Naimie get together in Vienna

Posted by: Franz K on 27 October 2008

I thought Id start a new thread on this theme trying to sort out a few issues:

Timing?: Spring/early summer 2009
for example June (9)10-14(15) (the 11th being a holiday over here)

How long: Extended Weekend? (thursday through monday?)

Accommodation: Ideal would be a hotel somewhere near the center of the city. One hotel for all?

Who is going to come, how many?

Local Team: Who else of us is living in Vienna?
Involvement of local dealer? (longtone)

Ideas for cultural program:
Musikverein, Konzerthaus, Opera, Museums, Heurigen, (Bus)tour outside of Vienna..

Cheers

Franz

PS: Very exciting, would love if this is going to fly Smile

Hi Franz,

Both myself and my girlfriend are fine with either date but we are very happy to go with the 20/21st if that is better.

Hi Franz,

Just checked - June 20/21 are perfect as they line up with Swedish midsummer, so they would be our preferred dates too.

Gentlemen!

Since we are approaching the end of 2008 - Christmas presents should be all unpacked by now and installed:-), lets go for the whole hog with our plans for a get together in early summer 2009.

As losely planned so far, 3rd to 4th weekends in June look promising. Thats between June 19th and 29th. Nevertheless, we should make an efford to narrow that down even further!

With repect to accomodation -for all who do not know where to stay already, may I suggest
the following hotel: http://www.mercure.com/de/hotel-5357-mercure-grand-hote...ier-wien/index.shtml.

Its reasonably priced, very close to the center of the city, with perfect accomodations to inner city public trasportation and to the airport. Besides, its also close to where I live Smile As of now, there should be still plenty of rooms availably but are expected to get booked quickly.

Similarly, remember that plane tickets should be booked quite in advance to avoid unavailablility and price increases.

A list again of all forum members who anounced interest so far:

Ken
Derek Wright?
Cymbiosis
Don Philips
Geoff
Edouard?
Manni
Lark
ROTF?
baz100
Polarbear?
Craig

LOCALS:
Franz
Michael
Jodl
Thomas

Many kind regards

Franz



Hello Franz,

how many Naimies plan to come to Vienna?

The list above is very impressive, but the date of the meeting is drawing nearer and it is very silent here at the moment.

Hi Franz,


no further news since Feb, probably the Vienna meeting is cancelled. I retract my promise to come.

Best wishes

Dear Mani

As for me, its still on, however, there is the big " official" Naim get together in Salisbury in August, so I am not sure it does make too much sence now.

Hello Franz,

that is right, two Naimie meetings in one year are too much.

Maybe you should try later again...
