Roaming Robots - GRA Germany 12th 13th June

[robotwars]

Guys,

Bit of an update for you now that time is ticking, I am really quiet excited, this is definitely going to be one to remember.

Venue

You should all be aware of the venue.

Liverpool Olympia - http://www.liverpoololympia.comwww.liverpoololympia.com


Tickets are doing well, not sure of the numbers at the moment, but Im sure the promoter has done his job well.

Arrival time is relaxed due to the new format, and so you have during Saturday day to go to the campsite and pitch your tents. And then come to the venue for around 4pm onwards.

Camping

I have taken over a whole field at the campsite, the details are as follows:-

Leisure Lakes
Mere Brow
Tarleton
Lancashire
PR4 6JX

The original one provisionally booked must have heard the rumours about you as they declined, but this one is a lot more accommodating.
It is 20 Miles away from the venue up the coast next to the sea, and is the closest which could fit everybody in.

From what I know, it sounds very nice, lots of facilities, not quite camping in just a field But I think you will have to be on your best behaviour, no drunken riots please.!!! It is a campsite. Or ill tell them to go to the News of the World with their Stories.

I believe that you will be able to ring the campsite direct to book yourselves in, there will be plenty of space, and just say you are with Roaming Robots, and give your Robot Name.
Or tell me and i can pass it on.

I will confirm in the morning, exactly how the booking will work and let you know for definite.
Camping is available friday aswell.
The dutch will be there from friday, all others arriving saturday during the day.
Breakfast.... bring the women to cook it for you !

Reminder of the format

Show times

Saturday 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Sunday 12:00pm - 2:00pm and 4:00pm - 6:00pm

3 shows, very relaxed timing !!!!

The meal is organised for straight after the evening show Saturday night within the venue, not sure what it is, but hey .. it will be some kind of food I will let you know.

We will be completely hyping up the fact that we have the Brits vs the Europeans, hopefully get flags for the robots, the relevant songs playing, ( any requests to fit in with the theme ??? ) split the crowd into each half etc etc..
4 robots in the arena at once. Two Brits vs Two Europeans, with some form of competition leading to an overall event winner.


Thats it for now.

More info to come including maps and directions to each.

Unfortunatly for various reasons we wont be able to come to this would have loved to but cant.

Only writing this to say that Leisure Lakes is a good site.

Been there a couple of times many years ago..(so hope its still good) as a competitor for a big model aircraft do and the staff etc were very friendly (as us northerners are)

So am sure all you campers will be ok ...good luck..have a great weekend ...see you at the world champs

Hmm... national flags... although I have no robot of my own yet I just went upstairs to find my Flemish Lion flag... seems one or more of my cats have been p**ing on it... drat ! That will need at least 3 sessions in the washing machine !
One day Im going to catch one of them bl**dy mousers in the act and boy will he regret it !

As for German songs... Rammstein anyone ? Oompf! maybe ? But the first person who comes up with Schlagers is going to need his/her eardrums fixed when Im through with him/her.
Dutch songs... message to the Pullieboys: bring that funny CD ! You know the one I want...

Hi Guys,

As far as the campsite goes, just go along when ever you like, Friday / Saturday.
The field I have booked is called the Rally field, and tell them you are roboteers, for Roaming Robots, and book in under your Robot Name.

oh,,, also.... anyone bringing antweights as we have a trophie for each of the 3 weight classes.

Looking good now.

Jonno

It currently stands that I have 13 members of Dutch and Belgian teams coming to stay with me between GRA and Newark, good job Ive got two very large lawns! If any other visiting teams need camping space please ask Andy cane for my mobile number while you are in Liverpool and contact me first as I do not want to turn people away after arriving at my house. Babeth has my address and postcode.

Jonno

p.s once again thanks for your kind offer Authur.

[robotwars]

Oh My God... !!

Sounds like its going to be a good show !

[kaideejee]

The campsite - is that the lawns mentioned above or an actual campsite? If its the former then it seems Arthur only lives about ten miles from me.

And I thought most of you lot were darn sarf! Wonder who else lives in sunny Lancashire and environs.
