FSWeekend 2011 [5-6 November, Lelystad]
Me and my wife (she will be in November any way) have made the arrangements already to be in Lelystad for FSWeekend. We'll be arriving on the 2nd and staying in Amsterdam for two days before moving to Lelystad, where we'll be based at the Airport Hotel. We expect to be leaving at noon on the 7th.
Anybody else thinking of coming? Who will be there from the UK group?

Hi Efe,
Not been for a couple of years but thinking about a re-visit this year, I expect Mr. S will be going and I need to buy David (fordgt) and Ralph (ralphw) a beer for their assistance.
Any of the other UK guys thinking of going?
Cheers all

My one and only time was 2008. Missed 2009 at the last minute and was in service during 2010.

Re: FSWeekend 2011 [4-5 November, Lelystad]
Me and the mrs will be there also, helping our friends from Revolution Simproducts.

I'll be there again. Does this years event clash with WorldFlight as it did last year? That may decide whether a few people come or not.

Hi Sean,
Can't find a definite set of dates for WorldFlight, John Davis has it as starting on Monday 7th ( http://www.747simulator.co.uk/page6.html ) but I have also seen it as starting on 6th (maybe due to global time differences....)
Cheers

I think it would be cheaper to claim your kind offer of a beer in this country :)
Thanks for the thought though - I may well go to Lelystad this year, having missed it last time

Re: FSWeekend 2011 [4-5 November, Lelystad]
Hi to all,
Last year was my first visit to FSweekend. I was excited to see many guys from here. Most probably I will be there this year too, with my wife and probably with my daughter too, just for a long weekend away from work, home and Athens....
I wish this year a Saturday night dinner is orgaised, so that we have the chance to meet all guys from mycockpit.org.
As far as accomodation, I prefer staying in Amsterdam, since I have a very good friend there and we get the chance to spend some time together. I will definately rent a car this year from the airport and return before checking in on Sunday. Last year I spent alot of cash on taxi, and I realised that it is easy to commute in Amsterdam, after all my iphone navigon app helped me alot last year, so it will do the same this year too.
Hope to see you there all
:)

Let's just say that the Dutch hospitality in that particular establishment could have been better.

Re: FSWeekend 2011 [4-5 November, Lelystad]
Hello!
As Steve has mentioned, I am coming along too (yey!)
Looking forward to seeing those of you I know and meeting those of you I do not know yet.
oh yes, and beer... looking forward to beer (Ian) and hopefully some new blog material as it really has been too long.
See you soon,

Re: FSWeekend 2011 [4-5 November, Lelystad]
Well, with all that beer it will be a heavy weekend:D Which already starts at Friday!
What I do like is that it appears that there will be some women as well. I think it will be nice for them to share their "sorrows" (more beer) for putting up with guys with a hobby like ours.
OK guys, let's start the count down.
