ITS HAPPENING 20TH NOVEMBER BAR KOLLO. NE1 4PG. 22-24 LEAZES PARK ROAD.
Hey guys, so i'm sure, like many others I've been dying to attend a BarCraft, seeing how much of a hit it has been in so many places across the world I was wondering if anyone knew of one around Newcastle, or is planning on organizing one for a future event? I've searched about a bit but so far there seems to be nothing. I'm pretty sure an event in the North East would pull a decent attendance ^^
So post here if you know of any planned events, or if you would be interested in attending an event!
ALSO - If newcastle isn't great for you please do post where abouts you're coming from or where would be good, we're trying to find a location which is viable and suitable for the most people however you can never please everyone ^__^

Well, I would be interested in attending it. Always interested in events in Newcastle!
|
Awesome, i'm not a reddit user but I know there's a massive community there, i'll look into getting someone to post something up there for me. Also i'll dig up the 'How to organise a BarCraft' post/thread. :D
|
There's at least 2 others I know along with myself at Durham uni who I'm 99% sure would come to whatever was organised and we could probably convince a few others to tag along :p
|
Awesome, yeah I know I should take into account when people post that they may have multiple friends etc that would come along, which would help to get a more accurate account of the numbers interested, gunna leave this post up for a few days and hope to get a large interest :D i'm probably not the best person to organise it since I live a few miles away from Town (and i'm shy lol), hopefully someone is up for it, if not i'll see what I can do
|
Gunna start making a list to keep track of interest from multiple sources
|
i thought there'd be a newcastle barcraft before now tbh,crack in newcastle is awesome :D
ive got not IRL friends that'd wanna come to this, they all stopped playing cos i was bashing them too much lol, so it'd be a bit odd tbh
|
Haha yeah same man, Newcastle is the capital of the north-east. I'm talking to a friend on skype about possible places to host, obviously we need somewhere with multiple TV's, i'm only 18 so don't really know much about where would be good and what sports bars are good. We need somewhere which has the capability to set it up internet wise etc, my knowledge of that is sub par too

Hey, I run the computer games part of durham university and am currently trying to get more starcrafty things to happen. If one is organised im sure I could help advertise it within the society and bring a few people along.
We also are currently planning to get a barcraft in Durham organised for the final day of MLG providence if we can find a bar/pub willing to put starcraft on for a night. Other societie have used pubs for events before and it has been successful so hopefully we can find one that will accomodate us.
I'll keep an eye on this thread to keep everyone updated on anything I'm planning and if anything else is organised as I will do my best to help advertise =)

Yeah Durham would be cool for me too, only reason I said Newcastle is because it's the main city ;P but if enough would attend Durham that's fine I actually live in County Durham so it's just as easy. Are you included in the Henx +2 or are you a separate party?
|
Yeah I'm included in the +2
The reason we'd say durham for now is because obviously the society is based there but we hope to be able to run larger ones as the year goes on and if we have to go to Newcastle (and can) for larger gatherings then we will. =)

Do something in Chester Le Street, Birtley or Washington then since it's halfway between Durham and Newcastle and has great transport connections between both (parking can be a hassle in CLS but not in Birtley, both are better than Durham or NCL) Don't know if there are any pubs in the area there that have good television setup. I'd love to come to any barcraft in the area.

Thanks for the suggestions, I just thought Newcastle would be good is because it's the main city, so would be equal travel distance for most, plenty of public transport to and from, and it has the largest range of bars.
Can I add you to the list anyway?

Not sure if im included in Henx's +2 but if theres barcraft going down in durham / somewhere nearby im definately game to go, might even go for newcastle if i have free time.
|
I'd be interested in a Barcraft pref Newcastle but I could handle Durham at a push too
|
Awesome, yeah I know, we're never gunna get a location that's perfect for everyone we're just seeing where is good and where isn't in general for everyone interested
|
Newcastle aye? I'm up for that.
|
If totalbiscuit is going to be at the event i'll go to newcastle or w/e definately, i'll even buy him pint would love to share drinks with that guy.
|
Not sure if the OP was updated or I didn't read, but Newcastle would be the best place for me, and I would probably be able to bring a couple of people along.
