RFF Euromeet 2016 in Trieste, Italy

[jane7l]

trieste has a very nice airport, also venice is not really far away to fly-in.
when we fly from slovenia, ljubljana is usually useless as too small, we fly from venice or trieste or zagreb...
just don't tell me heidelberg or gdansk is a better, closer and easier destination to go to 🙂

He's right, you can fly direct from Prague to Venice... 😀

What I found out so far is that it takes roughly 3 hours to go from Venice airport to Trieste (bus and train). I hope I can optimize this.

I think you can get the time down to 2:24, which is still too long compared to driving (1:36 according to Google Maps)...

if somebody can (wants to) fly through ljubljana airport, i can pick you up there... 🙂

Venice to Trieste is a pita via public transport, involves a bus to mestre and then a slow train to Trieste. By far it is much quicker with a car. Trieste airport is still not so close to Trieste. I typically fly to Venice and hire a car, but I head up to basovizza to the synchrotron. I hear ljubljana is a better option from within Europe, but I'm normally coming via Dubai.
Unfortunately I won't be in Trieste at that time, but it's one of my favourite places in Europe. Just small enough and just big enough, a little bit Italian, a little Hungarian. A real mixing pot.

Reminder: The poll for choosing a weekend is still open, but I will close it at the end of this week.

 

[jane7l]

Georg, looks like you will have to cancel other plans for 14./15. may, as this is the time frame we are leaning to 🙂

 

[kossi008]

I know, it is not the most convenient weekend for me, but I will manage.

Everybody: this is the last reminder: Doodle poll closes Friday

Robert, this is great. It's always nice to meet new people.

I just looked up the unofficial rules. A primary participant (= forum member) may bring a rangefinder camera (digital or film) or any other film camera. The rules for guests are not so strict..... 😀

Just kidding, there are no rules.

The Rff meet in Prague 2013 was interesting, because it was almost exclusively film.

We took part in the 2010 Florence meeting and in the Paris meeting not sure which year, I guess 2007!
In that time my only rf was a Bessa R which I still use beside ...🙂
See you in a short time!

On the photo I recognize a few faces from the Istanbul Meeting in 2012. Sadly after 2012 the number of participants dropped. Maybe this year a few more people will come compared to the last two years.

Really hope I can be there.
