WHERE? WHEN? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We welcome You to the party of your dreams - the ASSEMBLY! This huge party is arranged by Rebels and Complex in Finland. The party will take place in a school in Kauniainen called 'Kasavuoren koulukeskus'. The conference will open at 1000 hours Friday the 24th of July 1992 and the doors will close Sunday the 26th at 1400 hours. We are sick and tired of the lousy arranged parties popping up around us and that's why we already have made a lot of arrangements for this party and we will keep arranging until the party is over. This party won't be another of those profit-making parties. At this party everything will be there for you. And this party will also be the first ever PC party of this size in Finland. PC freaks just can't miss this one! The party will with no doubt be one of the biggest and best parties in Finnish history. This is guaranteed by the organizers, Rebels, Complex, DataService and Grendel/Byterapers. (Amiga groups) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO GET THERE --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kauniainen is located 15 km from Helsinki and the easiest way to get there is to first get to Helsinki and then take the bus or train to Kauniainen. If you come by bus there are several busses going to Kauniainen but with bus number 261 (platform 351) you will get right in front of the partyplace. You just get off at 'Kasavuorentie 1' or 'Kasavuoren koulukeskus'. The bus-stop is 30 meters from the school building. The bus trip takes approx. 25 mins. If you come by train then take one of the local trains 'S', 'L', 'E' or 'U' from Helsinki to Kauniainen and then walk to the party- place from the trainstation. Maps will be available at the train station. The train trip takes approx. 15 mins. We (Future Crew) will send paper-invitations to the best PC groups around the world. If you don't get an invitation but still want to come, contact us or Rebels/Complex for further information. If you want to get picked up at the airport or somewhere else the Amiga organizers will be pleased to help you. Just inform them beforehand. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPETITIONS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always on these kind of meetings there will of course be some competitions.
