Next thing to decide is when to hold it; I suggest we officially start right after the June 26th event and finish July 24th with the competition day. That fits between events and gives 4 weeks for building.

When you register for the mini challenge, please list the top 2 or 3 skills you can apply to making a trebuchet - something like "Nick - Machining, Carpentry"

I just picked the first convenient date, its definitely not fixed. If we can aim for a date that suits more builders, that the one to go for.

How about something a bit closer to a regular competition date?

I liked the concept of doing it toward the end of the year. Maybe post battleshed. Though I don't anticipate it being a particularly well attended event.

Jake was proposing a mini-challenge, a dry run if you like. Its cheap, not too hard and will give us an idea how to make a bigger event work smoothly later in the year.

What about entering the Redbull Flugtag?

I'm going to send an entry anyway and see if I get selected

I entered last year but didnt get in, I got a box of 4 redbulls though .
