Assembly, Finland.. Ring a bell ???

Well I thought so! - But when - where and how much ?
Skyhigh has the answer to all your_40questions right
here, and right now.

This invitation was spread within the PC-scene and
'converted' to the C64 by me, Biz Kid!!! - So far I have
not seen any invitations for the C64 scene so I guess
this one will be successfull. Ok read it, and enjoy it,
coz I took quite some time to type it.

--------------------------------------------

ASSEMBLY '95

HELSINKI, FINLAND, 10TH. - 13TH. AUGUST

You are now reading the pre-invitation file for the
Assembly '95. The information presented in this file
might not be final!

WHERE AND WHEN

Assembly '95 will be held in Finland's largest confe-
rence centrum, namely the Helsinki Fair Centre.
The Fair Centre is located in central Helsinki, about
two kilometers from the previous party place.

The party will start at 10:00 am on the 10th of August
(Thursday), and end 18:00 pm on the 13th of August
(Sunday).

The party place is very easy to find, if you take any
train from the Central Railway station and get off on
the next stop you will be able to see the building
complex.

HOW TO GET TO THE PARTYPLACE

You will either arrive by plane, by boat, by bus, by
train or by car. If you ar lucky enough to come by
car, you should be able to find the party place very
easily (see the maps). This year there will be enough
parking space for everybody, because there are no
European Track & Field championships taking place
and the Helsinki Fair Centre has one of the biggest
parking lots in the whole Helsinki! If you come by
plane and have lots of stuff with you, we would re-
commend to take a taxi, otherwise, you should come
by bus (cheaper). And if you come by boat (to Helsinki
harbour) and have lots of luggage, take the taxi, or
a tram or walk to the Central Railway station and
take any local train from there. Local bus tickets in
Finland vary from around $2 to $6 US. The taxi is of
course more expensive. For example to take a normal
taxi from the airport to the party place will cost one
person around $30 - $40 US. But if you take the Air-
port Taxi, it will be a lot cheaper (half the price)

COMPETITIONS

The organizers reserve the right 2 make any changes
to the competition rules, and to disqualify any entry
if it's not suitable to attend the competition for some
reason.

At least one of the competiting team has to be pre-
sent at the party place, and in the case of a solo
competition the competitor has to be present.

All competitors have to be present at the partyplace
in order to attend the competitions and to recieve
the possible prizes.

A jury composed of known scene people (maybe even
you( will select an amount of 15 entries in each com-
petition (to be shown on the big screen to the audi-
ence).

The sleeping hall is on the second floor and both of
the halls are sound proofs so your sleeping convien-

party area, so there is plenty of room for everybody

Yeah boy...

What a massive one, eh? Well I hope that this party
will be a real kicker. I probably won't be there as I
haven't got the dough to go. If I should be so lucky
to win money in Lotto you can be sure to find me,
otherwise I guess we will meet somewhere out in the
future.
