oh yes i am!
I missed the 2006 one because of the baby being due (and she was late!! I could have been there after all) so 2007, in my homeland.... watch out!
hi guys
postcode for the venue is CH7 1HS
there is a big carpark, with good access to get robots in.
the previously mentioned party had too few takers, so its up to you guys to entertain yourselves on the saturday night.... im sure youll be fine.
Important notice....
The competition part of the event will be a friendly competition. Damage will not be marked in the scoring, but otherwse its all out.
Last show saturday and both shows sunday will be competition with whiteboards for robots out of the competition. the 2 shows on saturday morning will be whiteboard and practice shows.
i think you are at the one just off the A483 on the Rhostyllen/Johnstown turn off.
Its got a few pubs within 5 minutes walk, town is a 5 minute cab ride away, there is a nice Indian half a mile away, and our favorite chinese 5 minute walk.
Having just looked at the map, and realising that getting from the Travelodge at Chester Northop Hall to the venue seems to be a b!@tch of a journey (cant see any direct roads - all seem to involve going round in loops ) were now booked in at the Wrexham Travelodge too - couldnt miss the chance to watch this curry malarky either
Just checked out various ways of getting to Wrexam as its closest, and its a 4hr trip AT LEAST, plus I have to go through Birmingham New Street, which, for anyone who doesnt know, is the 2nd biggest station in the UK, so I dont wanna go there if I can help it. Ill try and arrange other methods of getting there (not buses - 7hrs journey time !).
If anyone can help with my transport trouble Id be eternally greatful
Oh, and Im up for a pi$$ up after the event Not much of a curry fan though...
chester is often easier to get to, and is 20 minutes down the road by car. if you can get there im sure someone can help you out, or worst case there is a bus wrexham/chester every 15 minutes.
New Street is not so bad i quite like it actually, its much better than Crewe... talk about dull!!
keep me informed please Dave, I know how difficult it was for me getting from here to Fairford and Brize Norton on the train, so I can relate.
