UK Championship (reborn)

[Ely]

I am only going to this tournament to win all my games of KickOff 2.. that is the sole purpose.

I will not be....

1) staying out till 4am with my bro in some nightclub
2) drinking booze throughout the event
3) going for a curry with the koa posse
4) singing koa songs all night long
5) throwing abuse during the event at swifty
6) starting the league on time
7) telling anymore porkies.. see 1-6

S'funny, they are the only reasons I'll be coming

This would be an ideal time to make my video. ie, not having to get on a plane.

Incidently, I still have 20 minutes of pre-Gronnigen footage of the Beards training and an interview. One of them is drug induced.

Ahhhh, the video! I need to be there then. Mate, can I give you my Groningen footage too? I have the drawing (lots of fun), the game of shame and the end ceremony... I can make it to MPEG2 with full DVD resolution.

Yeah that would be great. Is it on DV tape at the mo?

[manicx]

DV? That's too much of technology for me. It's in ordinary Video 8 tape.

That's fine. I can still edit it all with my DV stuff, if that's ok.

Any updates Robert ?

I have it on good authority that our man is in Nottingham right now, putting those elite organisational skills to good use.

The venue details will be posted asap.

[Robert]

The venue I had originally planned to use in Nottingham has not checked out. They have a purpose-built meeting venue in a separate building across from the Travel Inn. Although the facilities are excellent they are designed for businesses and seem to think that we should pay them £500 to get a room for the weekend. As this would involve 25 people committed to paying £20 each I think that the KOA (in my experience) are too tight/lame/non-committal for me to book this room and we we have to look somewhere cheaper. Next time I am in Nottm I will look for some other venues but I don't want to stop others from Gloucester/Wolverhampton etc going down to investigate their local Travel Inns.

Good work Robert, well done for going to have a butchers.

Travelodge are currently doing rooms for £10, a great deal but we would have to book by 4th March...that is Thurday. (Very) Short notice I know and I am not sure if we could get a sizeable confirmed list together by then. In any case tomorrow morning I will phone up the Travelodge in Stonehouse near Gloucester to see if they are available. Its worth investigating because £10 is fantastic. I would phone now but I managed to leave my phone on the train the other day

I am more than happy to help organise.

If there are any other Travelodges anyone wants to enquire about now is the time!

OK to be honest I haven't phoned up the Travelodge and in any case I realised it was actually impossible to get numbers together by...today.

I will phone anyway to see if they are availble some time. Watch this space.

[Robert]

I will be in Nottingham this weekend and find an alternative venue. Maybe we will be looking at the City Centre now.
