dearest syrosians:as most of you probably already know, the unbroken tradition of the sworp syros reunion is still intact, because on november 28, 29 and 30 you are all invited to travel down to the low lands for the 2008 dutch reunion.
the party will take place at the same venue as the previous one in the netherlands (2004), which is the one in broek in waterland near amsterdam.
this mail is only to inform you on the basics, all other practical information can be found on our blogspot: http://syrosreunion2008.blogspot.com/
what are the basics?
the reunion place will be open from friday, 17:00 hours local time (that is kent & sussex time plus one, athens & galissas time minus one and more or less equal to copenhagen, antwerp, wuppertal, hamburg and bavarian times).
the cost for a full stay (bed, breakfast, meals on friday and saturday night, commerorative button plus unlimited use of toilet) is €55 (which is actually a fiver less than last time...).
if you decide to spend the night somewhere else, this will be cut to €30.
people who drop by announced or unannounced for saturday evening only, will be forced by our friendly staff to donate €10.
after last years’ bavarian all-included-concept we return tot the token system for drinks: €1,25 per token, which will buy you one beer, one glass of wine, one hot shot or one jägermeister; harder stuff will sell at 2 tokens (same prices as 2004).
smoking is still allowed in the living room of the house.
the house sleeps 32 to 36 people (in beds). the house itself can hold up to 70 people.
the theme of this year’s event is “THE PUZZLING REUNION?”, so things will revolve more or less around riddles, question marks, jigsaws with missing pieces, unbelievable stories, boggling minds, people or things getting lost, surprise arrivals or departures, inexplicable behaviour and rather strange games (so nothing new, really).
in the light of this, you are all urged to bring over at least one strange, unbelievable, inexplicable, surprizing, puzzling and/or riddling item to add to the general confusion.
and for the saturday night party, it would be nice if you wear something that makes others exclaim “i really don’t understand why she put thát on...”, “where on earth did he find thát...?”, “how did she possibly get into thát...?” or “i didn’t even know that qualified as clothing...”, so everything that makes up a questionable, riddling, confusing, bewildering ensemble.
the most important basic, though, is we need to know if you are planning to come over.
how can you let us know?
by going to the blogspot and posting a reaction to the “yes, we will be there”-announcement that is top of the blog.
just tell us who you are, if you want to book a bed in the house for one or two nights and anything else you feel obliged to mention.
we will include your reaction into the body text of the blog-announcement.
this way, everyone can see who has already sent in a reaction.
if this is for whatever reason impossible for you to do this, please feel free to send us an e-mail, postcard, text of voice mail and we will take it from there.
that’s it for now!
hope to see you in november and keep checking the blogspot for further practical information and announcements.
regards,
the 2008 sworp reunion committee:
john, michelle, ineke & albert (cro’s = chief reunion officers)
ronald (cbo = chief beverage officer)
erik (cmo = chief music officer)
bob (csndo = chief saturday night dinner officer)
