...I could take you around London if I didn't have exams :o
 
Hi!

I'm a french cuber too, and I want maybe to come.
So, I must inform my mother about the competition.
When can we have sure date and venue?
I go chamal open (3/4 july) too, and the actual date is good for me.
Thanks for your reply,
Hippolyte!!!

PS: sorry for my english, it insn't my favourite language :D (but, I'm never been in England; maybe I like better english after...)
