Count me in
I would be up for this, work allowing. I don't run anything seriously at the moment, but I'm sure I could do by 2015 (if not, spectating would be great as well)

Thank you everyone! I'm equally as excited although just as nervous. I really think this is a good idea as we need such an event in the UK to promote speedrunning and expand the communities involved. For those who know runners or are part of communities feel free to spread the word! I'm interested in the games you all run! I'll look into making a form that people can fill out. It won't be a definite sign-your-soul form, it's just so I get an idea of how many people, who and what games to expect.
That's the power of the Keyyyblaaade
I'm based in Aberdeen but I'd gladly make the trip down for this! Not enough events in Europe let alone the UK, so I'm super looking forward to this! The only problem with Easter for me would be getting time off work, since it'd be just after everyone gets their annual holiday allowances, and it'd be pretty safe to assume that everyone will be wanting to book holidays off, but at the same time I can always figure something out. 
Ah yes good idea Mooo! I'll get onto that ASAP. Josh has used Google Docs so if I'm stupid enough to get stuck then he can help 
I'm glad that more and more people are becoming interested! It seems a few people are on the other side of the UK whether Scotland or even Ireland but it shouldn't be too hard to get here. A long journey but not a difficult one. I'm happy to talk to anyone who is worried about travel and I will help out with information and advice if anyone needs it. We've got a few people up in the Midlands who can drive and have offered to provide lifts if needed. When it's closer to the date I'll get any information and see if we can get seats booked up for those who could do with the help.
It's difficult to arrange a time that is perfect with everyone but I will try my best. Right now I'm aiming for the Easter holidays (ideally 4th-12th April) so that people are off for school/college/uni and hopefully work. I won't make any dates permanent until I've discussed this with the venue and its around 2 months before the event but it will definitely be in April sometime.

You can never run enough games
Apologies in advance if I missed something, but is this happening this year (2014) or are you avoiding that and planning for 2015? There seems to be conflicting information in some of the posts in this thread, and as much as I would like to come, it's probably unlikely I would be able to if it's this year.

Ah ok thanks!
I was just a bit confused by this sentence:
Specifically the 2 months before bit, since it is February

What Mooo says
Since we've got 14 months to go it's a bit early to set a final date. Not only do I still need to talk to the venue but things can change. I will probably leave it until next January or February before deciding on a definite date unless the venue require me to book earlier. We'll see. But I do plan for it to be April due to the whole Easter theme. It's just the actual date such as early mid or late April is still to be decided but I plan for middle.

Do you mean Insomnia? I was recently told about it and it sounds awesome. I know that it is running from 18th - 21st April which is cool as that's when my birthday is so might see if I can go to it :'3 As mentioned in a previous post I'm aiming for the dates 4th-12th. I can't say how long the event will be though as it all depends on how many runners we get.
