hereby invites you to the biggest

event of the summer...


R E N D E Z V O U S  '9 3





Where and when ?

This year the party will be held in
Kristiansand, Norway's 5th largest
town, and tourist-city number one !
To be more exact the party will be
arranged in Badminton Senteret, a
sports-hall located right outside
Kristiansand centrum.



The party will start on


   
|30 July at 13:00



and will end on


   
|1 August at 16:00




What will it cost ?

We will charge each one of you for
130 NOK at the entrance when you
arrive. Then you'll be "marked" so
that we can see whether you have
payed or not. Unfortunately, we do
only accept payment in NOK. So make
sure to change some money into this
currency before arriving at the
party-place.



It's also a possibility to save 
some of this amount. If you pay in
advance, we will only charge you
for 100 NOK. You have to use our
bank-giro for this service. Our
number is



|6325 05 60739,



but make sure to pay at least 14
days before the party starts.



Remember to bring your receipt from
the bank, so that we can check that
you've really payed. This one must
be shown at the entrance.



(Note that this service is for
Norwegians only.) 



How do you get there ?

Let us first of all locate 
Kristiansand at the map. The town
is situated right at the bottom of
Norway.



If you come from Central Europe,
you can simply go to Hirsthals in
Northern Denmark, and then take the
ferry directly to Kristiansand. The
ferry has 4 departures every day,
so it won't be THAT difficult to
find one that fits. The company
that runs these ferries is caled
Color Line.



For those of you who come from
Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden or
Finland), there goes trains
directly to Kristiansand centrum.



If you drive by car, you simly find
E18 and follow this one to
Kristiansand. If you come from
EAST, drive until you reach a
roundabout. Here you must take
left, and then follow the signs
saying eiter "Badminton Senteret"
or "Rendezvous". If you come from
WEST, follow E18 through centrum,
through a tunnel and then over a
river. At the end of the bridge,
follow the sign to "Lund", and then
the signs to the party-place.



For the rich ones among you, there
is also an airport outside
Kristiansand, and a bus goes from
it to Centrum. Remember to ask the
bus-driver to stop at the bus-stop
near Badminton Senteret.



From centrum there goes buses quite
often in the direction of the 
party-place. Simply ask the bus-
driver to stop at the bus-stop near
Badminton Senteret to get off at
the right place.



The following buses can be taken to
get to Badminton Senteret: (But
make sure that it goes the right
way! (-: )



01, 02, 03, 04, 06, 07, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 35, 36.



During the days of the party, we
will mark the way from the bus-stop
to the hall, and also the way
to drive, if you go by car.



What about competitions ?

There will be the usual
competitions at the party
(Graphics, music and demo).



We will also repeat the success 
from last year... The soccer-
competition. We have got two play-
grounds for this one, so we hope 
it'll be a great success.



A "wheel of fortune" competiton
will also be arranged, featuring
some great prizes.



Also look out for other surprise
competitions. (Those who come, will
see.)




Rules for the competitions:



- The demos have to run on any Amiga
500 with any RAM configuration
over 1 Mb, but OUGHT TO work on an
A4000 or an A1200. You choose 
which machine to run the demo on, 
either A500, A1200 or A4000.

PT-format file.

The town, Kristiansand, has also a
lot to offer those of you who don't
want to sit infront of your 
computer all day.

far away from the hall, so make
sure to bring your swimming

How do I behave ?

We have put up the following rules:



1) Smoking is only allowed outside
the building. (Mr. Man will of
course be allowed to wear his
smoking inside, too!!!)



2) Alcohol is strictly forbidden.
If we yet catch someone with
alcohol, it will of course be 
consfiscated.



3) You will of course have to pay
for everything you destroy or 
damage.



4) Those who can't behave properly 
will be thrown out of the 
building, and we won't hesitate
to hand real trouble-makers over
to the police.



Wires will of course be layed out, 
but it would be great if you 
brought your own SAFE ones.
