Yes...
But 1:30 isn't really any sort of goal. You should aim for sub50 at least.

Now I've stayed in some really rough places, but even I chose to sleep in my car that night.5. The horrible hostel was 007 Hostel or something (the name alone should get the sirens going).Me and Dan stayed there. Aviod at all costs.Trust Daniel and doudou and me, Full Moon can't be worse
Trust me - I would rather sleep on Brokeback Mountain than 007.
It smelt of general horribleness, had Vicky Pollard and her boy(?)friend doing something the kids shouldn't know about behind the counter.

Ah, I live in Birmingham. The only competition I know that has been here was UK Open 2007. I wasn't even cubing then, I wish I was.
That competition was obscenely hot and sweaty. That was my first impression... OMG WHY DON'T CUBERS WASH?
A few points to cover things that have been said in recent posts:
1. YHA is the best and probably the only hostel you'll want to stay in. There are other hotels that may have good deals (especially if you cram three in a double room or something) such as a Travelodge or Premier Inn (google is your friend). Booking in advance with them could get you a very good deal.
2. There is no registration cost for this competition as it is all funded by Seventowns rather than the ones I normally organise that aren't at all (which is why we ask for £10 a day ish to cover venue hire and materials). So really, spending some money on somewhere to stay isn't so bad!
3. Registration is not yet online because Ron has been busy with German Nationals and the WCA page hasn't been created (although I expect it will pop up today/tomorrow). In addition to registering there we will also probably ask that you e-mail [email protected] so we have your contact details/dietary requirements etc.
4. The cider boat will definitely be on our list for Saturday night and I expect we'll all go out to eat before that (somewhere kid friendly as there are some underagers amongst us). Friday night I don't mind having something at my place as a lot of people will be staying there anyway but it is bonfire night so maybe we can go and watch the fireworks. This of course depends on when everyone is arriving... which could be all sorts of times, so maybe not.
5. The horrible hostel was 007 Hostel or something (the name alone should get the sirens going).
So, money wise - money for where I will be staying and money for food?
What else?
If you don't really drink uhhhhh..... £10 will probably cover it XD
Ah, cool.
Make that £15 just incase.
So, cost of hostel, £15 for Saturday night, what else?
