----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSEMBLY '93 THE SECOND PHASE - BE THERE OR BE ELSEWHERE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSEMBLY '93 - THE SECOND PHASE (30 July - 01 August) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MOVEMENT - ACCESSION - COMPLEX FUTURE CREW AGGRESSION EXTEND ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last year the Assembly was a success, the weather was perfect and we had a great time. The party, tripling the previous visitor record in Finland, was with no doubt the biggest party in Finnish history. This year we have made many improvements and we hope that we will have as good weather as we had last year and to see you all there again. The Assembly '93 is arranged by The Movement, Accession and Complex (Amiga), Future Crew (PC), Aggression (ST) and Extend (C64). The partyplace is a school in Kerava (Finland) and the party starts at 10:00 in the morning on Friday the 30th of July and ends at 18:00 on Sunday the 1st of August. HOW TO GET THERE: ----------------- First of all, coming to Finland from outside Scandinavia should be quite simple if you do like this: Come by car or along with one of the bustrips (cheapest ways) and first drive to Fredrikshavn or Copenhagen in Danmark and take the short boat trip to Sweden. Then drive to Stockholm and take another (day/night) boat to Helsinki or Turku (Finland) and drive to Kerava. When you return, do the opposite and everything will do well. When we organized the bus- trip (2 busses) from Finland to The Party II in Danmark, the price went as down as to about 90USD per one person. So, the more people you have in your bus, the cheaper all the travelling costs should be. Read more about the bustrips from the BUSTRIPS.TXT file. Kerava is located 20 kilometers outside Helsinki and only 10 km from Helsinki airport. The partyplace is called 'Nikkarin yl„aste' and the address is Keskikatu 3. If you don't come by car it is easiest to first get to Helsinki and then take the local train K, R, H, N or T and get off at Kerava. The train trip takes about 30 mins. From the station in Kerava it is a 400 meter walk to the partyplace. Maps will be at the train-station. If you come by car then first get to Helsinki and drive out from Helsinki to the North-East on Lahti-highway (E75). Get off the highway at Kerava and make a left turn from the next intersection. Then it's just to follow the signs we have put up and to go with the flow. If you want maps then contact us. If you come by plane then just take a taxi to the partyplace. It will cost you about 70 FIM. If you can't afford that, then call our Assembly hotline during the party and tell us your location and we will pick you up. We can also provide some kind of taxi-service for foreigners free of charge. So just phone us in advance and tell us when and where you will be in Finland. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPETITIONS ------------ As always on these kind of meetings, there will be some compos. We'll have the traditional Demo-, Gfx-, Music-, R-Time- and Intro- competitions and some other compos like Frisbee-, Soccer- and Disk- throwing competitions (Last year a C-64 guy set the World Record to 72.539m, nearly disqualified for not having an Anarchy demo on the disk). This year the disk must contain a Kefrens demo according to the recent changes in rules. The competitors have to be present at the party in order to attend the competitions and to receive the possible prizes. The voting system we will use will be introduced at the party. The competitions are shown on a big screen and we have a powerful 4 channel Surround Sound System. We would like to thank Suomen Hi-Fi Klubi Oy Ltd. for the sound equipment and Pro A/V Oy Ltd. for the great Sony data projector.
