My main goal: to travel to, compete at and return from the competition, all without suffering any serious illness, injury or death.
Also James, turns out I don't need a lift there, I'm going to have access to the car for the weekend. This also means I'll have 3, possibly 4 spaces in the car, so if anyone along the M4 corridor needs a lift then PM me :)

No worries, mate.
 
Will anyone be driving to the comp Saturday morning, and going somewhat near Bath? Rather than paying for accommodation somewhere, I might just catch a few trains/car journeys from Bath.

Edit: seriously, are accommodation prices so high because it's holiday season?!

I should be driving past Bath on my way there, so I could pick you up.

I know it's a bit cheeky to ask, but is there any chance I could stay at your place Saturday night? It will guarantee you a lift to and from the venue for the whole weekend :-)

I'll need to work out the details, but that should work. Bear in mind it's about a 50 minute drive.

For what it's worth, the house won't have been lived in at all. Our tenancy starts on July 4th, and we won't be moving in for a while yet.

That would be great if that would work out. It's not a problem at all to drive 50 minutes. Just let me know when you know for definite.
 
OK, some goals:-

Single/Average
3x3: Sub 16 / Sub 20 (I know my Ao100 is about 18.5 but break sub 20 average is becoming a bit of a comp jinx for me so will be happy with sub 20)
4x4: Sub 1:10 / Sub 1:15
5x5: Sub 2:25 (Qualify for avg) / Sub 2:30
6x6: Sub 5:00 (Qualify for mean) /Sub 5:10
7x7: Sub 9:00
Others: Meh!
 
Because of the amount of people only doing 1 event, we have decided to let all of the people currently on the waiting list have a confirmed place. However, If you register now, you will go on the waiting list (Basically, we're refeshing it)
Due to this, we will need quite a lot of help with scrambling and judging, so please make sure you know what you are doing if you are a new competitor.
Also, We only get access to the venue at 8:45 on saturday, so can some people be there at that time to help set up so we can start at 9:00.

Well, it's less than a month, Hopefully I'll see you all there :)

One month(ish) to go, and I now have a confirmed spot (yey), I reckon it's time for some goals:

333: sub-13/don't fail
444: meh/sub-60
555: sub-1:45/sub-2
666: sub-3:30/sub-3:45
777: sub-5/sub-5:30
minx: don't fail
3BLD: sub-1:30
4BLD: STACKMAT!
5BLD: success
MBLD: comp PB

Mostly wanting the bigcube results (sighted and BLD). Also want Mollerz to finally get his 4BLD, that must be so frustrating! Also, when did you change your username from Yttrium?

The only BLD practice I've done since RDO is a 2/2 multi in 4:41 and a 4BLD in 11:xx off by 2 centres, can't remember time exactly. I'm working on speed for now, I'm going to be practicing BLD a lot after WSM though.

Also changed to Mollerz when I realised everyone called me Mollerz, it is my IRC name and people call me it at competitions so it made sense to change it here.
 
I am just going to ensure my name is up on the wca database a high up as possible, the highest i could get is either 9th in UK BLD or around 600th world for master magic.

Only issue both my magics have to many strings snapped and my order last week for more got cancelled, why do this to me?

Final thing, i will make sure not to panic just starting the timer like rapid dash, it cost me 2 DNF's

If you want to get as high as possible, do square-1. Im top 500 and had probably done under 100 solves total before i did it at rapidash
