^ Looool. Don't worry ryan, we can all eat out together, in the sun. Whilst I worry about the exams which decide my life the following monday :p.
 
Kashmaster: I will get mummy or daddy to ask John if hes doing a Mini bus or something this year as Nats is outside of our area for the first time in a while. Last time it was in Woburn & Birmingham we had one.
 
If you play in London, Im sure there will be some thing organised. There always is, just the fact we havent really havent had to travel very far in recent years means we are as prepared as before. From what ive seen anyway the location is accessible to St Pancras. However, the problem might be on the return as trains into London might finish early to the estimated 11pm finish. But its good that all the details to the venue have been put up so early giving us ample opportunity to book accomadation or arrange alternative methods of transport. So props to Nopoke.
 
thank god its not an 8 hour trek for us scots like the previous nats have been XD Cant wait luckily it is 1 week after the end my exams :D
 
^You say that, yet your up all night talking about how Pikachu is next BDIF...

On topic, yeh I totally agree Tyran-Itar. I assume the main reason for moving it to the center of the country was so that players that live in the north of the country could actually get to Nationals within a reasonable time (And I thought I had it bad having to go from West Midlands to London area every year LOL).

I like the actual location alot. Its alot more central and easier to get to for places like Scotland but is still -3 hours to the South East which has the big playerbase.
 
I suspect that though it may have been true in the past that the South East has the most players it is not the case any more. This is based on a completely unscientific analysis of attendance and registered players.

The center of gravity for players has been moving north. Player distribution is much more spread out than it once was when the South East Challenges were all that was left of OP.
