Could someone also sticky this posting.

Due to a variety of adverse conditions the site will be up in a couple of days. For those who are in a hurry here are the first pieces of info.
We are really sorry for the delay and expect you all to come and play in Athens
Panos

April 9-11 2010
Pireas â€“Hellas

VENUE
The â€˜Apollo Exhibition Centreâ€™ is located at Ermoupoleos & Piliou 1 streets. This 19th cent. building, originally a rice mill, is situated right next to Peiraios Av. which is constructed along the â€˜Athenian Long Wallsâ€™ and connects Athens to its major port, Peiraias.
The venue is very close to the Peiraias city centre within easy reach of accommodation, bars and restaurants which cater for all tastes.
For those interested in revisiting their 2006 places of interest the trip is easily covered by bus, tram and the Athens electric train just 15 minutes from Omonoia sq. (Centre of Athens)
The Karaiskaki Electric Train station is 500m from the venue and is next to the same named football stadium of Olympiakos.

Is BHGS organising entry or do we apply directly? The BHGS site seems to be dying (last updated 26/11, and half of that was already out of date).

Athens is pretty easy to get to, I think BHGS only sort things out for Australia/RSA etc

The biggest decision seems to be stay in Piraeus port or in downtown Athens really.

I was asking about the entry process, not booking travel. I'm sure previous comps have gone through BHGS not direct (I guess to help the organisers?)

The BHGS will be providing an entry form for those wishing to go,there isn't much available on the Athens website to provide prices etc,we will also offer the BHGS t-shirts again although someone will need to volunteer to take them out as Lynda and I are unable to go this year or I could bring them to the Challenge,
For those wanting to plan even further ahead see here www.iwf2011.org
We will be going to that one

How is actually thinking of going to Athens then? It is getting close to cheap-flight-booking time

nikgaukroger · Post by **nikgaukroger** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 1:32 pm

I'm not able to go either.

grahambriggs · Post by **grahambriggs** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 1:36 pm

I'll be going, somehow.

Any volunteers to take the trophy to Athens - sadly I can't make it.

I can bring it along to BHGS Challenge?

The Barcelona club is meant to send several people all using Catalan Company armies but I'll believe it when I see it. I won't be attending.

There are several of us here talking about it. Also I belive several Down under people are as well.

Probably 4 or 5 from us going (not counting the DBx players as I've no idea on their plans), certainly my flight is already booked.

MatteoPasi · Post by **MatteoPasi** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 1:29 pm

Some players from Italy, I'don't know how many but at least 5

MatteoPasi · Post by **MatteoPasi** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 6:18 pm

A correction: at least 8 players from Italy

Me and Phil from MAWS are going, mainly to keep everybody happy by pulling cavalry interpenetrating Light Foot manoevers.
