Des is there any way we can get these side events brought forward to say 1pm?

A 3pm start is 3-4 hours after most people have to check out of their hotel and are then faced with waiting around for 4 hours or so. I for one take the view that if I can be home before the side event starts, I'll go home, regardless of how much I enjoy the game, as the wait is just too long, especially when faced with a long drive at say 9-10pm. Just my 2 penneth, but I know others feel the same.

should start at least an hour after day 2 ME to allow day 2 early bustees to get in too

This.

Plus I plan on staying Sunday night.

Come on, pay for the extra night in hotel from the winnings of your side event.

1.30pm start with 1 hour late reg?

EDIT: This suggestion is slighty scuppered by the 2.30pm Day 2 start in Cardiff (see separate thread)
