Who would be willing to come to Newcastle for a tournament?
I'm currently scouting out a venue in my local area that would be perfect for a tournament. It's a church that is opening up its doors for community events, for a small fee (nothing a venue fee wouldn't cover). There's heaps of space, plenty of tables, chairs and it's a great location, around 10 mins walk from the local shopping centre.
So basically what I want to know is, would there be enough interest from Sydney siders for me to go ahead to organise this? It takes me around 2 hours to drive to BOOST, so I imagine the drive would be similar in this case. Probably a little longer by train, and the venue is about a 20 min walk from the closest train station. I would probably be able to arrange lifts for anyone coming by train.
Likely events would be Brawl Singles and Doubles, and Melee Singles. At the very least we'd do Brawl & Melee Singles. That of course depends on people bringing setups as well. I definitely want both games represented, especially considering that Newcastle/Hunter has always been a more melee-focused area.
The tournament would almost certainly be held on a Saturday, obviously because it’s a church, and they use it on Sundays
If all goes well, I’d hope to host sometime soon, after Robocop.
I know that Andrew previously held some successful hunter tourneys, so I hope that I can emulate that. After the loss of Tim, Andrew and S.D, the hunter scene has been floundering. This is my attempt to keep the scene here alive, and hopefully grow it.
