RMR Bristol Presentation [Wednesday 7th Nov '07]

[Woody91]

Heyaaaa lads.
I've always been keen on this website for a fair few years now, but have always had issues trying to become a member on here.

Anyway back to the point of my post; I was wondering if there is anyone attending the RMR Bristol Presentation on Wednesday 7th November '07?

The whole south west area is completely new to me as I've just moved to Gloucester attending Hartpury College, studying rugby

So yeah, it'd be great for someone to reply back to this post giving me tips on life in the RMR and travelling tips.

Anyone know when the selection weekend is for RMR Bristol? I know Henley is in Jan but I dont think I'm gonna be up to standard by then. Just trying to find out when the next ones are after that cause I don't want to wait till Sept for the next one and would look to transfer if there is one before then.

Hello Woody,
I am also going to the 7th Nov evening, so I can't help with life in the RMR however I have lived in Bristol most of my life so I may be able to answer any questions about the South West.

Thanks Clake,
Well basically I'm just worried about issues about actually getting to the Bristol attachment.

Because I'll be travelling from Gloucester and won't have a clue where to go from the Bristol train station??? Or how long it will take.

Any tips fella?

Well I've had a look and to get from Temple Meads train station to RMR Bristol, your best bet is the 8 or 9 bus....

... they go straight fromTemple Meads to Bristol zoo, from the zoo its about a 5 -10 minute walk.
