CO:LON - 9 April 2022
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2021 3:09 pm
After a frustrating two years absence, CO:LON is back in the FOCAL Calendar for 9 April 2022, hosted by George Armstrong and Fiona Titcombe.
With a new venue, it promises to be BIGGER and BETTER than ever!
Where is it?
Common Room (North Building)
King Solomon Academy
Penfold Street
London
NW1 6RX
Map
It's a five minute walk from Edgware Road tube station, or a 15 minute walk from Paddington.
The venue is wheelchair accessible
What will I be doing?
You will play six 9-round games of Countdown in the 'Lincoln' style of tournament. After six games, the top two players will face each other in the grand final.
The first round is drawn randomly, but don't worry if you have a bumpy start - for the second and third rounds you will be playing opponents that have scored similarly to you, so everyone should get some good, well matched games. The aim is to have fun, and there will be plenty of prizes on offer.
What about lunch?
Bring a packed lunch, or there's a Gregg's round the corner, as well as other local shops. Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day at the venue.
And after?
We intend to sort out a group meal for those who are interested on Saturday night. More details soon. Let us know if you're likely to want to join in, so we have an idea of numbers.
Depending on interest, we may try and arrange an Escape Room or similar activity for Sunday morning.
Where can I stay?
There are plenty of hotels across London - Premier Inn and Travelodge are usually relatively affordable, comfortable and clean. Booking early usually secures the best price, so get booked as soon as you can. If you need help, talk to us.
I'm in - what do I do?
The entry fee is still only £10. We would prefer you to pay via paypal https://www.paypal.me/FionaTitcombe/10GBP. If you can't pay via paypal, then please contact George or Fiona to make alternative arrangements.
Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Any questions, please contact George or Fiona, and we'll do our best to help.
We look forward to seeing you there!
