We're doing it again!
Saturday 8th August is the date, and you're all invited! Join the SLAY Radio staff around SLAY HQ, for a barbecue at Keillers Park in the daytime, and an evening of chatting, drinking and pool playing at nearby Kville Biljard, where there's a room booked just for the Gathering!

There's also an "unofficially official" get-together planned on the night before (Friday 7th) for those who can make it a day earlier.

In order for us to get a good guesstimate of numbers, please let us know if you intend to come along by giving your "vote" above!


We hope to see you there!
(or here, or ... erm... wherever)

Here's some useful information for those of you intending to go to the SLAY Radio Gathering held on Saturday August 8th 2009 (with unofficially official pre-Gathering drinkies on Friday 7th!). As ever, if you have any further queries or comments, please do not hesitate to e-mail us at - gathering [AT] slayradio.org!

More precise information will be given once we have an indication of how many people are coming, and which transport they will be using.

ACCOMODATION:

If you need somewhere to stay, here's our recommendations:

- Kville Hotel, which is at Kvilletorget, 50 meters away from the Biljard and 200 meters away from Keillers Park, and also the cheapest option. Talk amongst yourselves and try to share rooms for even cheaper options!

UPDATE: Seeing as that middle-aged woman with some weird name is in town, pretty much all the hotels seem to be occupied. The only option seems to be trying to find some floor space at some kind enough soul!

GETTING THERE:

Gothenburg has two airports; Gothenburg City Airport (at Säve) is the nearest and is host to Ryanair, the cheap airline, so that is your best option if you can use it. Bus and rail are, of course, also good options if you live in mainland Europe. Here are some useful links and options for you:

- Ryanair
Ryanair service London Stansted, Glasgow, Dublin and Frankfurt airports from their City Airport in Säve, just outside Gothenburg. There are regular buses from the airport to Gothenburg's Central Station (from which there is a 10 minute tram ride to Kville); or there is a fixed-price for taxi journeys from the airport to Kvilletorget (300 SEK; 32 EUR).

- SAS
SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) have regular flights to Landvetter, Gotheburg's International Airport. SAS are, obvioulsly, more expensive than RyanAir but you will get more options. Like City Airport, there are regular buses from Landvetter to Central Station, and a fixed-price taxi ride to Kvilletorget.

- www.sj.se (in English) SJ run the trains into Gothenburg Central Station, and is an alternative option for those of you in Sweden, Denmark or other serviced areas.

- SweBus Express
SweBus Express also run a number of buses in Sweden, Denmark and Norway (with links to Germany from Copenhagen), into Gotheburg's Nils Ericsson terminal (just next to the Central Station).

GETTING FROM CENTRAL STATION (NILS ERICSSON TERMINAL) TO KVILLE:

There is a tram service just across the road from the front of centralstationen called "Nordstaden". Just get on the Route 6 tram (heading towards Länsmangården) and travel three stops (the first taking you over the bridge) to Vågmästareplatsen. You will see the "KVILLETORGET" sign from the tram stop.
Also, there is the option to take bus number 17, heading towards Tuve, from the same stop. Again, Vågmästareplatsen is the stop you should get off at.


HERE'S A LITTLE ROUTE MAP TO TAKE YOU TO KVILLE BY TRAM:

Once at Vågmästareplatsen, use this map:
