Event in Walsall/Aldridge in early October

OK well, stop me if I'm going too far, but AWS30 is on 14th Nov, so Feb-March would be on the cards for AWS31.

13/14 Feb Brighton Model World
27/28 Feb Robots Live - Whitwick, Leicester

So if you can steer a couple of weeks around those two dates, pencil it in with your venue, find a likely candidate to co-host (any volunteers ot there?) and run it past the committee at AWS30 and it'll probably be yours.

Hope that helps

Hmm.. sounds good to me

But who should I ask?

I don't want to volunteer anyone Jack, but who do you know who has hosted an event before and who you could ask. I've made it a rule not to organise an AWS because I do RRC, I hope that point of view is still valid.

Jack O: That's a really good idea!

Jack E: Jack's idea is really, really good!

It's well worth getting involved in someone else's event to learn about how it works before diving headlong into your own event.

I don't want to put anyone off of running an event, but I would feel much more confident about (and therefore much more likely to attend) an event run by someone that has some experience of how events actually happen.
The reason for this is that we got bitten a long time ago by someone who I wouldn't trust to run a bath!

Most of the admin of an AWS (or any other event) typically falls to a small number of individuals - new volunteers are few & far between and always welcome!

I think me, Tim and Josh have been the few people that have deviated from the usual hosts of the AWS's in recent years

I wouldn't mind helping out with an AWS again, I enjoyed the last one

I'll catch you next time you're on MSN then Dave, I had ideas about hosting AWS32 next summer myself and if I could use some help you seem as good as anyone

At the moment we have AWS30 Nov 14th 2009 (Richmond) and AWS33? April 24th 2010 (Eindhoven). While this is one month longer than the usual 4 month break between AWS's it is not really long enough to fit another one in. So if you are talking about an AWS it would be around July to get it in before the summer holidays and regain the slipped month.

The schools round here break up on July 22nd, so Sat 10th July or Sat 17th July might be good for AWS 32.

It would be nice to have a couple of AWS' lined up in advance.

I've spoken to Mike of Robots live, and there's the possibility that we could get Snibston museum as a venue for a possible AWS.

Mike spoke about sometime in September. Would Sat 25th Sept or Sat 9th Oct appeal to anyone?
