Roaming Robots, Winter Tour

[robotwars]

HI Guys,

Preston was a large experiment between, Roaming Robots, an entertainment company, and a promoter, and clearly worked.

There for we feel we can now offer a €œWinter Tour€

Exactly the same as Preston with a few tweaks.
6 large venues
All weights
Heavyweight, Featherweight and Antweight arena€™s.
Possibly through - September, October, November, and December
All 2 day events ( 4/5 shows per event )
Appearance, travel, and accomodation fees paid.
Plus, strong possibility of a big meal / party, Saturday nights Social side will be very important. We want it to be fun, and a great experience for all !!!

Major arena improvements, and a friendly competition running throughout the 6 venues, leading to a large scale final.

We have talked about venue selections, and while it is all flexible at the moment, we feel Glasgow would be a very positive move for the sport, for one city at least.

I am after potential roboteers which would be interested in participating in this exciting competition and any suggestions welcome.
We need to move quite fast as venues and dates need to be secured ASAP.

Thanks
Jonno

Would this be like a venue per weekend (e.g- we go back to our various homes during some weeks...)??? I like the sound of this, but travel to all these different places, even with fees covered, would be quite hard...

Oh, and how much is appearence fees... I like the sound of that

Very keen to do this, but knowing venues, dates etc well in advance would make ensuring time off work a bit easier etc.

Are you looking for an on-going competition which would require same people at all venues or realy just a group of events under one name, or perhaps a league ?

Like the sound of Glasgow. (even willing to offer my living room if no other venue is free - though its a new carpet so Mute cant come!)

A flat appearance fee would be a big incentive.

More great trophies like preston would be nice.

Roger.

I would very much like to take part, I can probably bring one of the heavyweights along, certainly a featherweight if all else fails.

Hi Jonno,
if this goes ahead, a suggestion would be a winter tour championship just to get people signing up for the duration.

I would very much like to sign up a heavyweight and 2 featherweights, with 3-4 more featherweights 95% sure to come along with me as at Preston.

Just 2 questions.....

is Mike Lambert organizing the accomodation (if so, keep that party away from out room)

is the appearance fee the same for feathers and heavies? this would be a positive step forward if it was.

Jonno, my initial reaction is that Im all for it, though thats subject to discussion with the rest of the team. Im sure Ill be able to persuade them though.

Geoff, on Sunday you said Preston was the furthest north you were going to go. Have you checked your map lately cause I think youll find Glasgow is quite a bit further up .

Im definatly interested but it just depends on where the events are and if I can get to them. So really depends on dates and places, cant say until specific details are given.
