 JN. The building is fully wheelchair accessible and we are being given use
  of several spaces inside to accommodate fixed seating and the stream. The
 re is wi-fi available\, but for the time being we are planning to stick to
  our policy of restricting access to that in order to prioritise the strea
 m.\nHowever\, Ashton Court is a little way out of Bristol City Centre - ap
 proximately 15-20 minutes’ drive or 45 minutes by bus from Bristol Templ
 e Meads train station. In addition\, the building itself is 10-12 minutes
 ’ walk up a long driveway from the nearby bus stops.\nTravel\nWe are exp
 loring several options for helping attendees traverse the extra distance t
 o the new venue. Firstly\, we ask that any attendees who have a car and ar
 e able to make trips from Bristol city centre to Ashton Court at the start
  or end of any of the days please make themselves known to us so that we c
 an arrange carpooling for those without vehicles. There is free parking av
 ailable at the venue. We will be coordinating this in the below thread\, s
 o please post there if you are able to help.\nWe are aware that this extra
  travel may create an obstacle for some attendees who have physical access
  needs or who had not budgeted for it in their planning. If you have parti
 cular needs in terms of transport or access\, or your financial situation 
 is such that the cost of this extra transport would be a barrier to your p
 articipation in the event\, please contact us using the details below. We 
 will coordinate transport (likely via taxi) for those who need it for thes
 e reasons\, using the event budget.\nIn addition\, in order to assist peop
 le in making the journey from the edge of the Ashton Court estate to the v
 enue building\, we will be running a volunteer shuttle service. If you hav
 e a vehicle\, will be driving to the venue\, and are willing to help shutt
 le people at the start or end of any of the days\, please get in touch.\nF
 ood\nAshton Court does not have the facilities to cater for the number of 
 attendees we are expecting\, and given the size of the estate it is not cl
 ose enough to other places where attendees could buy food in a timely fash
 ion. As such\, we recommend that all attendees make plans to bring food fo
 r themselves for each day that they attend\, especially on Saturday which 
 will be a long day.\nIn addition\, we will be sourcing a large quantity of
  vegan\, nut-free snacks which we will make available at cost price in the
  venue\, for payment by cash or card. Please do not assume that this tuck 
 shop will be able to adequately feed you for the whole event.\nPrizing\nTh
 e has been supplied with an official NSG 2024 National Championship Kit th
 at will support up to 150 competetors\, the exact number of each prize ava
 ilable is yet to be confirmed.\nUnique to this event is the incredible Ash
 en Epilogue by Brindelmold which will be given as an additional participat
 ion prize and on a totally one of a kind playmat for the winner of the mai
 n event.\nSide Events\nIn addition to the UK National championships we wil
 l be running several side events:\n\nCrown of Servers Team Event: Friday f
