UK Open 2011

It's official - I'm going to participate in 2011 UK Open in Coventry at the beginning of next year. Rafal is going to be there too.
I also plan to participate in the warm-up tournament before that.
This means 66 games of Scrabble in 7 days.
It all starts on January 3rd and ends on January 9th.
Whole lotta money to spend though :(
The entry fees for both tournaments will be almost 500 Ł in total. Add prices for the flight and you end up with an amount equal to a return ticket to Singapore.
Maybe Causeway 2010 would still be a better option...?
