CO Bristol???? who is interested

Post by Mark Murray »

the Bristol Co Event is where it all started years ago and it would be great to reintroduce one next year

Looking at the CO calendar to ensure it doesn't clash with another date, a nice date would be Saturday 28th February 2015 (everyone will have been paid). At this stage, I would like an idea as to who would be interested in such an event.. if you are interested in this , please reply on here/let me know and dependant on numbers ,we will see if this idea is a goer or not..

:)

Yeah, I thought that's what you meant, which I didn't think was the case. I thought COLIN was the first (in England, was there one(s) in Edinburgh before that?)

(And sorry, no, not interested - one Co-event per year is enough for me, and I've already got the Travelodge booked for January...)

This is the nearest place I've seen to where I live so I'd love to come along if I'm allowed! Add a '-west' to what Giles wrote!

Bristol is my neck of the woods, but apart from the numbers rounds I am a hopeless Countdowner. Are spectators allowed?

COLIN was the first "CO" event. That's why they're called CO events - because it made a good name in COLIN. Edinburgh have had their club for years though but I wouldn't think they'd call them CO events.

But as for whether I'd go - maybe, dunno. It's quite far for me.
