UK Open 2012

[timelonade]

This is what I'm thinking of doing aswell, but be careful, as there is only 1 train on the sunday morning, and that service is partly by bus. However there seems to be a few people driving down from there so maybe we can organize some car pooling for the sunday?

LOL oh yeah the bus to East Midlands Parkway.

There is a National Express bus going from Broadmarsh Bus Station (near Nottingham train station) to Leicester coach station that takes about an hour an is £2.70 if we get it in advance!


~Then it's a half an hour walk from the coach (LE1 3AG) to the o2 academy (LE1 7RH)... or an 11 min bus apparently

What time is this coach, and does it run on the sunday?

£3.80
07:50 NOTTINGHAM (Coach Station) LEICESTER (Coach Station) 08:50 1h 00m 0
£2.70
08:20 NOTTINGHAM (Coach Station) LEICESTER (Coach Station) 09:10 0h 50m 0

But that's the story on Sunday morning (4th Nov)
And there are buses back to Nottingham until

Double post, I know.

But does it get cold this far north in November? I need to know how many blankets to pack for hotel focus.

Hmm, looking at google maps, the coach station is further away from Notts uni than Beeston station, which is what I was looking at. Also, although it's cheap, 8:50 is cutting it a bit fine because events start at 9:15, so I think i'm going to stick with the train if I can't get a lift. sorry :/

In case anyone is interested, MLSTRM initially won the registration race (yes somehow he beat me even thought I was the one who opened registration!). But rather embarrassingly he failed to tick all the event boxes and had to add OH just now so has had to relinquish his victory. As 3rd place finisher, Alex Lau is now the victor.

Heh. :3
Still more people signed up for megaminx than clock though :b

Just to let it be known, I might be able to offer lifts from Nottingham to Leicester on both days. Apparently Rob and Chris were both asking.

Heh. :3
Still more people signed up for clock than megaminx though :b (as a proportion of the worldwide participation in the 2 events)
UK clearly values clock
