CoLei

Post by Jeff Clayton »

Hi chaps

Well, CoLei is a subject I'm coming back to far later than I would've liked, and it has been mentioned and queried by people in various posts in different places. However, we've not had a proper thread to discuss it and I would like to see definite expressions of interest (or otherwise) before I press ahead.

So...

If you would be interested in attending a tournament, if you can get to Leicester, and if you fancy bashing some words and numbers for a day, please tell me here.

I appreciate that the exam season is creeping up on the academic contingent once again, but we have a timescale of between now and the beginning of September to play with. If you have a preference(s) for dates, do make them known.

And if you've any other quirky suggestions or ideas, throw them in for good measure.


Over to you!
Jeff

Any time other than August is best for me (serious Scrabbling season, August is). Leicester's no problem for me travel-wise.

I am not good at Geography, but would I be right in saying that Leicester is roughly bewteen Bristol and Lincoln (if travelling from one to the other)?

As long as the date works out for me, I should be there.

I'd definitely be interested in attending, especially as I haven't managed to get to a tournament for over a year now.

July or later would be the best time for me.

Likewise, and August onwards is dandy for me. Hopefully I'll be applying to the show around the same time.

Miracles do happen, yes!

If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Leicester is no problem at all for travelling. Likely problem for me is a suitable date, as I'm away more than I'm at home during summer months. I'll wait to see when CoLei is to be held, and come if I can. :)

Like many have already said the big August break would be good (presuming I don't have to do any resits!).

Hi Jeff,

Count me in as long as I'm available. Spring or autumn are preferable -I experience a compulsion to be outside during the summer!

I think I'd rather go to Colin as the date there works out well for me. I will follow this thread though.

Ok chaps, thanks for your various messages.

The jury will now retire to consider a date as it looks for a suitable venue. I will report back as soon as I have something credible to propose to you all, and hope that this won't be too long.

Cheers
Jeff
