I created a Google calender for these, it's on here: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=842lsjm7e60f6a1ohfu32ntb1c%40g...

And this is the ICS link if you don't use GCal: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/842lsjm7e60f6a1ohfu32ntb1c%40group....

I'd like it if others helped maintain it. Give me a shout and I'll give you the permissions to modify.

Get on! I'm going to apply now for a weekend pass for Cambridge and slip some cash in with the triplicate form to aid process!!! What kind of travel arrangements would people like? Down Friday back Sunday/Monday? No sure if I will have a car for it so may well be a hire van jobby...

No Cambridge for me but chats with the boss have resulted in an OK for London. Boom. can prolly arrange floorspace for a few there too. Hamburg is a go-er too.

Rob can you explai the Euro quali thing, looks like it will be the sunday the 3rd now so thats good, whats the deal with where jono said you have to go to grenoble AND paris? is the uk quali just to play in the wild card?

snottyotter

No, but part of doing it is that you are prepared to do both, don't want people playing if they are aiming for 7th to just do the actual euros, who will then pull out and mess up rankings if they get 8th and the wildcard.

but were not going to grenoble are we? if we qualify for the euros we will just go to the euros?

Yeah, if you get 1-7 then you can go to just Paris, but you need to be prepared to do both if you are playing, so that if you do take 8-10, you don't pull out because you could only make the paris dates.

Sorry, Grenoble's something else anyway ain't it? The wildcard is somewhere else a few days before the main tourney.

ah ok, if its a few days before thats not too bad but theres a good chance we could be 8-10 are you planning on going to rouen? im thinking if we dont get straight into the euros il just go to Geneva and watch the worlds instead? Geneva was amazing last time

Yep, If the route to the Euro's is wildcard, then wildcard we shall do, otherwise we shouldn't be doing the qualifier. It's not gonna be much different than having the wildcard in Paris, it's like an hour on the train, or if we drive then it's pretty much on the way.

For those considering going to Geneva for the Worlds - and who on earth isn't?! - then why not be a volunteer!
