S-EBTM 2011 Post your candidacy here!

[rlaurenssen]

In this topic, you can volunteer to organise Summer EBTM11. This topic will be closed on October 30th, so that before the end of the year we can (if necessary) filter out candidates.

Requirements/conditions/guidelines for organisers

* Two organisers or more. One will be appointed as the main organiser
* The main organiser is at least 21 years old
* The main organiser should be able to communicate in English
* At least one of the organisers should have participated in an official international Eurobilltracker meeting
* At least one of the organisers should live in or know the city where the event will take place very well
* At least one of the organisers should have organised a national EBT meeting

Requirements/conditions/guidelines for candidate city

* The city should have a certain touristic appeal. International EBTM participants will stay for more than one day. They should be able to see more things than they will see on the meeting day. (Touristic examples: Museums, touristic happenings or events, statues, old buildings/churches/castles or other touristic siteseeings, animal zoo, theme parc, concerts, boat or ferry trips...)
* The city should be located near an international airport.
* The city should have a railroad station, preferrable an international railroad station
* There should be youth hostels nearby where people can stay cheap
* There should be a location big enough to host the General Assembly of the Association
* There should be a few restaurants which are able to have a large group of people eating there or two/three restaurants located near eachother which can handle some smaller groups.
* The city has a national bank which can be visited by EBTM-participants or has some sort of euro-related place to visit (Examples: euro parliament, money museum, ... ). This will be considered as a bonus and not that important at all.

Remember this a checklist. If a candidate doesn't match any of these conditions, they still can be a candidate to organise an official international eurobilltracker meeting.
Still, the more requirements a candidate-organising team has, the more credibility the candidacy has.

Candidates place your candidacy here in this thread before October 30th. If you do so, give us the name(s) of the organising team, the city you want to organise Summer EBTM11 in and the dates that you can organise it. A detailed schedule of the event is not needed, the big lines are appreciated.

Please, keep this thread for candidates only!

Note: A organizing team can apply for both the summer and winter meeting, but can only organize one of them.

Well, finally, the Spanish Community is pleased to, officially, announce our candidature for next Summer EuroBillTracker Meeting 2011.

Angelino and I are the official organisers, but behind us we have all the Spanish Community for to help us, and working for all you. Both worked in a meeting, few years ago, mixed with another money related forum. This year we had our official First National Meeting in Logroño, and some of you met me in some International EBT Meetings.

As you know Barcelona has the dynamic and open personality so typical of Mediterranean cities. Has its own way of life which makes it unique.

Barcelona has a range of hotels to suit every taste and pocket.

How to get Barcelona?

Airports: Barcelona Airport, El Prat, is located just 12 km outside the city. Girona Airport, north of the city, and Reus, to the south, are a little over an hour away. Lleida Airport, to the west, is just over two hours away.

Arriving by train: Barcelona has direct connections with different parts of Europe and throughout Spain, as well as a comprehensive regional and suburban rail network.

Arriving by car: The city has excellent road links and you can get to all parts of the city conveniently using the motorway and road network.

Best period for to visit the city is between june-july and September. Date will be decided in next weeks.

Day 0  pre-meeting: I’m sure we are going to have our pre-meeting day, so we can try to spend time in the Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).

Day 1  we need more than a weekend for to visit the city but we are going to try to show you big part of it, we want to share with all you our heritage. We want to show you part of the Catalan Modernism (Art Nouveau) buildings by architects such as Antoni Gaudi, Domènech i Montaner and Puig I Cadafalch, to name just a few. Part of our great open-air museum.

Time for the General assembly for the Association.

We are also going to try to visit part of the Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter.

Day 2  we will organize a little visit to a city near Barcelona, a new dot.

Day 3 …  we can try to visit more places if you want, we can plan something if is needed.
