Zeeland Open (Netherlands)

[Geert]

From experience I find it easier to meet with the owners of the venue in person and explain what it is that you are organising.
Most people will find it interesting, and because the risk factor of the venue being destroyed is very low, most owners will happily rent the venue to you.
I always suggest to pay the venue upfront and make a deposit for possible damages, this deposit will then be refunded after the competition.

Then again, some venue owners have laughed in my face and send me walking

 

[AvGalen]

Hahaha, you've been saying that you'll hopefully get an answer soon since may at least

Tell him!

I'll probably only be able to go to either DO or zeeland because of work >_< sad!

tututututu
That is the sound of Zoé growing up

 

[Antonie faz fan]

If it Will be organsed whe is it not on wca

 

[cuber8208]

Will find a venue close to where I will live so I can provide accommodation, also, there have been a series of comps announced very close together so i am thinking of moving ZO to november.

If it Will be organsed whe is it not on wca

Because cuber8208 isn't sure about a date & venue yet. Just be patient. It will come up on the WCA-list some time, posting here won't help that happening faster

 

[cuber8208]

Okay, so I have a venue. It will probably be a limit of 40 people because I want to start out small.

I am just waiting to get a delegate. After that it should be made official fairly soon.

Dates are 23 - 24 November

I have plenty of space for everyone to stay, so when registration is open just let me know if you'll want to camp out at my place!

 

[hcfong]

You must have a huge house if you can host 40 people.

 

[cuber8208]

I mean a limit for the competitors. But yes, my house is huge and could hold 40

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Arghhh.. I am going to be in Britain again, already booked them tickets hahaha

 

[AvGalen]

October/November is going to be busy. But of course I will come. Now make it official!

 

[TheRedCuber]

When is it going to be official?

 

[Goosly]

When it appears on this list.

 

[TheRedCuber]

yeah, i know but my question was to someone who organize it!

 

[cuber8208]

Just confirmed the delegate yesterday (Ton) it will be official in the coming days!

 

[cuber8208]

Going through the final stages of admin now, will be up very shortly!

 

[cuber8208]

Official now, website to be up and running soon.

A connection from Gent to Vlissingen by train would be so awesome. Now I have to switch trains 2 times -> 3 hours of travelling. I'll try to come, but I'm not sure yet

 

[cuber8208]

You are welcome to stay at my place on Friday night as well as Saturday!

Or you could take the train to Breda or Roosendaal, where a friendly cuber (for example, me) could pick you up.

 

[Goosly]

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer public transport. Whether I will come or not is dependent on school stuff. It's just weird that, for example, Brugge and Vlissingen are so close to each other, yet by train the route would be Brugge-Antwerpen-Roosendaal-Vlissingen
