News about the future of our MidEurope Spring Meetup:

As you know, if we want to continue the meeting, we need to find a new location because the current one will unfortunately no longer be available in its current form next year. I have been looking around intensively over the last few months and have found something suitable very close to the old location. There we would have a large camping area (lawn) and a sports club building that we could use (sanitary facilities, kitchen, lecture room, etc.).

If we meet there, there would be a few changes. These are:

1. The participation fee per person will have to increase, as the location is significantly more expensive (it will be difficult to find another option as affordable as the one we had). Estimated at 50 euros per person for the weekend.

2. There will be a registration deadline by which members can register and pay the fee in advance – no refunds. Those who have done so are in. This is due, on the one hand, to the increased rental price for the location and, on the other hand, to the many, sometimes very last-minute and surprising cancellations or no-shows in the past. Ultimately, we want the meeting to take place for everyone who is looking forward to it and not have to be cancelled for financial reasons.

It's always been a great meetup in recent years and I am happy to organize this again and look forward to it. I'm aiming for a weekend in May again for the date, if the location is available then. Please consider whether you are still interested in the meetup and provide feedback here and share your thoughts on this. Please also take part in the short survey.

Thanks a lot,
Bjoern

Good news regarding the MidEurope Spring Meetup 2026

Thank you for your feedback and that there is so much interest in continuing the tradition of the MidEurope Spring Meetup.

I was at the potentially new location today. The place is really good and ticks all our requirements. So, I acted immediately and rented the location for next year.

Will post a Rally Point for next year´s Spring Meetup soon once I got the official confirmation (pending board approval of the club renting out the location).

Please safe the date 8th to 10th May 2026 and stay tuned.
