Ah, if it's in May I won't be able to attend.

Carry a mop in my honour.

It now emerges that I may be working in Japan on that date, but I won't be able to confirm for some time...

Oh no you mustn't. Surely Utrecht and TT is more important than some silly Asian place?

It looks more likely that I would be able to do a late May rather than early June date :)

without reading everything, wouldn't it be best to plan sth in a city where planes go directly to ? :D i can get easily to amsterdam, but there would be additional costs to Utrecht (and only 1h fligh time, or 3h50 by car...stupid speed limits of 120...dafuq)

Like many airports, Schiphol isn't in Amsterdam but in some town surrounding Amsterdam. By train it's just under 20 minutes and EUR 4,10 from the airport to Amsterdam (4x an hour). Utrecht takes just over 30 minutes and EUR 8,50 from Schiphol (4x an hour); both trains are direct and leave from below the arrivals/departure hall. If you're coming from Luxembourg by car Utrecht is actually closer by about 40 kilometers (with mostly 100 km/h high way from Utrecht to Amsterdam).

I just wondered when checking my calender... anything decided yet?

Obviously if you could only make one of the two days, that's fine - if you can make both, even better.
No date in May is not possible for me. My personal preference is a not-too-early June weekend.

Nothing is decided for sure yet. Will try to get something sorted reasonably soon.

Do you mean you can't make any date in May, or you can but you'd prefer June?

I really cannot make any of the May dates due to other long-scheduled travels. I could in principle make the 6/7 June, but that's the first weekend after I return home from the travels in May, thus prefer to spend it with my girl friend :)

For those coming by plane to Schiphol: the current planning is that on the weekends of May 30/31 and June 6/7 maintenance work will be carried out between Schiphol and Amsterdam/Utrecht, so you will have to take a replacement bus and then transfer to a train at another station making it somewhat more tricky to get where you want to go.

Perhaps that would make the last two weekends in the poll the most attractive options.

Sorry I've not got anything sorted with this yet, not sure what I might be able to do at the moment. Will try to get something sorted very soon though.

Wooow, what a nice idea to have a TT-meeting in my home-country. If it's coming to the Netherlands I sure will be around. Last time I visited the railway museum in Utrecht is way too long ago and I never visited the miniture railway in Rotterdam...I prefer a weekend in June, but I keep track on when this meeting will take place ! :wink:

Because I live in Utrecht, most dates would be agreable for me.
If a date is picked that i don't have open now, perhaps I can change my own schedule.
I just started with OpenTTD, but I played Transport Tycoon a lot.
I now have a small dual-boot linux laptop and i'm very pleased to play OpenTTD.

Sorry things have been quiet regarding the meet lately. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it will be practical for me to make it to a meet this year. That might change, but it's not looking so likely at the moment. If people still want to have a meet (and it would be a shame not to), then somebody will need to organise it. But I'm not sure I will be able to do that myself. :(

If anybody fancies an Aberdeen meet though, I could possibly manage that!

York? Crewe, maybe?

Trying not to break the three-word rule.....

Edit: Also, I now cannot do any of those dates - end of July I will be in Monaco. Early August possibly?

That's too bad. Are there still enough people willing to come to a meet in/around Utrecht if someone else organises it?

I could only really make it after these dates, from June 22nd onwards.
