SLAY Radio Gathering 2007

Post by Slaygon »

SLAY Radio Gathering

After the success of the first and second SLAY Radio Gathering, we're doing it again!
Saturday 4th August is the date, and you're all invited! Join the SLAY Radio
staff around Slay HQ, for a barbecue at Keillers Park in the daytime, and an
evening of chatting, drinking and pool playing at nearby Kville Biljard, where there's a room booked just for the Gathering!

There's also an "unofficially official" get-together planned on the night
before (Friday 3rd) for those who can make it a day earlier.

This is your chance to chat with all those you didn't have time to chat with at BIT Live, so make sure you turn up! :D

In order for us to get a good guesstimate of numbers, please let us know if you intend to come along by giving your vote at http://www.slayradio.org/gathering.php (you need an account to be able to vote)

We hope to see you there!
(or here, or ... erm... wherever)

Here's some useful information for those of you intending to go to the SLAY Radio Gathering held on Saturday August 4th 2007 (with unofficially official pre-Gathering drinkies on Friday 3rd!). As ever, if you have any further queries or comments, please do not hesitate to e-mail us at - gathering [AT] slayradio.org!

More precise information will be given once we have an indication of how many people are coming, and which transport they will be using.<br>

ACCOMODATION:

If you need somewhere to stay, here's our recommendations:

- Kville Hotel, which is at Kvilletorget, 50 meters away from the Biljard and 200 meters away from Keillers Park, and also the cheapest option. Talk amongst yourselves and try to share rooms for even cheaper options!

GETTING THERE:

Gothenburg has two airports; Gothenburg City Airport (at Säve) is the nearest and is host to Ryanair, the cheap airline, so that is your best option if you can use it. Bus and rail are, of course, also good options if you live in mainland Europe. Here are some useful links and options for you:

- Ryanair
Ryanair service London Stansted, Glasgow, Dublin and Frankfurt airports from their City Airport in Säve, just outside Gothenburg. There are regular buses from the airport to Gothenburg's Central Station (from which there is a 10 minute tram ride to Kville); or there is a fixed-price for taxi journeys from the airport to Kvilletorget (300 SEK; 32 EUR).

- SAS
SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) have regular flights to Landvetter, Gotheburg's International Airport. SAS are, obvioulsly, more expensive than RyanAir but you will get more options. Like City Airport, there are regular buses from Landvetter to Central Station, and a fixed-price taxi ride to Kvilletorget.

- www.sj.se (in English)
SJ run the trains into Gothenburg Central Station, and is an alternative option for those of you in Sweden, Denmark or other serviced areas.

- SweBus Express
SweBus Express also run a number of buses in Sweden, Denmark and Norway (with links to Germany from Copenhagen), into Gotheburg's Nils Ericsson terminal (just next to the Central Station).

GETTING FROM CENTRAL STATION (NILS ERICSSON TERMINAL) TO KVILLE:

There is a tram service just across the road from the front of centralstationen called "Nordstaden". Just get on the Route 6 tram (heading towards Länsmangården) and travel three stops (the first taking you over the bridge) to Vågmästareplatsen. You will see the "KVILLETORGET" sign from the tram stop.

HERE'S A LITTLE ROUTE MAP TO TAKE YOU TO KVILLE BY TRAM:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride'

Never. =)

I like to confuse people!

Oh, and when they are standing between those two points, it's hard to miss either of them. :)

Solar flares.
Strong winds.
Tidal flows.
Sun spots.
Earth rotation.

Oh. Wait... It's the time difference! :D

City Airline fly direct from Manchester to Gothenburg, only snag is during thw week it leaves Manchester at 1900, takes 1hr 50 and gets in at 2150, so it's a case of checking with the Kville to see if you can check in quite late (actually Slaygon, can you check that? Cos if I'm coming I'll be doing the same..)

The Sunday flight is leave 1730, arrive Manchester 1820. Just an option for you. Last time I looked that return was £128.30.
