NikonGear Revival GetTogether September2015

[Jakov Minić]

John, we are only interested in castles 
Actually, we just want to get together!
Photo opportunities are everywhere around us.
I am easy in that sense, give me a donkey or a flower and I am happy to shoot all day long...

So the list of participants:

1. Andrew
2. John Geerts
3. Smusesuse
4. The Crew

Would anybody else like to join the list, so that we can start booking accommodation?

The idea is to gather Friday afternoon 25 September and laugh about life until Wednesday 30 September.

[Anthony]

I am interested, but have to sort out a date clash first.

Would anybody else like to join, before we start booking accommodation?

Shall we stay in a remote area of the Black Forrest, or would we prefer to stay in Freiburg and make day trips?

Really looking forward to hanging out with old and new friends

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Expect an announcement about venue etc. coming soon.  Behind-the-curtain work is in progress ....

[Jakov Minić]

As Bjørn already announced, we will be staying from 25-30 September 2015 in Freiburg, Germany, here:

http://www.bierhaeusle.de/english/home-english.html

The accommodation can also be found on Booking.com if you like:

http://www.booking.com/hotel/de/bierhausle-restaurant.en-gb.html?sid=a6d5efc4f97ac7c5a94aba0337037a93;dcid=1;checkin=2015-09-25;checkout=2015-09-30;dist=0;group_adults=1;group_children=0;no_rooms=1;sb_price_type=total;srfid=dde87b8fea41041d89e5004f62a76c00f7273643X1;type=total;ucfs=1&

The single room price is 75€ per night including breakfast.
The double room for those who don't mind sharing and saving is 120€ per night including breakfast.

We didn't have a lot of time to organise our first NikonGear Revival GetTogether but we will nevertheless have a ball

Since we are not a travel agency and the GetTogether is a non-profit gathering, we suggest the following:
Everybody should book their own accommodation using the links above.
So, Andrew, John, Bez or anybody else joining, if you would like to share a room please feel free use our dear messaging system.
We made sure that there are enough rooms available as one of our main priorities when looking for accommodation, so the number of participants is not limited.

Thus far the list of participants that have confirmed their rooms are:

Jan Anne
Bjørn
Smusesuse
Jakov

Special thanks goes to Smusesuse for calling the hotel and using her linguistic skills in acquiring information.

If you have any questions or comments, now is the time to say so or forever hold your peace

See you all in Freiburg!

EDIT: 25 - 30 September 2015

[smusesuse]

A small adjustment here:

Everybody should book their own accommodation using the links above.

When I called the hotel and inquired about availability, I made a reservation for 8 rooms. Which means that up to 5 people can join this booking for a single room each. In that case, please send me your confirmation and your details. If you'd like to do your own booking, let me know and I'll limit our booking to the rooms for Bjørn, Jan Anne, Jakov, and myself.

[Jan Anne]

Thank you Smuse and Jakov for setting this up, really looking forward to go out in the field with you guys again
