I'd love to come to this event, however, I can't get the week off, and flying out to holland twice in the space of a week would cost me a lot (I've got the Antweight World Series in Eindhoven the weekend before :P)

Re: 24-25 april 2010 - FCC - Feathers, Raptors - Rijswijk (NL)

thank you. how big is the arena? also if it is full combat what will be on the roof? il have a look into the ferry situation. Is this a championship event?

Re: 24-25 april 2010 - FCC - Feathers, Raptors - Rijswijk (NL)

Inside it is 3.6x3.6x2 meters. The roof is HDPE, 5mm I think. It is the 3rd of 4 championship-events.

Only if you book before the 28th, so within 2 days. You can book for any date in the year, but the booking must be done before the 28th. Norfolkline sent an email about that.

At the moment both Seafrance & P&O have offers of £50 return. (Dover - Calais)

We are staying here...
Holiday Inn at Leiden, a very good hotel. We have used it several times in the past and can recomend it. (About 30 mins. from the venue.)

Would be a great weekend trip and I'd love to come but uni and money hinder things at the moment. Maybe another time
