AmigaSoc is organising a trip to Cologne for Computer 98. We'd
therefore like to extend an invitation to all Amigans in the UK to
come along. We're aiming to try and offer a cut-price trip (including
accomodation, where possible, but on a first come, first served basis).
Presently we're only able to deal with user groups (and also
developers/retailers) primarily for convenience... but also to
encourage people to join their local user group.
Our choice for accomodation is the Hotel Berg (www.hotel-berg.com), who
are offering quite an aggressive discount for groups. If you wish to
stay somewhere else, you'll have to organise that yourself (but by all
means, we're happy to include you in the flights). For other hotels in
Cologne, have a look at www.cologne-hotels.com. Our chosen airline is
British Midland who are also offering some good deals for groups,
although Eurostar is also a possibility.
In total, people can expect to pay less than 200 pounds for the flight
and the accomodation. The accomodation only includes bed and (a fairly
minimal) breakfast.
We will require people to pay up front in order to book the flight and
the accomodation. Naturally, AmigaSoc will not make any money from this.
We are purely interested in encouraging as many people from the UK to
come to Cologne this year as possible.
AmigaSoc visited Cologne for the first time last year, and we firmly
believe that if this show is anything like that, you'll be kicking
yourself if you miss it. Imagine a show like the generic computer shows
that used to be held in Earl's Court in the 80s. Imagine a show where
70% of those stands have Amiga stuff in there. Plus, we at AmigaSoc
certainly don't want to miss any big announcements.
We require all payments and bookings to reach us no later than 20th
September 1998.
