Europa Forum
The 57th Europa Forum will take place in Maastricht, Holland on 13th to 15th October 2011. It will be hosted by our colleagues in MD110 Holland at the Conference Centre MECC Maastricht and will follow the theme "Building Bridges".
Registration is only available on-line from a secure website via the official Forum Website. Registration fees are for Lion members (Delegate) €220.00, Accompanying Persons (Partner) €170.00 and Leos €65.00.
The nearest airport serviced by direct flights from the UK (Stanstead) is Eindhoven with onward travel by train to Maastricht (1 hour). I suspect that the better route for those in our District wishing to travel by public transport will be Eurostar to Brussels (2 hours) and onward by train to Maastricht with a total travel time of approximately 4 hours. Schedules for October are not currently available so I am unable to advise on timings or cost at this stage. The alternative is to travel by road. Driving distance is approximately 360 miles (approximate driving time 51/2 hours plus Channel crossing).
The hotel suggested for the MD105 party is the Novotel Maastricht however, present indications are that it is now full for the period of the Forum. An alternative suggestion is the Van der Valk Maastricht. Details can be obtained from Expedia.co.uk or similar Internet booking agents.
