Re: Robots Live! - 29th & 30th September 2012 - LC2, Swansea
Well I guess you're all waiting for some sort of announcement regarding this event....
UK Team Championships 2012
This years Team Champs will be held at the Swansea event. Can Team Barbie hold on for a second year, will the Mighty Reds behave and can the Tilly Allstars bounce back?
After last year we're looking at changing the games up abit, some of them didn't work aswel from an audience point of view, therefore we're looking at moving to more fight based challenges, maybe;
Tag Team
Driver Swap
Women Drivers
Kid Drivers
Blindfolded drivers
Axe/Flipper only fights
of course if you have any ideas on new games or how to improve existing ones let me know.
We obviously need to keep the teams fairly even in terms of numbers, so there may have to be some swapping about, priority will be given to those who were in the teams before.
Also a quick note, this event was originally listed as 4 shows, but will be the usual 3 (Sat 6pm, Sun 12pm & 3pm) unless we've sold out well before, then we may bring back the 4th show.

Hi Alan, have you sorted accomodation yet ? i remember we where talking about it as the
hotels right next to the venue would be full of drunks at night and very noisy so we might
stay further away where its quieter. must book soon just over a month to go, i was
wondering if a premier inn was an option ?

Terry,
I insist that must be wrong. They're unlikely to be staying in the hotels, on the grounds that most of the drunks are born & bred Jacks. Sorry, on behalf of Swansea, for the inconvenience.
On the point of Hotels, if at all possible, avoid Travelodge & Premier inn City Centre. I've still yet to figure out why they built those there. 'Cafe quarter' my bum, it's nightclubsville with day jobs.
Try the Premier inn waterfront. It's by the old King's dock about
1/2 a mile up Fabian way. It's apparently not that busy at night.
Also can recommend Village hotel. Got good rep at a Doctor Who convention.
