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:

The Dalai Lama enjoyed the Hessenpark too

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

Any recommendations, flying in from NYC, for the best / closest Flughafen?

[andybarton]

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.

[LUF Admin]

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:

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

 

Best regards from Bonn

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.

[earleygallery]

I'm already on leave at the beginning of June & its also a busy time at work. But maybe.......

 

Well done on putting together such a full program of events so far & the location looks great!

[cocker]

Andreas,

 

Thanks - I would have liked to but I am away on holiday at that time.

[andybarton]

Is it possible / feasible to come just on the Saturday?

Yes, naturally!

[andybarton]

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?

[Weltraumpräsident]

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

[andybarton]

Thanks for the offer, Michael.

 

I plan to hire a car on the Thursday morning, so that I can have a bit of an explore, prior to supper on the Thursday evening.

Hey, this is in the middle of Euro2008. Makes it complicated. I have to negotiate but would love to come.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[dcoombs]

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

[cbretteville]

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

 

Cheers,
