Eurobash Debrief - 2010 Planning

(1/25) > >>

Midaski:
Soth and I have been having a few discussions trying to evaluate the two Eurobashes held so far.


Last year when the idea was suggested I was quietly sceptical about the usual internet enthusiasm and when we started looking at 15-20 all saying they would come I think a few of us went:
"Yeah so we'll see 10 if we're lucky"  :icon_wink:

So what happens - 17 turn up and we have a great weekend.

So fast forward a year and given the success of last year, no internet scepticism for me  :icon_rolleyes: - certainly everyone who came last year will want to come this year, plus all those who didn't come last year.and then some of the newer members seeing pics and hearing what went on .....well we'd probably have 25 or more.

So one big kick in the nuts later ............ what went wrong. :icon_question:

Don't get me wrong - I had a great time, and actually overall enjoyed it more than 2008, but it would have been even better with more members.

Differences:

2008:
Mid July
Two days - Sunday and Monday (a Belgium Holiday)
Cheap Campsite Accomodation in very small 4-man huts.
25-30minutes travelling between Campsite and Gaming CLub
Gaming mainly centered on W-E Marienburg Campaign


2009
Mid August
Three Days - Friday (Belgian Holiday) Saturday & Sunday
More expensive Hotel in centre of town
5 Minute walk to Gaming Club
Attempts at Might Empires style Campaign that struggled a bit to get everyone gaming at the same time.



Personally I really liked the three days, and the hotel which although dearer was excellent value, and the breakfast built iinto the price meant we didn't need any lunch.

 
The main thing Soth and I felt was the dates. Most no-shows seemed to revolve around other holiday activities.

So what do you guys think.

We are looking for comments and opinions from those who have attended, and those who considered attending, so other North American Bashers can butt out ............  :engel:

Von Breden:
I suggest next year the dates are posted in extremly big font on the homepage for the month prior to it. Yes, that'd be smart.

MrDWhitey:
More than a month I'd say.  :icon_mrgreen:

.......... and people would still not know when it was and try to turn up a day late .............  :engel:

We're more interested in holiday trends.

For examples:
In 2008 we guessed July was good because the Universities were on vacation, but maybe the normal schools weren't.

August can be the holiday month so family could override a 'boys weekend'

We're looking at why people did or didn't come, and honest answers not bullshit, so we can try and make next year as accessible as possible.

Fandir Nightshade:
Well as I will never ever even consider proposing that I might come to any sort of bashing or smashing with you guys. I would say from this year on I am done with studies, I have work and after half a year I also have access to vacation (first half year there is a no vacation bar so next year I will have around 45 days of holidays...hurray) so from my point everything is fine as it is and the trollards that didn´t come will come next year as the missed the time of their live.  :::cheers:::


By the way I "might" come 2010!  :::cheers:::
