Masks will not be mandatory, nor will demonstration of a negative LFT.

It is the responsibility of the individual to make the smart choice.

Fantastic news.

Just been checking out "Productivity East" on the UEA website - looks like it might just give the Science Oxford Centre (AWS60) a run for its money in the swankiest AWS venue stakes!

I'm not coming to AWS 65 , Oh hope next time

[Tufty]

I miss being able to come by about 2 days, I hope everyone has fun!

Quick question - anyone know if there's a way to edit entrants in Rampage? I need to change a couple of our Ants (based on what's actually going to be ready for AWS65) but can't find anywhere in the GUI that allows me to delete or update...

***SIGN-UPS CLOSE FRIDAY 28th OCTOBER, 11:59pm***

A few more details about the venue.
Please see attached images.

The first being a map of the university. In the top right you will see a red box, this is the car park.


There are two entrances: one from the West and another from the South East (routes for each denoted as red dotted lines).
On Saturday, the parking fee should be £1 as it is a weekend
https://www.uea.ac.uk/about/information ... ar-parking
CASH ONLY!!


Just below the car park there is a bus stop, highlighted blue.
This is the bus stop for the 25/26 bus route that goes direct from Norwich train station tot he university. There is a bus every 10-15 mins. I believe a single is £2.80, and return is £5.40 but this may be slightly inaccurate. They prefer contactless.
This is roughly the same location that a taxi might drop you off.

On from there, there is a green dotted line. This will take you from the carpark & bus stop, down Chancellor's Drive, through a different student-only car park

and arrive at the Productivity East entrance.

When you enter, pits will be directly in front and arena will be the first door on the right.
Any questions before the day, please let me know

Had a great time at the event thanks to Peter for organising it and building a really good arena,

[samSpinCrazy]

Was a really good event, well done just one thing to add maybe next time put the arena and the pits in the same room there look like there could of been enough space but other then that great event see you next time

Great event, props to Peter for hosting, hope for some more at that venue

Well done to James and Sion (with a little help from George ) on winning the event with Team Phytes Little Sytes, our second clusterbot winner (that has a striking resemblance to our previous one…)

Clusters were 3 out of the last 4 this event, maybe an upward trend of the future?
