Outline is a multiplatform demoscene party that will take place during Queen's day weekend in the south of Holland. The party will be a great opportunity to show your creative skills, have a beer with your friends and ofcourse we will provide enough space so you can use or show your hardware and software. Although Outline was originally an Atari oriented event, we are also welcoming like minded sceners using other platforms for creative purposes. ----------------------------- PARTY LOCATION AND FACILITIES ----------------------------- The location for Outline 2010 is: Kampeerboerderij "W'tjewel" Stokkelen 43 5521 ND Eersel The Netherlands http://www.wtjewel.nl/ Eersel is a average sized village in the south of Holland, near the Belgian border. The area around the partyplace is in agricultural use or forest. W'tjewel is a traditional farmhouse converted to a group accomodation. We are renting the entire facility for this party, as in previous years. There are toilets, showers and beds in the main building. Right outside the building is a huge terrace, nearby is a football field, a campsite and plenty parking spaces. The nearest busstop to the partyplace is called "Eersel Kerkstraat". Please use www.9292ov.nl to plan your journey there, then call us for a pickup (phone number will be published on our website shortly before the party). Ofcourse we will provide the usual food delivery options such as pizza, kebab, fries, etc, and you can also buy cool drinks for very reasonable prices at the party place. The main hall has suitable audio equipment, and a beamer setup with dedicated screen. There's a table and chair for every visitor, and some relaxing benches as well (how many will vary a lot depending on the number of visitors). We will provide a basic selection of cooled drinks, and those who visited PMP will be happy to hear there's a dedicated bar. Unfortunately we are lacking funds to dig a pond for the PMP duckies, but you can once again put up a tent or caravan outside the party place if you prefer that over the regular indoor sleeping area. ------- TICKETS ------- A ticket for the entire party (4 days and 3 nights) costs: - Presales 45 EURO - At the door 55 EURO A single day ticket (valid for 24 hours excluding the sleeping area) costs: - At the door 15 EURO PLEASE NOTICE: There are no discounts possible on the entry fees except those mentioned above. Presales tickets must be payed in advance. We would also like to stress that even though the party location is commercial, the organising team is working on a strictly non-profit base. Any profit the party will generate will flow directly into the competition prize fund, and any money left after the competitions will be donated to a worthy cause. For example, after Outline 2009 we donated the leftover pennies to Outline 2010. ---------------- ORDERING TICKETS ---------------- You can order tickets three ways: - By transferring the correct amount to the following bank account: Account holder: Peter van Rijn Account number: 8296429 Bank name: ING Bank, The Netherlands - By paying cash to Havoc or Skrebbel. - By PayPal. For credit card payments, please use: havoc (at) outlinedemoparty.nl Please add 3.4% + 0,35EUR to cover the PayPal fee. For PayPal to PayPal (fee-less) transfers, you can try: pvrijn (at) hotmail.com If you try to use the fee-less option, please keep in mind that we cannot possibly accept transfers that involve fees, because that would force us to upgrade our account- effectively rendering it useless for any further fee-less transfer. Thank you for your understanding. In all cases, please mention the names, nicks and e-mail adresses of the people you are buying tickets for. After receiving your payment, we will send you a confirmation of your reservation by e-mail. ---------- TRAVELLING ---------- By plane: The preferred airport for travelling to this party is Eindhoven Airport. When checking for flights to this airport, please make sure to check for the right dates- cheap carrier Ryanair is expanding it's schedule just before the party starts. Another recommendable option would be Amsterdam/Schiphol. Flights from nearly every major airport on the planet arrive there on a daily basis, and travelling from the airport to the partyplace is easy because of the excellent railway connections. A trainticket from Schiphol to the partyplace is ~18 Euro each way, or 11 Euro for Dutch students and people travelling along with them. Other airports within driving distance from the party place include Rotterdam, Maastricht, Dusseldorf, Weeze, Cologne and Gilze-Rijen. If you can get a flight to one of these airports for a lower price than you would pay for travelling to Eindhoven, the organisers can provide you with information on how to get from any of these airports to the partyplace. Contact us for details. Some indications of ticket costs we have received from various sources include:- Stockholm 430 SEK London 33 UKP Manchester 54 UKP Helsinki 175 EUR Bingen 30 EUR Marseille 98 EUR Geneva 235 CHF Berlin 58 EUR Oslo 118 EUR Emmerich 15 EUR Los Angeles 630 USD Kathmandu 644 EUR Melbourne 750 EUR Paramaribo 793 EUR Some of these prices were found on regular online booking systems, so there is a very good chance you will be able to find a better deal from a cheap vendor in your own country. Please contact the organisers if you need any assistance regarding flights to the party or extending your stay in the Netherlands. By train: Travel to railwaystation "Eindhoven Centraal", then take the bus to "Eersel Kerkstraat" as described in the section for bus travel. By bus: Call from busstop "Kerkstraat Eersel" to the number which will appear on our website a few days before the party starts. One of the organisers will come to pick you up. Please refer to http://www.9292ov.nl for an up to date timetable. By car: Get on the A67 Eindhoven-Antwerp vv. Take Exit 32 (Eersel), then follow the N284 in the direction Eersel/ Bergeijk. Go straight ahead on the first roundabout towards the N397, direction Bergeijk/Valkenswaard. On the next roundabout, take the first exit to the right, then immediatly turn into the "Hazenstraat" on the left (so do not drive along the petrol station). At the T-junction, turn to the left onto "Stokkelen". After about 1.2km, the party place ("W'tjewel") is on your right hand side (look for the tipi tents). ----------- PARTY RULES ----------- First of all, we would like to say we have a lot of confidence in the visitors we are inviting to this party. Some of the organisers have been going to demoscene parties for almost two decades, and in all those years the number of unacceptable incidents has been negligible. However, we feel that setting a few clear guidelines will help everyone to make the party even more enjoyable. - The organisers are very tolerant, but there are limits. Please treat other people and their property with due respect. Illegal and/or destructive behaviour will not be accepted and can lead to removal from the party. - No smoking in the main hall or sleeping area. Please step outside or use the reserved spaces as appointed by the organisation. Weather allowing, chairs and benches are allowed to be taken outside to the terrace. - Do not use electric waterboilers, microwaves, barbecues and other devices that could possibly endanger the stability of computer systems within the partyplace. Please contact the organisers before setting up such equipment. Thank you for your participation in making this party a success. ------------------- CONTACT INFORMATION ------------------- Mail address: Outline 2010 Peter van Rijn Alter Markt 5 DG 46446 Emmerich am Rhein Germany E-mail: orgas10@outlinedemoparty.nl Website: http://www.outlinedemoparty.nl IRC: #outlineorgas on IRCNet ----------- FINAL WORDS ----------- We hope this invitation text will provide you with a lot of useful information about attending our party.
