Weston-super-Mare Open 2012 (UK)

[MaeLSTRoM]

Hi Guys,

I'm starting to get another UK comp organised for the 14th/15th of July in the town of Weston-super-Mare, near Bristol.
Venue is currently set as the Winter Gardens (google it for info ) and kinch2002 is provisional delegate. The competiton will include all official events, and maybe some others if there is time.

The reason I've made a thread is to find out how many people would consider coming, so I can tell if it would work or not. There would probably be a limit of 40 competitiors, but please respond if you think you might come along.

The website for this competition will be http://southwestcubecomps.webs.com/

Registration will open May 1st at 6:30 PM BST (UTC+1)
Registration will be done through the WCA site.

You probably should have told people it was a UK competition in the title. :b
Yes I can go OBVIOUSLY.

 

[dr01d3k4]

I might be able to go. I know I won't have any exams near then and it's a weekend so I won't be disturbed by school, so it just depends on if I can get there. I hope I can though - my first competition

 

[speedpicker]

I reckon I can be there, probably bring a couple of friends too.

 

[5BLD]

I probably won't be able to because my parents are already irritated with RO.

 

[Zyrb]

If the limit is 30, I probably wouldn't go because I can only go out on sundays, and I'm sure someone else would love to compete both days. It sounds like a good idea though.

 

[ben1996123]

Maybe.

 

[MTGjumper]

This sounds good.

Bristol... y u so far away

 

[timelonade]

I'd love to be there, so long as I'm not in America... .


Also +1 to chrissyD's point, I don't understand why nottingham can't just be the centre of the cubing world :'(

 

[Kirjava]

awesome

 

[Muesli]

Eugh, Bristol again?

 

[scotzbhoy]

Pretty sure I'm available that weekend. If so I'll definitely be there

I will be still working at that time which means I should have sufficient funds (Return trips between Dublin and Bristol at that weekend cost 120 euro ) but also have to go back early on Sunday.
If I'm coming I will most likely take the plane back departs at 3:10pm on Sunday from Bristol. I hope the venue won't be too far away from the railway station otherwise I have to leave very early or maybe can't take any events on Sunday at all..

The venue is about 5/10 minutes walk away from the station, so it should allow enough time for you to still take part in stuff on sunday.

Can probably make this one I think, need to look into it more. Hope to make it and see everyone again.

Edit: Btw, this time the Pokemon is actually part of my memo system, for the letter k .

 

[kinch2002]

I might turn up. But only because if the main prize is a giant plush Kangaskhan

 

[blakedacuber]

[Escher]
