General Info

This VIQRC Event is for UK based teams only.

We will look forward to you attending the 3rd Whickham School, Gateshead, VIQRC Regional in the North East.

We hope to make this bigger and better than previous ones, open to all VEX IQ Teams, both Elementery (Years 4-7) and Middle School (Years 7-10), you will need to check birthday rules too. 

We have decided to run this on a Saturday due to positive comments from team mentors last year and the increased issues of teachers being allowed out of school. Thank you to Whickham School for providing the venue for free.

As it's a Saturday, there are plenty of car parking spaces. Should any teams want to bring their kit the night before, this can be arranged, please just get in touch.

Please bring refreshments and packed lunch for the day. However, we hope to have Whickham World Challenge pupils providing refeshments for a donation, to help with their fund raising. However, there are local shops close by. 

If you have any questions, please contact me directly 07775601711

I'm looking forward to this years Rapid Relay :)
