UK Nationals 2010

Pemblow.

So my last final is on the 4th I think. Leeds Summer Ball is the night of the 4th, ends around 5-6am on the 5th, I think. I am really considering going to UK Nationals on the 5th, and just pulling an all-nighter. I may also bring another cuber with me.

Let's do it.

Registered!

I don't yet know how I'm going to work out childcare and transport but I'll be there whatever! I updated a few bits on the website including the venue page and found that we'll be a stonesthrow from The Bag O' Nails. It would be a crime not to have a pint there!

**** yeah pat.

I sympathise, I am sandwiching Belgian between two important things in a really stupid way and will be arriving late Sat morning and leaving Sunday afternoon. Silly Charlie

That's the spirit, Charlie!


A quick Q - when is the reg fee due?

 

[ben1996123]

Why was it put back a week?

 

[MichaelErskine]

Why was it put back a week?

Here, let me just read the thread for you

UK Nationals will take place on Saturday 5th June and this is the final date. It is the only way I could secure a venue. The venue was unavailable the previous weekend as it was closed to the bank holiday.

A quick Q - when is the reg fee due?

It's okay, you can pay on the day. I will only be requesting payment in advance from unreliable or new competitors. If you and Brett need a place to crash by the way, I might be able to squeeze you in at mine.

Why was it put back a week?

It was changed to that weekend because I am moving house around that time and this was far more convenient for me, although still a bit difficult. It was also very difficult to get the venue for the length of time required for the weekend before (the venue isn't open so much on the Saturday due to it being a bank holiday) . This makes things cheaper for me, i.e. cheaper for the competitors as I haven't had to seek a more expensive venue. It's still half term week then so I figured it would probably still be okay for most of the people at school.

Might sound a bit selfish that I changed it predominantly to suit my calendar, but it was either that or cancel things entirely.

Free them spaces up for some others. We only live down the road. And, if we were to stay the night, Helen (being nearly six months pregnant) will demand a bed lol.

Also, some very exciting news!

Two brand new youngsters competing...

Frankie (James' little one, the adorable little blonde one who was at Bristol Open) is doing Magic and will be the youngest UK competitor ever, aged 5.

Sophie is Robby's (he just posted to introduce himself!) little girl, she's 7 and will be the youngest ever UK competitor at 3x3x3. (I've suggest he upload a mega cute video of her solving so we can all AWWWw)



Edit: Oh and and at UK Nationals 2011 we will have Charlie Ludlow as our youngest ever competitor at just under a year old

Hi all,

Just to say that Sophie and I are really looking forward to this, Sophie went mad when she found out she was not only attending but she would be competing too. All I'm getting at the moment is "Dad, can you scramble my cube..." "Dad, can you time me"? I'm so proud of her, she is practising like mad! She has managed a couple of sub 2s.

I'm looking forward to it too, I was telling Charlie that my other great passion is Star Wars and I decided to combine the two and (this is gen) I managed a sub 4 while wearing a full set of Stormtrooper armour! I videoed it but because of a format mismatch, I'm having trouble uploading it.

Anyway, looking forward to the day and meeting you all.

Robby
