18th of Nov. 2012 Plans for QL 2013

It seems that the article in the last issue of QL Today has triggered something for next year.

The venue this time will be Hamburg ... a nice city and worth visiting, if you have not been there yet. And if you have, worth another visit too... as the address will be "Reeperbahn 1" (famous!) - the entry to St. Pauli.

Rainer Wolkwitz offered conference rooms for the meeting for up to 200 people in den "Tanzenden Türmen"/STRABAG ... and he says it will have a beautiful view over Hamburg and its port (only 10 minutes walking distance from there). The towers are quite interesting to look at, especially if you stay in front of them. Here, for example, are some pictures.

We thought that the date for the meeting should avoid the holiday season and major events in Hamburg, to increase chances for reasonable hotel rates.
We found that the following dates are probably the best ones, chances for good weather, chances for less traffic, chances for affordable hotels:
a) Weekend 18th/19th of May
b) Weekend 25th/26th of May
c) Weekend 1st/2nd of June
d) Weekend 31st of August/1st of September

So, we should start working out which date suites most of you best, and if you prefer the Saturday or the Sunday to be the "meeting" date.
Assuming, that a visit to Hamburg will not just be for a QL meeting,
other activities like siteseeing or shopping can easily be placed around the
meeting. A note for visitors from outside Germany: shops are closed on Sunday,
but there are loads of other things to do, e.g. like visiting the harbour and various ships, or cruise through the harbour, musicals, Zoo Hagenbeck, all sorts of museums or the famous Miniatur Wunderland (the world's largest miniature train exhibition).

Please let us know if there is any interest, and what would be your preferred date and day ... please send an email to SMSQ@J-M-S.com, subject "QL2013"
and the letters for your TWO preferred dates (a,b,c,d) and whether you prefer Saturday or Sunday, or no preference.

Also, help would be most welcome - Rainer said he does not have too much time to care for other things like hotels. He can provide technical equipment which could be required for talks or demonstrations (hint, hint!), like a large screen or projector and internet, of course.

Please reply a.s.a.p. so that we can start working on the details. For dates in May, only half a year is left, which is 2 issues of QL Today in between for a poll of the preferred date and advertising for the event.
We may not be able to fill the room with 200 people, but after having had several meetings in the South, this is very North and a chance to meet people we have not seen for many years!

And - Hamburg is worth visiting and seeing anyway!
