Countdown in the North-East (CO:NE) - Saturday 14th May 2022
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 7:40 pm
WEโRE COMING BACK ON THE TOON!!!
After having to cancel CoNuT 2020 at the last minuteโฆ, Iโm delighted to announce the rebirth of CoNuT, which will now be known as CO:NE, or Countdown in the North-East!!!
Venue:
Our venue is the Windsor Hotel in Whitley Bay, not too far away from Newcastle city centre. The address is 43 South Parade, Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear, NE26 2RF. (For a look yourselves, go here) Easy access from Newcastle station is available by the Metro services. By taking the Yellow line from Newcastle Central Metro station, Whitley Bay is 14 stops down the line, and then itโs a tiny walk to the hotel.
General Overview:
Presented by James Robinson and Mark Mills, using the "Bristol" classroom format and playing along with big screen virtual studio graphics:
The format will be slightly different to a Robbo eventโฆ
The first match will be a random draw, then weโll have 4 games using the Swiss format. Then, the table will create groups where a QF, SF and F take place. One thing that will stay the same, when the two finalists in Group A will sit out the mainstream final, to play the tournamentโs showpiece Grand Final at around 5pm. So if you donโt make the top two, why not recharge your glass, sit back and enjoy!
Prices/Rates:
CO:NE will take place on Saturday 14 May -- doors open at 9:30am for a prompt 10:30am start, finishing at around 5:45-6pm. The admission price is set at ยฃ15 and includes unlimited tea/coffee. Lunch isnโt provided, but the hotel is right in the middle of Whitley Bay, and there are loads of amenities nearby.
We also intend on having some other activities on Saturday night and Sunday morning, which will be arranged by my local contact, Tasneem Rana.
