185th VFS Gathering 2008
Gentlemen our proposal this year will be that we all will have our yearly gathering in Sweden, on the weekend of 6-8 June, 2008
Accommodation will be provided to all free of charge if you are happy with modest facilities in a gymnasium. Bring you own sleeping bag and pillow. There will also be cooking facilities for you to make your own breakfast. The gymnasium has showers, etc., that we can use and if you are happy to sleep on sporting mats you don't need to bring sleepingmats/downmats as there are plenty available for use. There are of course other accommodations available, like hostels, B&B and hotels should you prefer that, but then of course that will cost you from 10 Euros up.
It can also be arranged with a visit to our technical museum in Malmö where they have a good display of Swedish fighters J35 Draken and they have a flight simulator that my friend was one of the creator to build.
We have a lot of good restaurants here in Sweden and, if Novac approves, we can go to a nightclub. Novac has to visit a Swedish nightclub to confim that he was right.
Transportation in Sweden between all events will be sorted out with some small petrol fees probably being required to cover costs.
The accommodation is 7.2 km from where I live and we can of course have a BBQ in my garden and you all have a chance to see the infamous Tracer's cockpit.LOL
Regarding flights to Sweden I would suggest EASY Jet as transportation, as they have very good prices. If you book well in advance, ie 2-3 months in advance, I have seen £1 fares to Copenhagen, which is a 20 minute drive from my home. Pickup in Denmark will be arranged.
Transportation in UK last was a nice surprise; my bus ticket from London to Bristol was £5 and I can happily recommend Megabus as a very comfortable and nice ride to Bristol.
To give you some hint where you are going please visit:

Tracer, please confirm: is this date already fixed? Or is there a chance it will be changed? I´m asking because I found a cheap flight from Frankfurt-Copenhagen that I could buy now if it was the case.

If Malmø is closest then I will be taking the bus there, indeed. Maybe catch a plane if that's not too expensive. Would love a pick up. :)
