[B]... the weekend of June18-20, 2004. This is the weekend of Father's Day, school's out, and everyone can bring their families. Besides, I can celebrate my 47th birthday (June 17) with you guys. Whaddaya think? Here's another site relating to the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor: http://www.armorfortheages.com/New%20Museum%20page.htm If you go to Mapquest.com, you can get directions on how to get to anywhere from anywhere. I used it for Charleston WV to Ft. Knox KY. Approx 4 hrs 42 min. Now, If we could find a Holiday Inn or something similar close by, we may be able to get a convention rate. I'm getting excited about this and will help however possible. [/B][/QUOTE]



Lets do June18-20, 2004. Sounds great! and Bernie/Jeff/Wild Bill send the pic to me and I will give er a go at posting!

Status: offline 		If I remember correctly, when I was there in March thru April, they were allowing people to get onto Ft. Knox to see the Museum, but I think you needed to call ahead and arrange it. I will call this Monday and see what I can find out. Also if there are any I.D. card holders going they can probably sign you in as long as everyone has a valid picture I.D.. I wish I could go, but alas the only time I get to go is when the Army pays for it.:D

How about the rest of our European members? Who's in favor of the idea, and what locations would you suggest?

I would prefer the Arnhem / Eindhoven / Nijmegen area.

j wish really organize a Spwaw Con in Europe!

If it's possible we can contact all the europen players, and, if possible, call also our american friends.


J can organize it only in Italy, but if there is someone that wish to organize in another european county, j agree.


So stand up european fan of Spwaw, and organize this convention !


Thank you Bernie. You are welcome in Europe !

But lets Remember...we are locked in for 2004.

many people want to and are ready go to Pattons...

I think even Bel wants to come over!

So...how about 2005?

Now! with that said...how about a Europe-Con that stands alone? Some of us might make that one;)

Thoughts?

Now, sometime in future, we could have simultaneous gatherings in the US and Europe, with a satellite video link between the two--now THAT would be the ultimate in coolness. Perchance to dream...

Both ideas have their pro's and con's, but I would prefer to wait for 2005. That way we could organize the event a bit better.
As Fallschirmjager already pointed out, Europe is pretty small so we could visit many places of interest in 2 or 3 days.
For example from Arnhem to Normandy it's abot 500 km, 5-6 hours by car. And from Normandy to the tank museum Saumur it's roughly the same distance.

Sergio Castaldi:p [/B][/QUOTE]

I am all for this! Nijmegen I can reach financially.. and maybe Normandy next year. Don't have the cash to go much further than that though. but a very good idea indeed! So how about it, European SPWAW fanz?

P.S. I have helped to setup meetings before here in Holland. So if we do it here, I am willing to help in the organisation!

Status: offline 		Good idea! I'm interested, if I only can make the ends meet, financially. :)

As for locations, I'd really like to see Normandy, Holland and the Ardennes. Since the Ardennes sets the location for both major GE offensives in the west, it'd be interesting to see what it's like.

As for timeframe, 2005 sounds good to me. Then I can still dream about going stateside for 2004. :D

(the major uncertainty here is that I'm heading back to University now in September, which makes me without paychecks. My employer company is kind enough though to grant me the break though, so I'm not technically out of job).

And maybe Normandy and Saumur the following year.

But I think we should coordinate the european and the US SP:WAW-Cons, so people who are interested in both could visit them with some time between them. So the wallet has some chance to refill ;).

It was remaned Volgograd in 1961... but I think there's a petition up for renaming it Stalingrad, due to it's significant historical value. Btw, it was called Tsaritsyn before Stalin came about. :)

I wouldn't even know how to get there, but I suspect domestic flights from Moscow or S:t Petersburg is one/the only option.

One of the sadest most depressing places ive went

Good history and good people...just hopelessly poor and runied by years of communism

Ah, didn't get that one. :p

I had half a plan of visiting S:t Petersburg this summer, from here it's not much different from going to Stockholm or Helsinki. Except that it's in Russia, ofcourse. Anyway, those plans have come to nothing.

I had a dorm neighbour a few years ago who worked summers at our embassy in Moscow. He had about the same thing to say as you about Russia.
