                           (30th July - 1st 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 some 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 party-
place is a school in Kerava 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.

Kerava is located 20 kilometers
outside Helsinki and only 10 km from
Helsinki airport.  The party-place is
called "Nikkarin yläaste" 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 party-place.  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 its 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 party-place.  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 you are in Finland.


       C O M P E T I T I O N S

As always on these kind of meetings,
there will be some competitions.
We'll have the traditional Demo-, Gfx-,
Music-, R-Time- and Intro-competitions
and some other competitions 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 change in the
rules.

The competitions are shown on a big
screen and we have a powerful Surround
Sound System.
