From: "Gerrit Schoenmaker" Location and lodging Reading the header you may wonder what makes this years Warpstock event so special compared to all other ones. Well, let me explain it to you! As a matter of fact each Warpstock conference is special and no one in particular. However the only thing which could be different to your experience is the location! This time the organization team has chosen a lovely Youth Hostel at Arnhem in Holland. You will find its cosy atmosphere only at your own home and last but not least it's situated in a very nice wooded environment. So, you will not be lost in space and look to no end for big concrete lecturerooms with very high ceilings this time. The purpose of all this is to give you as a participant the right facility to exchange knowledge and to get in touch with other (famous) OS/2 enthusiasts. If you never have been at a Warpstock event in the past, this year it's really worth a try. If you prefer to stay at the Youth Hostel during the event, you can check out availability and make an online booking request on http://www.njhc.nl/english/start.cfm?id=6 . The organization team has made some reservations in advance, so you have to check in as "Warpstock participant". Booking requests for a real Hotels in Arnhem and its surroundings can be made at http://www.bookings.nl . The money Another reason why you should come over to Holland and visit Warpstock Europe 2002 on the 8th - 10th November, is to save money. All prices are including a delicious lunch each day of your stay and an early registration for three days will be 30 Euro only!!! Furthermore there is already a bed & breakfast at the Hostel for 22 Euro (about 22 US dollars). You will find everything about the online registration and prices on the Warpstock Europe website http://warpstock.os2.org/en/registration and on http://shop.mensys.nl/catalogue/mns_WarpStockEurope2002.html All prices mentioned here are only relevant to online registration until 1 week prior to the event. Of course, you are allowed to check in at the registration desk on the event itself, however it will cost you more money. Actually, this means that all prices after the 1st of november will be raised with 5 Euro. This is quite clear if one considers for one thing that registration during the event takes a lot of time and for another that it would be very convenient to us to know the amount of visitors in advance. So, if you want the right lunch at the very right moment, do your Warpstock registration on line. Easy way to get there Holland is a very small country, so there is no need to travel so much. If you travel by: Plain - please go to Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol) and from there it's most convenient to travel by train to the city of Arnhem. You can get information about trains in Holland from http://www.ns.nl/domestic/index.cgi . You will arrive at the Arnhem Centralstation and from there take bus nr 3 to Alteveer/Burgers Zoo and leave the bus at "Rijnstaete Hospital" busstop. Finally, you have to walk a little wile, following the green NJHC "Alteveer" signs. Car - take the highway A12 towards Arnhem and leave the highway at exit nr. 26 to Arnhem-North. At first follow the signs to the so called "Burgers Zoo" and when you see those typical green NJHC signs along the road you have to follow them. On http://warpstock.os2.org you will find a nice picture of this sign. Train - from Germany and Swiss etc. you have many possibilities. One of them is to take a train to Cologne and from there the International ICE train to Amsterdam. Take a look at http://www.bahn.de for those special ICE trains to Amsterdam which stop in Arnhem too. If you are traveling from France or Belgium, the easiest way for you is to travel via Bruxelles, Rotterdam and Utrecht to Arnhem. The special "Thallys" train to Amsterdam, which stops in Rotterdam, is an excellent choice in that case. See you on Nov 8th - 10th at Warpstock Europe 2002 at Arnhem, The Netherlands!
