EuroFurence 1995

Look out for this sign!

It's where we could place it, showing you the way to EuroFurence. (The cryptic letters are "Albedo" characters, standing for EuroFurence.)

EuroFurence is a meeting of European furries, organised by unci_narynin (Tobias Köhler) and Tes-Tui-H'ar (Gerrit Heitsch).

Date

EuroFurence will be held on the weekend from Friday 30th June 1995 to Monday 3rd July 1995.

Location

EuroFurence will be held in Tes's house at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Koog (north-west of Hamburg, north of where the Elbe river flows into the North Sea). It is an old farmhouse with a barn and enough space around it. The next neighbours are far, so it doesn't matter if we make noise. The sea is not behind the house, but within walking distance. The landscape is flat, the most distinctive landmarks are some large wind turbines.

There are three bedrooms, each with two beds and space for two more people bringing mat and sleeping-bag, plus some space in the roof level of the house. You can also bring tents and sleep in the back yard, if you prefer.

Activities

The first thing we'll do is erecting a flagpole in front of the house :) This should be no big deal as the really hard work (making concrete foundations) has been done by Tes and unci earlier this year.

Meeting each other in real life is a great thing! So EuroFurence will be a party, but perhaps more than a relaxicon. We can exchange art and other furry material, show videos (we will have two video players - you can bring your cassettes too), we will have an art show too if you bring something! Tes brings a laptop computer with a modem, so we can have Internet connectivity from the house, but as we have to call long distance, it is expensive and should not be too long.

We can go to the sea too - it is not too far away from the house. There are organised offshore hikes when the sea is low.

If you can bring art, music or videos to make the con more enjoyable, do so! We will provide the necessary equipment.

Registration

Sorry, we're all booked out! We thought we would get ten people together perhaps, now we are eighteen! If this continues to expand like this we'll have to look for a bigger house next year... :)

Money

Taking part in EuroFurence will cost 30 DM, to cover our expenses for food and such. Please bring your entrance fee as you arrive, and pay `at the door'. Take care to bring enough German currency (DM) with you (we plan to go to a pub too) as there will not be any exchange offices nearby.

Weather forecast

According to the weather forecast in ARD breakfast TV on Wednesday 28th June, it will be warm (over 20 degrees) and sunny on our weekend, with be totally sure at the coast, but it looks as if it's great weather to do most of EuroFurence in the garden. We have quite a lot of space out there...

Have fun!!
