 ### Buses 
-Coventry Railway Station has very frequent buses to campus through the express 12X bus or the slower 11 bus (both operated by National Express). These can be caught from the [Rail Station Bridge stop](https://goo.gl/maps/YAqPpQXVXqzpKPz76), just outside the station (try to leave through the new bit). The 11 can also be caught from the [Station Interchange](https://goo.gl/maps/Lu3GGVELEek24b7f8), through the underpass tunnel.

-Warwick University is on the south-western edge of Coventry (Post Code: CV4 7AL). There is a lot of parking available on campus, although not all of it is visitor accessible.

 ### Getting Around Campus
 
-The campus is quite compact and well signposted, so walking through shouldn’t be too hard. The SU Atrium (where we’ll be) is a particularly quick walk from the Bus Interchange and contains multiple places to eat, with a fair few in the surrounding buildings as well. When navigating around campus, we recommend the [Interactive Campus Map](https://campus.warwick.ac.uk/?cmsid=2080).

+Started in 2016, Warwick's Awesome Speedruns and Demos (WASD) is a 2-day speedrunning event held annually at the University of Warwick. It is the largest student-run speedrunning event in the UK. We've showcased a wide variety of games from nailbitingly difficult ones such as Getting Over It and Dark Souls III to living room favourites such as Mario Kart Wii and Splatoon 3. As well as these, we've run some less standard titles such as Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue, Geoguessr and Deathsmiles IIX Makai no Merry Christmas. We also dabble in the insane! These runs include Celeste on DK Bongos, Super *Monkey's* Ball and one person using 2 controllers to play Cuphead. WASD will be returning on {{ event_date_range }}.
 
 The event raises money for SpecialEffect, a charity which develops and provides assistive technology to help people with disabilities to play games.
