Bump . . .
Shall I try messaging everyone who has expressed an interest in Euromeets for the last few years, as I did last year? Five people is not much interest, although it's just the first few days of course.

Yes, maybe we need a wakeup call 😀
But I personally think it's better to have 10 people participating in the date and place discussion when those people are all coming, instead of 50 people setting a compromise for date and place and only 10 people are coming.

I'm very interested. Went to one in Paris in spring of 2007 and had a great time, and am now in Frankfurt so I can go pretty much anywhere. I am especially interested in former Yugoslavia (how about Croatia?) or Baltic states. But you're right, having a local host to show us the spots is a really good idea.

kind locals to guide us will probably be everywhere.
i love sarajevo but according to the recent clashes and riots bosnia is more suitable for the war photographers...
lisbon was high last year as well. never been there, maybe a good choice? but same here for baltic countries... lets just go and meet somewhere, it will be fun and nice anywhere.
anxiously waiting 🙂

I'm interested. Had a great time in Prague last year.
Just so you won't complain about no feedback... 😀
Where? Can't make up my mind, all of the suggested places sound really interesting, and I haven't been to any of them...

I know that I am not coming (would love to) - but would like to throw Valenica in the pool - I have been there few years ago for a wedding and had a chance to walk through the city. It has wonderful atmosphere and offers everything from narrow old streets to modern city of arts (looks great in the night).
Just FYI 🙂

Finally at home...
IMHO any "central" European country would make sense: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany (Berlin?), Austria (Salzburg?), Luxemburg, southern parts of Denmark, eastern parts of France (Strassbourg?), western parts of Poland...
Make it as central as possible and it will be easier for more to come.

I'd go for a central European town/country that can be reached easily and at a low cost. It should have cheap and abundant hotel options all across the spectrum. Good food a plus. It should have 'photo potential' and be easily navigated by public transportation. Has anyone mentioned Budapest?

I just sent a message to those who have expressed an interest over the last few years. My apologies if that got to those who have already participated in this thread - my patience with mailing list manipulation is limited, sorry.
It occurs to me that we are sure to find an interesting destination between us, but that a bigger limit on participation may be the weekend we choose for the trip. Are there any holidays/school-breaks/revolutions scheduled which we need to take in to account???

yes, let's focus on the date and fix it asap. choosing the destination will be easier i guess. maybe may/june is a good start (as lawrence stated)?
may 10/11 (not really good for me)
may 17/18 ideal
may 24/25 (no can do)
may 31/june 1 ideal
june 7/8 ideal
june 14/15?
...
lets gather some suggestions and see where this goes.
can't wait to meet again!

Not sure if it makes a difference, but the weekend of 31/5 - 1/6 will be a long holiday weekend for those countries where Ascension Day (29/5) is a public holiday. This might be good or bad, depending . . .
And most likely an early date, in the first half of April for example, is no longer possible as we are a few weeks later this year than last.

The problem with public holidays is that everything (tickets, accomodation) gets more expensive and more difficult to book with less choice. I'd prefer a regular weekend in April or May.

Thanks for the wake up call MartinP, really appreciate it.
However this year I'll go with some friends to visit one or more of the cities in Belgium and France commemorating WWI - planning to shoot the visits with some old 6x6 and 6x9 cams.
My first visit will be to the Belgium city of Ieper in May. Might be also an idea for fellow members here.
In order to get 'prepared' I'm currently reading The Sleepwalkers:

Ron, over the weekend of Hemelvaart (Ascension Day) there is a 110km walk around Ieper. I may be doing that again this year, depending on the dates for the Euromeet. Most weekends in May or June would be alright, with sufficient notice.
Indeed, a Belgian city might not be a bad destination for the Euromeet itself - Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges (too 'pretty'?), even Ieper (though not the 110km).
The Rencontres d'Arles is the second week of July this year, so probably too late, and too far from everywhere even if I do highly recommend a visit.
Budapest, Bucharest, Riga, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Maastricht, Gdansk, Hamburg, etc. etc.
