Title: Winter Cup: poll for the players outside of France
Post by MD_Neo on 11/16/16 at 04:12:37

Hey there ;)

We'll be organizing our annual SMK Winter Cup in north of France (location still to be confirmed, usually it takes place in the 'Normandie' area) .
The dates would be: from Friday the 13th January (evening) to Sunday the 15th January (evening).

Schedule: various SMK tournaments, booze, other (video)games.

We would love to welcome some of you, guys outside of France, for this event if you're interested :D
Please vote and post (so we can see who voted what), this poll is all yours ;) It will help us determine how big of a location we need to rent. The all-included (location of the 'venue', food, drinks/booze) fees are usually around 50 euros per person for the whole weekend.

PS: this SMK T-shirt may be one of the prizes to earn at this Winter Cup ::)

Id be interested in coming, though id need a more concrete location. If its near Caen or Le Havre (or anywhere on or near the north coast which is drivable) id consider driving and catching a car ferry. If its nearer Paris, id obviously catch the Eurostar.

Id also not wanna be the only non French speaker!

Any chance on some more info dude?

edit: Just checked ferry prices, and it works out a lot more than the eurostar. So if I did come it would be 100% on the eurostar (which is £58 currently for a return trip). So hopefully the venue is easy to get to from Paris by train.

^same, would need to be at a location I could easily get to/from Paris to catch train (be it by train or some other way to get to/from Paris). How do the people from the Paris area usually get there?

Looking at my calendar I shouldn't be working that friday (only work every other friday) so wouldn't need to use up any annual leave to go there.

Would be up for the smk/food/other games, not sure about the booze part though but i may have 1 or 2 beers (don't think I've drank any alcohol since cdm, though i do use some red wine in cooking from time to time).

Well, the exact location is not defined yet. It usually takes place around 50km from Rouen. But Baptiste (Baly) used to be the organizor and he seems to be super busy this year. So I may have to organize it myself if he can't. I'll be in touch with him and get back to you in a few days with more details. ;)

I would love to participate but I'm heading back to the US next week and won't be doing any more traveling for the next several months :/

I really hate that I'm going to miss it but on the other hand I'm extremely happy to be going back home  [smiley=roll.gif]

Sorry guys, we couldn't book the housing for the Winter Cup earlier, Bab and I were super busy... :-/
Now it's done though. ;)

The Winter Cup 2017 will take place in Saint Cyr-du-Bailleul, from 13th to 15th January.
We rent a Normandy Longhouse, separated in 2 parts: Finch and Jay. The link between the Finches and the Jays is internal on the ground floor, there is an opening between the two kitchens.
This housing sleep up to 18 people in beds (maybe 2 more in the couches, but I can't guarantee they are comfortable or big enough). So please let us know asap if you are 100% in ;)

The nearest train station is Flers, which is at 1 hour-drive from the venue.
For those who come from far (like Raphael, the UK guys, etc.), we could pick you up there (in one go, if possible...). Otherwise, the driving option is advised.
Chris: the Frenchmen from Strasbourg (Banana Master, Ours, and JDR) told me they can drive with you if you are interested in this ;) Lemme know and I'll get you in touch with them.

Roll on Winter Cup 2017 ! 8-)

This is nice. I'll try to come in a couple years. It's great that it's in January instead of during the Christmas season.
