Here is the email I just received incase anyone didn't get it.

Roboteers,
Our next event is nearly here. The show will be held in the concert hall of the Reading Rivermead Leisure Complex.
After the success of Skeletron at Huddersfield, he will be making another appearance this weekend along with a number of Antweights as part of their Reading Robot Club.
Show format is the same as past events, with the competition being held over the three shows.
Show times are:
Saturday ? 6PM
Sunday 12PM & 3PM
We are asking roboteers to arrive around 3:30PM on the Saturday and no later than 11AM on the Sunday.
The venue address is:
Rivermead Leisure Complex
Richfield Avenue
Reading
RG1 8EQ
Once at the centre, please drive around to the back of the hall (follow the service road).
If you have any problems / questions or can no longer attend the event, please email me back.
If you need to contact us for directions over the weekend of the event, you can call us on 07949445113.

See you all there!
Robots Live Crew!

still a bit early, will we be starting before 3:30pm

It'll be a bit difficult to start before 3:30 because there will be nobody there.

So just to recap, this will be an experience for those people who haven't been to a heavyweight event before. You'll be in the pits with the heavyweights and featherweights. You'll have the best view in the house, for free.

My advice is just enjoy it and if you want pure antweight fun then wait until the next AWS or RRC.

Not entirely true Simon: I'll be there at 7AM to help put the arena together

Thats also the reason for a late start, because it takes a long time to put the RL arena up

OK, fair enough Dave, can you answer Jack's question please?

Jack: You can come along any time before 3:30, and have some practice fights with me, up to you. As for maps, dunno where to get some. I'd use AA route planner

The end of the show is at 8PM, and the roboteers all go to their hotels or to a bar to have a social drink
