>>> EUROCADE 2012 <<< saturday 1 september 2012, Ridderkerk, The Netherlands

This is mostly aimed at European arcade collectors, but if anyone from anywhere else around the globe wants to come, they're more than welcome (even without cab ;))........

OK guys and girls, What do you say ? Can we do it again ? Will we have as many people and cabs there again ? Are you willing to do another nuts-trip again ?

Last december, when the year came to an end I was reflecting a bit on the year, of course Eurocade came up as one of the high points of 2011.
I also thought that September 2012 was still a pretty long time away and thought what the hell, why don't we just do it again....

So I asked around at the Eurocade 2011 crew, and all agreed to help me out with Eurocade 2012 !!!

Yes, the initial idea was to let Eurocade travel around Europe, but since there were no serious alternatives coming up AND since everything about Eurocade 2011 seemed to be very satisfying for everyone we thought, why not "same place, same time".

You can be assured that we have learned from the couple of things we can still improve on and will try and make Eurocade 2012 even better !!!!

SOOOOOOOOOO, take out your agenda and make a big reservation for september the first 2012 !!!! (better, cross out the entire weekend !!!!)

As last year, Eurocade is nothing without the visitors bringing a cab. I hope everyone who brought one last year (or two) can do it again, and those who didn't please do everything in your way to make it possible to bring one because this is THE essence of Eurocade: bring one cab, enjoy LOTS of cabs !

Based on the survey we did after Eurocade 2011, we decided that this year we will have a FIXED contribution price including everything because the vast majority of people indicated they preferred that.

Now we did some budgeting for 2012 and it turns out that the price per person will be €20 per person.

This covers the following:

- soft-drinks and low alcohol drinks during the entire day (we do expect and ask you to keep moderate and * * * * * * * * * won't allow excessive drinking)
- lunch including fresh rolls, hot soup and our famous Dutch hot snacks !
- at 18.00 sharp a fabulous buffet with various dishes !!
- a day of fun !!!!

From this we also finance:
- rental of the building
- electricity costs
- "dress up" costs of the arcade room
- all other costs

Last year we managed with the drinks but only because a lot of you guys were kind enough to bring trays of beer/lemonade etc.etc.
We kindly ask you to keep that up as we WON'T make the budget !

I know I can count on you !!!

Thanks !

Again, Eurocade is for YOU, BY YOU, without YOUR cab Eurocade is NOTHING. Only together we can make Eurocade 2012 a success like 2011 !!!

Please post here if you are willing to join in the fun, how many people you will bring (same rules as last year) and how many and what cabs !!!!
