Ausrufezeichen International User Meeting / Hessenpark near Solms / June 13th-15th 2008

Dear all,

Robert Hill of the German Forum and I are planning a forum meeting next summer (June 13th - 15th).
We already booked a place where several German user meetings took place:
The Way Around - Open-Air Museum Hessenpark

It's a great open air museum in a beautiful landscape with lots of events going on - that weekend iron casting will be demonstrated.

Some images of the location:
Fotoarchiv für die Presse - Freilichtmuseums Hessenpark

The Dalai Lama enjoyed the Hessenpark too
Besucheransturm: Herzlicher Empfang für den Dalai Lama | Nachrichten | hr

We have no detailled program until now but it's not too far from Leica Camera in Solms (we'll try to organize a factory tour including a visit of the Leica Shop) and the Frankfurt Airport.

We'd really love to have a lot of international participants too! Please tell us via the poll if you're interested to join us!

Best regards
Andreas

If you

Frankfurt is the biggest hub in Europe after Heathrow, IIRC. But if prices are better, there are lots of flights from the UK (Heathrow/Gatwick for example) to Frankfurt.

OK, now we're some steps further - we have

- Support from Leica (Factory tours, equipment rental for free, participation in discussions)
- A program over three days
- Great workshops (still growing)
- Some sponsors

... and: the official program including the registration form:
Programm_en_v2.pdf

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the International forum members!

Best regards from Bonn
Andreas

Would really like to come, but it's just too close to my Annual Leave, unless I can swing something...

Would have loved it, of course, but it's one of the busiest time workwise, so sorry, but I won't be able to attend.

Hmmm. I seem to have negotiated a pass for the Friday. I don't know how that happened!

Maybe I'll be able to come after all.

Any other UK folk planning a trip?

Maybe you guys if you come to Frankfurt you would be happy to get a lift from airport to Taunus.
I would support this - its no big deal for me to pick some or all of you (depends how much and when you will arrive) up
cheers Michael

My German is really rusty. Will any of the lectures or discussion sessions be bi-lingual?

Program looks good. I will try to make it. Need to negotiate this one with the Mrs and it depends on the flights.

Cheers,
- Carl
