it could be again in april, like it was the last years. been there since 2003 all years. it a blast! 4 Days full of good stuff, the 1st Rofs got a brilliant organisation. 40 guys, still familar, very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. so i hope we will have some dates soon. we are all getting a bit nervous these days about a response...

Even though this thread was about EuroCON, here are some links about them infamous Finnish meets:

AH Spring Meeting (usually in March) Note: The page is still about this years meet, but there is info about the place etc.

Photos from last meet:

Here are some photo reports from various meets/cons:
Mosquito Meeting (June/July) and Urban Blitz (January/February) are the general meets for all sims, AH Spring Meet is purely AH related.

It looks great,

its a 1700km trip on way for me, lets see, maybe i can make it happend
Title: Re: When's the next Eurocon?
Post by: BlauK on October 26, 2009, 05:26:28 AM: Tampere is the closest airport and a car ride from there with some of the Finns should be easily arranged.
Helsinki is also possible airport, but car rides may be more difficult. It all depends on how many drivers are coming from Helsinki. Gwurzel and his wife took a train from Helsinki to Tampere last year (about 2 hours ride).

I believe Snefens (and Teufel?), from Denmark, are also planning on coming next spring :)

Post by: LLv34_Snefens on October 26, 2009, 12:07:04 PM: Yes. I'm coming and most likely also Teufel. Like last I attended, I'll be flying to Helsinki and from there to Tampere. Not so big difference in prices for that extra leg.

Wurzel had his wife last year with him, Laura seemed to enjoy the meeting as well as Gary did. If there would be more of the ladies around, they would get time to spend discussing the wife-acking and all. :D Fortunately for me, my wife won't be attending next (edited: this year to next year) year as we're supposed to have our first child born at the end of December. ;)
