There is also always the trip to Pilsen Brewery Tim!

I seem to remember having a chat to you in the caves.
Never too late for a rematch where beer is involved Tim.

Not promising but I may be able to make it too.

See you on the Dark Side......
First of all, please, note that Saturday part of event will be (probably) somewhere else (thinking about Košíře on the opposite river bank). There is no ideal venue for Saturday close to Svět deskových her after closing Hotel Mars (pity!) and we want to keep it cheap. Friday and Sunday still in Svět deskových her, so not a bad quarter to stay there.
I remember there were plenty of Air B'n'B appartments for cheap rent there if you do not need ***** hotel
Never been in that museum, but Dresden is a little gem on Elbe. There is also an interesting Museum of Hygiene there (sounds boring, but it is not) in pre-war bulding built according to Speer's architecture (building, not the museum; also interesting experience to walk around).
Good! Keep us updated, Neil. Welcome back!![]()
I love Dresden. The rebuilt church is absolutely stellar, the town is full of young people who speak English, the brutalist architecture in the centre is also a gem and seeing a concrete apartment houses right across the street from the city centre is something you won't see anywhere else. They also have a weekend flea market on the river bank, where you can but assorted Hitler related stuff![]()
I’d love to come, but not sure the pocket money will stretch that far.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Guys, any news about the Saturday'svenue?
And what is "official" suggestion? Where to look for hotel or apartment?
Three options:
- Somewhere relatively close to Svět deskových her (map) as assual: 60%
- On the other river bank as Plan B: 30%
- Somewhere between I. P. Pavlova and Svět deskových her: 10%
You can't make a mistake in case of accommodation on metro lines or along the tram line #22.
Point is there are two days in Svět deskových her anyway (Friday and Sunday) and just Saturday somewhere else (so two times to well known location and one time to unsure venue) - I recommend to hire accommodation according Friday and Sunday.
Unfortunately there are several thinks we need to consider:
- Hotel MARS is over. Forever. It would be rebuilt for appartments.
- Gutovka (last year venue) was an expensive choice (10000CZK just for rent) - unsustainable.
- Svět deskových her isn't work dor for 30+ participants.

I added Fabio and Neil on the list. Please, if you still thinking about participation, let me know - we are talking about Saturday venue right now and need to know how many pilots would join![]()
Hello Dan (and others),
Alas I need to tell you I won't be coming to this years Prague Summer Con ... (note: emphasis on "this years" ...)
I do hope you all have a great time battling & beering.
cheers,

hi Dan, me and my twelve year old son would like to participate to the event next april. Do I have to sign up in some form or is it enough to write you here? Thanks. Massimo

Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Hello Dan and friends!
Please count me in. This year I will definitely attend!
Thanks,
Riccardo
Thank for it! Missions and pilots are welcomed, great
I made a major update of the list and let me announce we chose also a venue for Saturday - a pub near Láďa's store. We can stay there whole day and event![]()
Everything sounds great. What about the UK Wing? I do not see much participation from there yet.
This is great! The biggest question is: shall we bring something for the International Buffet, or not?
Andrzej, first time I went you proposed a great scenario with Polish fighters against Italian Macchi fighters & Fiat bombers in the desert. Seeing the good participation both from Poland and from Italy, maybe we could play it again...

Yes, the man, who refuse Italian and French food, is a barbarian! But please, not for Saturday. Do you think Sunday is possible or Friday would be better because shorter time needed for it in fridge?
The agreement pub is we are there for free if everyone would spend 750CZK there in average (=30€). No need to push yourself into anything, the rest can be paid from donations. Fair enough for me.
Well, since on Sunday at the end of the morning somebody leaves even in a rush, probably it would be better to plan an International Snack on Friday (or Fryday if Scottish Eggs are involved). IMHO.
Cheap prices of beer in Prague make this a bit of a challenge, but I feel that I can do my part. Especially since we will be there at lunchtime!
We will also offer a slot to test this new prototype of mine:

Food on friday seems like a good idea. sort of aperos as they say in France before the main onslaught in the evening.

I agree, let me confirm international bufet for Friday evening. I'll try to leave my office early to be there in advance.
Definitely, I expect we won't move for dinner too (the only exception is that we would not be satisfied with cousine, but hope not). It should be sum of all bills, so we have an ace: thank you for your tireless service, Nemanja!
I am happy you are comming every time, Tim, but combination with Origins will make you WoG year very special![]()
Have you got an address for this glorious pub/games room / restaurant ?
Just so I can get my compass set for the trams on Saturday

Thats me , you , Andy and Sven at the same venue
Enought for evening boardgames if required![]()

I made a major update today. Mostly updating Post #1, but also changed Post #2 to European Masters Information Board.
I have two requests on you right now:
- Tell me if you are able / want to organize a mission, please. There are 5 free slots from Friday to Sunday in this moment.
- Tell me if you want to attend European Masters.
Dan the choice of venue looks excellent . no problem spending some coin of the realm there.![]()
