W-EBTM 2011 Vote for the date here!

Hello Everyone,

In this topic you can vote for the date for the Winter Meeting 2011. The options you can choose from are displayed above in the poll.
This poll will run until November 28th, Sunday evening. So there will be enough time to vote for a date that suit you best.
A midweek will be less expensive and banks in the area are open, the weekends are a little bit more expensive but it might be
more alive when there are more people staying in the hotel. :D

As I explained in my announcement for this winter meeting, the plans are to hold the meeting in Kalkar, Germany. At the moment the plan
is to stay at the hotel in Wunderland Kalkar. I can arrange a special price for every one,
wich will be something like €150,- for 3 nights, including food and drinks all day long. So that means no additional restaurants are needed,
except for the lunches. The plan is to visit the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands (The oldest city in the Netherlands) and Burgers Zoo in
Arnhem, also located in the Netherlands. This zoo is quite unique because you can visit the dessert and Jungle here indoors where it is
quite warm 8) . Additional activities are also planned during the evenings in our hotel.

This is the plan as it is now, we can also chose to do it the "traditional" way, which means that everyone chooses their own hotel/hostel.
So please let us know what your opinion is in this topic. If most people would like to choose their own place to stay and price range, I will
do it the traditional way.

For me, I liked the suggestion made here

For other words, everybody stay in the same hotel (not the "traditional" way :))

In my case, I have flights on Sunday and Thursday to Dusseldorf Weeze Airport.

That's a rather broad interval in the choises? Anyway, it doesn't matter to me: if I come, I can go all dates. And the choice for Kalkar is ok with me (even though I can better drive home every night).

Do keep in mind that the period of March 5-8 is carnaval. That could be a pro or a con for people, but maybe the prices for Kalkar reflect that.
As for events: there is even the option to go to the illustrous Rosenmontagsumzug in Cologne on monday the 7th. Fancy dress compulsory :wink: Who will design a nice EBT dress?

Either one of the midweek suggestions (Still voted for the first). Weekends are tough ones to get off from work :)

Or March 4th, 5th and 6th, as the choice is "somewhere between Feb 28 and Mar 13", right?

March 4th, 5th and 6th is not possible due to carnaval. It's not possible to arrange special prices during that particular weekend.
This was my mistake, I thought carnaval was much earlier this year, but I was looking at the dates of last year.

The poll runs until next Sunday, so it still can change (if there would be a lot of votes for another period, it will be THAT one).

But if this period keeps the most votes, the dates will be 11, 12 and 13th of March.

The voting has been closed.

With half of the votes for this optoin and some for "all periods are fine", this weekend will be the weekend of the meeting.
