Dear Go friends,

 

As we are fast approaching the EGC2022 starting day we are happy to announce that preparations are going pretty well and we have a lot of cool surprises in store for you.  Towards the end of June, we think that we will have most of the info regarding main venue environment setup and a detailed calendar of cultural and relaxing activities.  

 

Most of our work focuses on providing fun activities to get engaged into once you finished your tournament games.

Establishing meeting points where you can meet and socialize with other congress participants is vital for achieving the traditional congress atmosphere.

 

We want to stick closely to our chosen values: Go, friendship and nature and aim for an open air experience that takes full advantage of the excellent mid- summer temperature in Vatra Dornei, usually around 25-30 degrees, in big contrast to big cities melting under excessive heat.

 

Based on our work in progress as well as feedback received from participants there are some practical announcements that need your attention:

 

Accommodation

We still have a few rooms left in our best congress locations: Casa Bucovineana, Vila Vinatorul and Vila Seva.  Each comes with strong points that makes them an attractive choice.

 

Casa Bucovineana is cheap and very practical, right next to the main venue and a hub of congress activities.

Vila Vanatorul has a great environment in the middle of nature, really pleasant to be there.

Vila Seva is classy with best breakfast in town and a small swimming pool.

First come, first served, for details contact us.

 

Travel

We added a new section shuttle bus. We are getting a lot of requests regarding shuttle bus pick up, after collecting all needed info we will announce detailed trip schedule and price.

 

Entry fees

A lot of people registered without paying the entry fee yet. This is greatly hindering our organization efforts.

Please note that 30th June is the last deadline before the entry fee value changes. Generally speaking, if you want us to prepare a quality congress your entry fee contribution is a key factor.

 

Covid related aspects  

As far as Romania is concerned there are no Covid related aspects.

 

Solidarity for Ukraine

Most of us recovered after the initial shock and are going ahead with our lives but for our friends from Ukraine the drama continues. It’s not too late to show that you care.

 

EGC friend

Due to sharp increase in gasoline prices our offer for airport pick up will be limited to shuttle bus seats that cost up to 30 euro for Sente EGC friends and 70 euro for Honte EGC friends. This is because small car pick up may become more expensive than the donation itself.

 

General congress features

Personalized congress bus for quick troop deployment, best AGM ever, calendar of cultural and relaxation activities (to be announced soon), tents for pro teachers, trips and hiking, carefully chosen meeting points, big screen transmissions, lots of hay, blankets, raincoats, board games and football, evening and late night plan for party people, weather manipulation device to avoid heavy raining and a special remote place for those who want to get bored.

 

Stay tuned for future updates!
