British and Scottish Nights

For the purists amongst you who like your Night-O championships even if you don't get ranking points for it then Saturday 25th Feb could be a busy day for you, according to BOF website:

British Night Championships

Association:SWOA
Level:Level A

GRAMP Scottish Night Championships

Now how many hardcore Night-Oers will want to do both?

Is this scheduling anything to do with the recent discovery that the speed of light is no longer a limit to how fast something can travel through space-time?

In effect we can complete the Scottish event and then travel back in time in order to compete in the British (I'll still get lost ).

[Ant W]

Please note that this won't work with SI version 8 or 9 cards, as they now use electron neutrinos. Versions 5 and 6 use muon neutrinos so won't get confused by the time travel.

[AndyC]

Time travel isn't needed just the ability to travel 550 miles or so very quickly -Harrier should do it as long as you can get 1st & last starts and not waste too much time on the first run

[Homer]

Didn't the same clash happen just the other year?

[Big Jon]

No Contest - it'll be Scolty or Glen Dye (or even Crathes), so about twenty times more challenging than Hamptworth (sorry SARUM, but...)
Real night-oers will be at Gramp event - especially those training for Tiomila or Jukola.

[Gnitworp]

No Contest - it'll be Scolty or Glen Dye (or even Crathes), so about twenty times more challenging than Hamptworth (sorry SARUM, but...)

Would seriously have considered going if I hadn't lived this near Hamptworth and they hadn't clashed

[JK]

Had it been in late Dec, Early Jan then it'd be getting dark around 14:00 anyway - so plenty of time to do the Scottish and saunter off South for a late start at the British ... but in Feb !? It won't be dark till 17:00.

and about 5mins down the road?

[EddieH]

Absolutely obvious which one I'll go to, but having been to Hamptworth once many moons ago I'd say its an excellent venue for the BNC. I guess if I lived mid way I'd go to BNC.

[Fourth]

Im mid way. The choice is technical or british night champs.. that to me is wrong. The british nights should be the toughest (technical) area possible imo.
