22nd - 24th July European Championships 2005

do you have room for the arena, it would make my life a hell of a lot easier !!! :):)

john

No, but I think we could probaly fit Pete, Stu, and the rest of the crew in the back with the robots if that would help!! :proud:

And of course theres room for 16 more on top. Youre in danger of getting John arrested for smuggling people OUT of the country and banged up for good when we come back home :proud:

Some people might be worried because there are no new postings about how the organisation for the event is progressing. Were silent because were concentrating on getting the job done and really have no new messages or announcements to make for the moment.

Aside from that, something that I do want to know for safety reasons is who has a valid First Aid certificate and might be willing to be called upon in order to assist when needed, please send me a private message if you do. So far we have one Dutch lady (Carlijn) and one Belgian (me).
These persons will be allowed access to my First Aid kit for any injuries, however small they may be.

at least one of the rr crew will be present as a fully qual, first aider.

John

probably need a fully qual, first aider for fixing my bot´s , also by RR ?

Spectators can order their tickets now. Prices are: ‚11 per person per day or ‚25 per person total event. Pay the right amount per bank on account number 42 89 85 270 (ABN-bank, Netherlands) to DJM Enneking, naming the number of wanted tickets, and name and address (so we can send them home to you). For international orders it is cheaper to use these codes: BIC: ABN AN 2A, IBAN: 0 42 89 85 270 (for information on how to use these numbers, please contact your local bank).

Roboteers that have not yet entered can do so by sending an e-mail to euro2005.decarpentier.com.

Roboteers will be camping (if they choose so) at Camping Het Amsterdamse Bos (http://www.campingamsterdamsebos.comwww.campingamsterdamsebos.com).

Apart from the European Robot Games 2005 there will also take place a LAN-party (see http://www.game-extreme.nlwww.game-extreme.nl for more info or entering the competition) and ABC Events (http://www.abc-events.bewww.abc-events.be ) will set up a car-tuning and motor sports event.

Ladies and Gentlemen.
Just a quick reminder to everyone planing to attend the championships. Please remember that you should hold a valid E111 certificate for emergency medical treatment in Europe.
Any certificates that were issued prior to 01/01/05 are NO LONGER VALID.
You can obtain a new certificate from your local Post Office.(ask for E111 application form CM1)
You may also wish to carry travel insurance in addition to the E111. Also dont forget to inform your car insurance company that you are travelling in Europe and if necessary obtain a Green Card.
Please remember that in The Netherlands it is compulsory to carry a set of spare bulbs for your car in addition to a warning triangle.
There are also very stiff penalties for being caught using a mobile phone while driving!!

Guys

Please be aware that an E111 form my not be used anymore (I am not sure about england but definately Ireland and a few other countries now do not use them). Instead there is a card which people obtain which is the equivelent but it lasts for 10 years.

If this information does not apply to either the Uk o the Netherlands please feel free to deleat this post and I appologise, however I thought it wise to tell you all what is going on in parts of europe.

Regards
Ian

the European Health Insurance Card will replace the E111 in 2005. If you tick the appropriate box on the E111 application form you do not need to apply separately for this, as the details that you have provided will be used to issue you with one automatically later in the year, prior to the expiry of your E111.

This does not change the fact that any certificates issued prior to 01/01/05 are NO LONGER VALID as posted above.
