EGC 2009
The European Go Congress of 2009 will be held in the city of Groningen in the Netherlands, organized by the Groningen Go Club
The Netherlands is an important Go-playing country in Europe with many enthusiastic Go players, and Groningen currently has a blooming Go club.
The congress will (in all probability) be held in the Martini Plaza, a large and modern congress building. Accomodation will be available in all price classes:
- Camping in the city park, near the congress building (ca. 5 Euro per night)
- Cheap hotels, youth hostels etcetera, mostly around the city center (1.5-3 km away, 15-25 Euros a night)
- A four star hotel right across the congress center, with a nice price reduction (40 Euros a night)
- Possibly there will be multi-person sleeping places in converted farms (10 Euros per person per night, mostly useful for groups)
We're hoping for a large participation, and we will be trying to make it the best congress ever!
14 nov 2005: We have recently found an international student house, providing accomodation to foreign exchange students, at some 300m from the venue. We hope we can provide cheap accommodation closeby there.
