lanetomlane Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Naturally, having booked the flights, the original date suits us best. However, someone needs to make a decision, sooner rather than later as far as I'm concerned. I've just checked and if it's going to be the weekend of the 5th October we will not be able to make it. If the date was going to change I had assumed it would have gone to the weekend after the original date, that is the 19th.

earleygallery Posted February 8, 2019 Share #22 Posted February 8, 2019 I've just done a quick check on Booking.com and there's plenty of hotel availability on both weekends and prices are the same. I can't make a decision on whether I can join this one yet, all depends on my domestic situation, but I've always wanted to visit Seville. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandokan Posted March 23, 2019 Share #26 Posted March 23, 2019 Correct old bean. Date stays at 12 October. I will go just after Easter to do the bookings and check out hotels etc. I have found 4 locals who work for the same company as me so will ask them for help. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandokan Posted April 2, 2019 Share #28 Posted April 2, 2019 Hi, I will be in Seville 25-29 April and will meet Tom McM there. I can confirm that hotels are not cheap - let me see if we can get a discount for a block booking. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted April 3, 2019 Share #33 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) What is a One Challenge actually? I know there is a FAQ, but the search engine does not respond to that term and I can’t find it either. Then there is a button ‘Calendar’, but the Seville meeting is not on it Edited April 3, 2019 by otto.f Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted April 3, 2019 Share #35 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) 53 minutes ago, otto.f said: What is a One Challenge actually? The Leica Forum One Challenge is held on a Saturday in October in a different European city each year. It's called the One Challenge because participants use one body and one lens (either or both must be sold by Leica) to take up to one roll (or 36 digital pictures) at one ISO value in one hour (which has been extended to two hours in recent years) and submit one anonymous picture for voting by any forum members who wish to place their vote. So far the Leica One Challenge has been held in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Krakow, Malta, Venice, Palermo (Sicily), Copenhagen, Istanbul, Wetzlar, Vienna, Lisbon, Rome, Lyon, and this year it will be held in Seville. Any forum member is invited to take part and there is normally a dinner on the Saturday evening and other informal social events from Thursday evening onwards. Pete.

larsv Posted April 3, 2019 Share #36 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) It's a great excuse to visit a nice place and meet nice people that have a love for Leica and photography in common. Usually the food and drinks are not too poor. Edited April 3, 2019 by larsv 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share #38 Posted April 7, 2019 Block booking a hotel sounds a great idea. Will not make any arrangements until after your trip. Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say, but I will probably be in USA the week before Seville. If it was the week after, I would join the NY Challenge. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
