Shared travelling and other ways to make competitions more accessible

[AvGalen]

I have heard "I want to go to competition xxx, but it's to far/expensive" so many times that I think it is time to have a sharing thread.

I propose this format:

• Competition/Meeting details
• Offering or requesting
• Travelling and/or room
• Date/time of departure
• Date/time of return
• Other details

I hope that enough people will be offering and requesting so more people will be able to go to more competitions and have more fun.

We missed you online last night Lars. Don't they have internet in DC? You should contact Charlie to discuss the options for Danish: Meet at Schiphol (she flies) or meet at Brussels/Lars (she trains)

For Danish, Charlie/Lars/Clement are coming for sure (what about Erik/Dennis? And Raphi is not coming )
For Germany, Joey/Erik/Lars are coming for sure

(and GREAT idea by the way).

I hope other people people (like Ton, but also others from all over the world) will start posting here as well

I was traveling yesterday (Monday) and it was a very long trip due to a 5 hour delay in D.C. for my flight to Huntsville. I only got here around midnight (local time, 6 hours behind you).

Blublublub.

I'll get to you as soon as I get the wrinkles out of my suit.
