Day 4: return home

I have the prices for a hotel near my home and depending on how many people coming I can rent a taxivan (9 persons). If more come I can rent more taxivans.

Every member is welcome so not only those from Europe. If you have the time and money to make the trip then I say come on over mate!
 
I d love to come but wife is pregnant and by the time of the meeting she will be 6 months and it would be difficult for her to travel.
 
I'll do my best to make it, but can't promise anything...
 
I need to know in time if anyone is coming. To arrange the hotel.
 
When is the deadline?

Congratulations, mate! :)
 
Before Juni would be ok and some more people should come.
 
I'd love to, question is if I can pay it. Like I said somewehere else, pretty broke at the moment and in the middle of a job transition... we'll see, I'll check.

Is there an airport somewhere near? Driving there by car is practically impossible and taking the train... let's say it's gonna be difficult but it'd be awesome.
 
The closest Dutch airport would be Eindhoven (1 hour by train to my town) and the closest overall airport is in Weeze (D) but I dont know if there is a train running towards Nijmegen? You would have to check. Weeze is about 30minutes drive from my town.
 
Cool. Wizzair flies from Belgrade to Eindhoven :)
I'll still need to check my finances, but i'll try :) oP
 
Don't think I can make it. It is just prior to the schoolholiday and I'm expected to travel with my family in that period...
