    Default Shared travelling and other ways to make competitions more accessible

    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.
    I can't help it, but I am still addicted to the sexy move
    A forum post should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting

    Requesting: a room for Friday-night and saturday-night
    Departure: Friday 2009 04 03 after work

    Other details: Right now, I am alone in a car that can fit at least 3 more people

    For Germany, Joey/Erik are coming for sure

    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

    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).

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