OUR EVENT HAS MOVED!!
\nWe have been informed that unfortunately SPARKS\, our venu e for UK Nationals 2024\, has cancelled on us after flooding due to a burs t pipe. However\, we are NOT cancelling the event. The same organisation t hat runs SPARKS has offered us use of another venue\, and we believe that we will be able to run UK Nats as advertised at that venue\, with your hel p and goodwill.
\nThis information is being posted both on discord/ slack and sent to all ticketholders via email - please help us out by maki ng sure that everyone who you know is attending sees this\, and if you bou ght a ticket for someone else please ensure they receive this information ASAP.
\nThe new venue for UK Nats is Ashton Court Mansion\, Long Ashton\, BS41 9JN.
\nThis event is the Startup Nationa l Championship\, a perfect way to finish off your UK Nats weekend.
\nIf you have bought a ticket for the main event that alr eady covers your entry to this event at no additional cost.

\n\nThis event will consist of 6\, 40 minute rounds of Single Sided Swiss in which you will play 1 game of Netr unner and the side will be determined for you before the round starts.

\nThe new venue for UK Nats is Ashton Court Man sion\, Long Ashton\, BS41 9JN. The building is fully wheelchair a ccessible and we are being given use of several spaces inside to accommoda te fixed seating and the stream. There is wi-fi available\, but for the ti me being we are planning to stick to our policy of restricting access to t hat in order to prioritise the stream.
\nHowever\, Ashton Court is a little way out of Bristol City Centre - approximately 15-20 minutes’ dr ive or 45 minutes by bus from Bristol Temple Meads train station. In addit ion\, the building itself is 10-12 minutes’ walk up a long driveway from the nearby bus stops.
\nWe are exploring several o ptions for helping attendees traverse the extra distance to the new venue. Firstly\, we ask that any attendees who have a car and are able to make t rips from Bristol city centre to Ashton Court at the start or end of any o f the days please make themselves known to us so that we can arrange carpo oling for those without vehicles. There is free parking available at the v enue. We will be coordinating this in the below thread\, so please post th ere if you are able to help.
\nWe are aware that this extra travel m ay create an obstacle for some attendees who have physical access needs or who had not budgeted for it in their planning. If you have particular nee ds in terms of transport or access\, or your financial situation is such t hat the cost of this extra transport would be a barrier to your participat ion in the event\, please contact us using the details below. We will coor dinate transport (likely via taxi) for those who need it for these reasons \, using the event budget.
\nIn addition\, in order to assist people in making the journey from the edge of the Ashton Court estate to the ven ue building\, we will be running a volunteer shuttle service. If you have a vehicle\, will be driving to the venue\, and are willing to help shuttle people at the start or end of any of the days\, please get in touch.
\ nAshton Court does not have the facilities to cater for the number of attendees we are expecting\, and given the size of the estat e it is not close enough to other places where attendees could buy food in a timely fashion. As such\, we recommend that all attendees make plans to bring food for themselves for each day that they attend\, especially on S aturday which will be a long day.
\nIn addition\, we will be sourcin g a large quantity of vegan\, nut-free snacks which we will make available at cost price in the venue\, for payment by cash or card. Please do not a ssume that this
\nTBC
\nWe are looking for lots of volunteers to help with reporting results a nd pairings\, judging games\, running and commentating the stream\, settin g up\, running side events and much much more.
\nAll attendees who v olunteer during the main event on Saturday will get free entry into all si de events and will not need to buy a ticket. If you plan to play on Saturd ay but volunteer on other days\, we are very grateful for your help but yo u will still need to buy a ticket!
