Support:Summer Meeting 2010

To celebrate the hot summer of 2010 we made the decission to set up a new real life meeting to have the chance again of seing some of the attendees from the Arianne-birthday meeting from Hannover again and just having a good and funny time together.

The confirmed attendees are: Hendrik, Markus, Katie, Silvio, Vanessa and Simon.

Location

Our guesthouse where we will stay is laying in a small city called Hilchenbach, 14 km away from Siegen, 95 km from Cologne/Köln and 130 km from Frankfurt am Main, at the foot of the german "Rothaargebirge".

The house is called Ferienhaus Walter and details about rooms and interior can be find on http://walterholidays.de/dnn/DasHaus/Ausstattung/tabid/181/Default.aspx . It's the last appartment shown on the map on the button of the page.

The location itself "Rothaargebirge" is a huge, originally natural park, which owns over 500 km of branded bycicle- and hiking trails and a unique natural environment.

Price

The price of one night for the appartment is 195,00 euro and a deposit has been paid from 300 euro by the confirmed attendees (50 euro/person). The rest of the price has to be paid 30 days before we arrive there (if we will stay there with 6 people, the rest would be 47,50 euro/person). Vanessa will pay the rest of the price from her bank account and hopes, that she will get the rest of the amount back in time :D More information will be given by her when the payment date will be set up by the house owners.

What isn't included in the price which is given above are the costs of <item>meat|food</item>, <item>tea|drinks</item> and special drinks like <item>wine|alcohol</item>. We decided to split the food and drink prices as though we are all eating and drinking normally and the cooking evenings will normally be visited by all attendees. The costs of alcoholic drinks of course don't have to be paid by people who are not drinking, don't worry :)

Events

Thursday

On Thursday afternoon the first attendees will arrive in our beautiful looking nice holiday appartment to start four wonderful days.

Friday

Friday will be a day for relaxing and maybe doing some activities together which are not quiet yet planned. The idea is it of cooking together in the evening and letting the plans for the friday a bit more open.

Saturday

Saturday could be our group-activity day with doing things like visiting a wild-park in the near of Hilchenbach where we will stay over the meeting days. The wild-park is a huge one with lots of animals in there and could be very funny to see and visit. More informations about the wild-park can be find here: http://www.panoramapark-wildpark.de/ (unfortunetly the page is just given in german and not in english, but the pics are looking really nice :) )

We also would really love it to have a BBQ toghether in the evening with lots of yummi food and drinks around :)

Sunday

The Sunday will be the last day of our meeting. Unfortunetly we have to leave our holiday-appartment at 11.00 am and maybe we can have something like a breakfast, lunch or dinner together so that we don't have to leave directly around that time.

Game ideas

For spending some nice hours together it would be fine to have some games which we could play together in teams through evenings or daytimes. If you are having any game ideas, it would be nice if you can add them here :)
