Hi all,

If you’re going to the RLWC2013 Opener in Cardiff on 26th October, please consider stopping in on Bristol on the way past:

1) It’s half term – a short break in the SW in October could be a great way to make the most of a trip you’re making anyway.

2) We’re hosting the Cook Islands vs USA group game on Wednesday 30th, a few days after the opening game. There’s a real buzz in the city about this, not least because the Cooks are a good bet for the quarters (all SL, NRL or NSW/QLD league full timers)

3) There will be a number of RLWC events in Bristol that week including:

– a showing of This Sporting Life (we’re hoping to tie in with a RL writers event and a leading RL publication), on Sunday 27th
- A Cheerleaders event, also be on Sunday 27th
- An exhibition of SW RL History (there’s more than you think!)
- Cook Island Maori Dance Performances
- We hope to arrange venues to show the other RLWC2013 games live

4) Bristol is a FAB city for family activities, eg @Bristol kids science museum, SS Great Britain, Bristol Aquarium, Bristol Zoo (Johnny Morris, anyone?).

5) It also has a great music scene, really good bars, restaurants, shopping (Harvey Nicks), etc. Think Portishead, Tricky, Goldie, Russell Howard, Justin Lee Collins, Banksy, Raymond Blanc, and, of course, Wallace & Gromit.

6) It’s also 25 minutes from Bath, 40 minutes from Cardiff, Cheltenham & Gloucester, and a stop-off point on the way to Stonehenge or the Dorset, Devon & Cornwall coast.

7) Bristol is a really good place to stay even if you’re only going to the Cardiff game. It’s 30 minutes on the train, easy to get in and out of, and has lots of hotel accommodation.
