Thread: Prague Summer Con 2013

  1. #1

    Default Prague Summer Con 2013

    I hope my Czech friends will forgive me announcing it as the first one, but due to some questions asked on the Forum and PM's, I'd like to start this thread in advance to let everybody know that we are going to organize (yes!) the second annual Prague Summer Con 2013.

    As the 2012 participants agreed, the last weekend of July 2013 is a good time to visit the magical Prague, enjoy night time walks along Vltava river and have some magnificent beers of all times. And of course, most of all, play some WGF/WGS games.

    So if anybody is interested in joining the fun, please enlist here.
    I can suggest a good place to stay in the heart of the Old Town, hotel Bologna, were me, my Wing mates, our families and and Sven AKA Marechallannes stayed. There was even a proposal to organize games in this hotel, but it's up to our Czech friends to arrange it - with our little help of course.

    See you in Prague, gals and guys!


    According to popular demand, here goes the list of participants. Please PM me or post in the thread if YOU want to be on the list


    1. Jan AKA Watchdog CZ,
    2. Jan AKA Lino22 CZ,
    3. Aleksandr AKA Kancelot CZ,
    4. Sven AKA Marechallannes, D,
    5. Daniel, AKA Kaiser, D,
    6. Markus, D
    7. Nemanja SR,
    8. Yelena, SR,

    Weekend in the middle of holidays is really bad for volunteer who's working with young people and need to maximalize his job holidays with weekends to stay out of the city. Life is that. Enjoy it, I am sure it will be fine.

    Wow, wish I could be there. I have visited your lovely city as a tourist and well remember the beer and walking the city at night soaking up the atmosphere around Wencesles square (which I remember as actually being rectangular )

    Probably: Wenceslas Square [Vaclavske Namesti] a great place, truly.

    I'm in!

    ...and try to mobilize some of my game group members and German forum users.

    Last July weekend is perfect.

    I think I'll arrive a day earlier, this time.

    So this is the "information thread"? Do we open an "organization thread" in the Czech Forum?

    I opened the thread in the OC to make it easily available for all, but of course we can open it in the Czech forum as well - let's leave it up to Czech mates.

    Arriving a day before is a very good plan for obvious reasons

    I want to ask you, please, use Officers Club. The main purpose of the Czech forum is communication between players in czech language. Thank you very much.

    I look forward to seeing you all in Prague next July.

    I hope more people can come since the date has been announced already, which should give most people enough time to squeeze it into their schedule.

    We will be there as well. My girlfriend and by then our 5 month old son will be joining me. We will be there the whole week before the Con to visit Prague and its surroundings. We will be booking everything this week and are planning to stay at the hotel Bologna. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

    Since the hun's have occupied Belgium twice, I would be glad to join them . We do share the same flag colours so that makes things even easier .

    Good sense of humor is the essence of our meeting


    I think we should start national participation lists in the thread


    I bring at least my usual team, like I did this year. These are sure to come. The third family of gamers will probably come as well

    Yes I am going to be, Bob. Right after Origins I'll be able to make an oral report for some other members in Prague. At a bar with cold beers
    But frankly, traveling (I've been traveling a lot in the past), meeting new people, talking to them is what I like the most. People are so wonderfully different. We say here: "travels educate you" and it's very true. For example: We Poles and Czechs have a common border, I've been there many times, but discovered they differ from us and are very interesting people. So I started reading a book, written by young but famous Polish author who lived there, to grasp their habits, mentality and so on. It's fascinating to explore other nations' cultures. Well, at least I love it
    And when all this traveling is connected with gaming hobby - what can be better? I feel so sorry for people (even some friends of mine) who do not have opportunities to travel or (even worse) do not have command in any foreign language.
    So yes, I can't wait for June and July 2013!

    I could arrange some engraving on the top...

    The winner has to fill it with beer and empty it with one swallow.

    Prost!

    Our saying is " Travel broadens the mind", to which I added, "Also the waistline, but slims the wallet".

    Rob, you can find this stuff in German militaria catalouges.

    This one is without charge. All you have to do is: Come to Prague and show the others your WW I flight abilities.

    Unfortunately the period between April and mid September has to be held open for my Re-enactment activities.

    Excellent Czech beer is a regular fuel for our planes and minds during the Con.
    Well, frankly speaking playing WoG games is just an excuse for us, heavy drinkers, to come to Prague. It's just our July Fest

    You are most welcome, "Pilot"

    Any thoughts about the gaming location?

    Think it depends on the number of players.

    Club Mephit was cool. Especially the ice box with cooled beers & drinks!!!

    I agree with you Sven. If you could occupy all the tables the space would be enough even for a greater number of players, like 14-16 IMHO.

  36. #36

    I can book the tables in advance, but it would be good to know how many people plan to come. I think it is still a bit too early for that.

    I'm shure I can persuade a minimum of one or two members of my playgroup to join us in July.

    ...but with and experienced Aerodrome member like Kaiser - it will be perfect.
