I booked a double room at the Premier Inn from Friday until Monday (3 nights). If anyone wants to share with me, just PM me.

Charlie, if you need any help in setting up the competition (in preparation or on the day) please let me know, I'm always there for you.
 
Thanks to everyone offering to help out with setting up on Friday. In order to make things run as smoothly as possible it will be easier for me to grab a few people from mine/Bristol based (Joey/Thom/Toad/Simon?) Is that okay with you guys?

I'm about to do a draft of the schedule. The important things are that first thing on Saturday will not be 3x3x3 but a smaller side event to allow people with longer journeys to get to Bristol in time for 10-10.30pm when the first 3x3x3 round will start.

There will be three rounds of 3x3x3 and two rounds of 2x2x2 and 4x4x4. Time permitting this may also include 5x5x5 final and one for Square-1/Clock given the high standard in the UK and it would be a good opportunity to give world class competitors to solve twice. These finals (except 3x3x3) will probably have 5 people in.

The main cube events will be spread over two days so that there is no 'side event' day, although unusually the finals will be on the Saturday, as will the under 12s unofficial competition. As for the format of the final, I am undecided. Time wise this is going to be a packed schedule, time limits for doing averages for example, will be quite tough so for the 3x3x3 final we can either have fewer people and a one by one situation, or more people with a normal round. Your thoughts please!

As there are quite a few new competitors, I would like there to be a "this is how you use the stackmat/put your cube down for scrambling/wait in the competitors' area" session. If possible I'd like this to run during the first event on Saturday (which will probably be magic and master magic). Can I ask two people to be available to do this for new competitors? Anyone will do, just as long as you aren't competing in magics and have competed before!

Another thing, sorry, I like to waffle, I am going to see if we can get a table at a restaurant in the evening on Saturday to relieve my long suffering flat mate and to avoid another McDonald's visit. Probably a Pizza Express or something like that. Naturally I'll need to book in advance, so express your interest - thanks!
 
I'm fine with helping out on the Friday, lectures officially finish at 2 and I need to be at Temple Meads station at about 8 so I can help between those times. If you need me outside of those times I'm sure it'll be possible anyway.

I'd also be happy to do that newcomers how2stackmat thing if you want, and most certainly interested in a restaurant trip (with my guest too)!!
