Although this posts a little on the late side it's still before the actual event, so better late than never!
There's a new roar (rider owned and run) shop opening up in Halesowen - just outside Birmingham. The opening party's today (Sat 4th Nov), which are you are all cordially invited to.
The shops opening from 12 - 6. A steady supply of food and drink, good prices, shitloads to buy! and a session at Epic afterwards which could be at the park or the bar itself.

Directions:
Unit 1 Claridge House,
Long lane,
Halesowen.
From the top of Mucklow Hill , turn left at Street bike and follow Longlane to the island, which is about 2 mins away from Streetbike. The shop is on the left next to a big car wash place. Keep yours eyes peeled for clean cars with loads of Fiberglas riveted on and a large sign that reads "TreeBMX & Skate".
