cheap is flying from maastricht aachen airport (sadly no more ryan air there) (this is my back yard) with ryan air for the price of a meal to London (all in this means 100 neuro return though)

I think though most rhd 's will want to come by car, so its probably best to be around calais for the tunnel/ferries etc...
luck,
JPF

EB,

not sure if it is applicable for all Photobucket accounts but the account I use allows me to use 100 Mb webspace for pictures and a monthly bandwidth of approx 1 Gb.

ESone: I always have a soft spot for a black/ red striping 480
Logical when I had this big poster with a black/ red striping 480 in my bedroom when I was 5.

LOL, I have the Turbo-version of that sticker, bought it in Sweden last year :D

Nice to see everyone enjoyed the meeting big-time! Gives us motivation to organise more meetings :D

Thanks for the tip, Carsten! Will keep it in mind as I too sometimes am terrible at remembering names and faces ;)

I will be gathering all photos and film-material taken at the meeting and put it on DVD that can be obtained from me, I will soon send an e-mail to everyone that had registered for the meeting and ask for a copy of all photo's and films they are willing to share :) Will be one big DVD loaded with 480 :D

I don't see why not, everyone can order one, but the following weeks will be spent on gathering the A/V materials and perhaps some editing here and there ;)

Don't know how to get the stickers, I had never seen them before VROM 2003 (Sweden) and never since, surprises me that also ES versions of the sticker exist...

Wow, that's a nice picture indeed, you seem very handy with graphics, are you in the design-industry somewhere perhaps?
