Czech Open 2009

What is the name of the railway station? I want to find a train but if I find for Pradubice, it gives me "Praha Holesovice" as arriving station. Is that the right? It's very imoprtant cause I want to count the travel payments.


It´s not "Pradubice" but Pardubice. You can find your train here: http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlakyautobusy/spojeni/ - button for English version is in the middle of site on the right hand side.
And name of railway station is: Pardubice hlavni nadrazi (Pardubice main station)

If you travel by car in Czech you need a vignette (highway permit) which you can but at the border or at a gas station, a permit for 7 days is CZK 220 (circa €7,50)

Speed limits are 31mph (50kph) in built-up areas, 55mph (90kph) outside built-up areas and 80mph (130kph) on motorways. Motorways run from Prague to Plzen, Podebrady to Bratislava (Slovak Republic) via Brno. Users of the Czech motorways have to buy a vignette
vignet for 7 days CZK 220 (circa €7,50)
vignet for 1 month : CZK 330 (circa €11)
vignet for 1 (2009) this year: CZK 1000 (circa €35)

I mailed Ron to put me in the Clock event, but I was too late. Is there anyone who is registered for Clock, who doesn't want to compete in it? Because Ron has put me in the Clock event at WC2009, but I can't qualify, if I can't compete in Clock at Czech Open. Is there anyone who would like to switch with me?
 
Where are all the other Germans who were already registered? Am I really the only German Speedcuber who goes to Czech Open? Czech Republic is a neighbouring country to Germany and for me (and I think for some others as well) it's the nearest competition to my home (I have to drive about 350km to Pardubice but 520km to Gütersloh).
 
By any chance is anyone travelling from (or passing through) Prague who would be able to pick me up? It would save me a lot of trouble:) Thanks
Travelling arrangements are a bit sketchy by now. We will arrive early during the night on Friday and it looks as if we have 1 more free spot in the car. MSN with Erik (often online) or me (only sometimes online) is your best option

I know Lars is taking the train so contacting him could be useful as well

I will drive to Pardubice on Thursday afternoon and I guess I will passing through Prague at about 17:00. It would be no problem picking you up.

well my plane arrives early on thursday morning so this would suit me a bit better. Thanks guys:)

(if it makes things easier, feel free to add me on MSN)
 
Which of you will arrive on Thursday (or earlier)? We could have some kind of meeting. (We arrive around 3PMish.)

I thought about the same. I talked about this with István (Kocza) and he told me we're able to go to the CEZ arena on thursday afternoon-evening. If anyone wants to have a meeting, we'll be there! :)

Erik and I have 2 places left in the car. If you can be at Schiphol at 18:00 or Enschede at 20:00 you can have a free trip.

You have to travel light because we don't have much room for bagage (we are taking a lot of Ton's stuff)

PM me or Erik if you want to join

Lol, but I have a good reason, as I bring mine and Ron's competition equipment+ Rubik's gift bag and 57 new Rubik's medals
