"Zero" chance of that!

I've put in a request for leave from Work over that weekend - won't know for certain for a couple of weeks, though.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 05-19-2022 02:57

A very amusing post and response chaps.
Rob.

**Hedeby** · 05-19-2022 06:22

I'd love to go... will just have to see how things pan out over the next 6-9 months

**Dan-Sam** · 05-19-2022 07:32

It's easy, Tim knows the drill: just post it here and I can add you on the list. No need to know exact numbers a year before, just giving you chance to reserve a weekend for Prague in advance

**tikkifriend** · 05-19-2022 15:07

Is the Pope a Catholic ? A definate yes for me .

**Dan-Sam** · 05-19-2022 22:59

Yes, usually he is, so you are in! Welcome back on your home base, pilot

**hokusai** · 05-20-2022 00:45

Intend to attend too

**Dan-Sam** · 05-20-2022 00:55

Happy to read it, Fabrizio. You are on the list again

**Dan-Sam** · 06-20-2022 22:57

We need brave men. We need men with organization skill. We need you, player of WOW, for running a mission in Prague 2023. Any ideas? I am sure you have some. Show the best!

It will be good to see you here Tim

Guus

Good, good and more! :emoji_of_devil_counting_souls:
I'll put you on the list, these two posts made my day

**tikkifriend** · 10-28-2022 09:36

Myself ,and the now mobile Mary will be there to help Svens female companions shop in Prague.

**Dan-Sam** · 11-20-2022 23:00

Gentlemen, is is my pleasure to announce officers Asja, Guus, Jelena and Nemanja were added to the active pilot list for April mission. Dismiss!

#metoo

**Dan-Sam** · 11-20-2022 23:58

Sir, yes, sir!

(added on the list)

**Dan-Sam** · 12-27-2022 02:40

I need your opinions, pilots: there is no standard&cheap Saturday venue around Láďa's shop (still counting with it for Friday and Sunday). What do you think about moving to a different part of Prague for Saturday? We were discussing the second river bank also.
Feel free to add your perspective, please

**hokusai** · 12-27-2022 03:24

As long as it is easily reachable by public transportation any place is ok for me

**Dan-Sam** · 12-27-2022 07:24

Definitely: it's a necessary condition for moving. Luckily, Prague public transportation works (relatively) well and there are almost no white areas on city map without transportation stops.

**Hogey62** · 12-28-2022 15:13

Yes, finding a venue, some youth club or something similar, big enough for all games and gamers, would be first priority, no matter where in Pague. Second would be the hotel / or a list for the accommodation nearby.

**tikkifriend** · 12-30-2022 11:18

Is last years venue not available Dan ?

**Dan-Sam** · 12-30-2022 11:49

It is, but there are several troubles with them:

They wanted 10 000 CZK just for reservation .
Not sure if the venue is big enough for standard 50+ particiants.
Lady in charge complained me we were not ordering enough exactly 20 minutes after begining of the event.

Hotel MARS is not a hotel anymore (it is in process of rebuilding to appartments right now).
Pity there is no such place like South Yorkshire Air Museum, that's perfect.

Agree, Thomas.
Hard to write the list (maybe I'm still too much a budget guy), but it's easy to point main tramlines around, so you can stay in centre and close to venue too (in perspective of travelling time).

**FabZan** · 01-03-2023 09:22

I'll do my best to join the Italian Team during this event.
Willing to earn my glory, in all the game, flying in the sky or sailing on the sea..

How about the observatory in Prague? do they have rooms to rent for the day ?

If you mean the astronomical observatory (https://www.planetum.cz/stefanikova-hvezdarna/ ) then they don't. The rooms they have are now used for public astronomical exhibitions.

Just in case someone needs inspiration for the italian planes repaint contest. This site is specialized in Regia Aeronautica and shows plenty of wonderfully built models.

Can anyone recommend a hotel somewhere near Svět deskových her?

I need to book something soon.

Also, are there any highly recommended day excursions I might want to tack on to my visit?

Weird how the price of Flights works out...

If I fly in an extra day earlier than I need to, and also fly out an extra day late, my flights work out £100 cheaper?!!!!!!

Looks like 2 extra days in Prague, then!
