Flat again?

Petr,

we, the status Marshalls (Dominik, Peter and I), are not very pleased to read that this year's event will take place on the same venues as last year.

Maybe you were not able to change it - that's tough luck but we acutally had exchanged e-mails, in which we clearly stated what the requirements for granting a main status for Policka are.

I sent you the e-mail that we had sent to Josef as a PM. We sent it December 12, 2007.


representing the status marshalls,

Sam Gordon and Paul Price are coming - we hope it will not rain this time :-)

We liked Prague http://www.flickr.com/photos/39089904@N ... 683325545/

Our times are tight - will there be a bus or do we need to rent a car or can we share a ride?
Is it far from Prague airport?

London Gatwick (South) To Prague
flight 5495; arr. Fri 08 Aug 21:10

Prague To London Gatwick (South)

All right, I'm getting to booking my flight. When will the shuttle from Prague leave?

I can be in Prague on August 8 either at 12:05 or at 16:20, preferably 16:20.


EDIT: How's the venue? Did you change it? Is the special going to be dual line too?

Shuttle from Prague? That's fantastic. I was still trying to figure that part of the trip out.

What are the details on the shuttle?

Can I Paypal my entry?

Any opinions on lodging in Policka? Where is everyone staying?

We are arriving in Prague on the 5th and exploring the city. Any suggestions?

I can't f&#%in' wait!

Any Euros coming to Hood River or Morro Bay?

Lodging in Policka is no problem (apart from some language isssues, but the locals that speak english will help you out) There are many pensions you can stay for a good price. Also food is rich and not expensive at all.

I would really appreciate if someone could post the scheduled departure of the shuttle as soon as possible.

Allright, I just found another good offer, so I'll be in Prague at 16:15 on August 8th.


Paul, if there is no Shuttle, I'd appreciate if I could join you renting a car or so...

Sorry guys, it's me again. Same question for the way back to Prague. When will there be a shuttle back to Prague?

Could you post some information about this?

I'm having my eyes laid on a flight that leaves on Monday at 12:50 from Prague airport....


Quick reply would be appreciated.

Paul Price is en route to both! He's good fun, just don't go drinking with him the night before, it doesn't seem to faze him the next day, but it may finish you...

Does anyone ever check this forum?

I was hoping to get some insider advice from some locals. I am looking forward to some traffic here as the race gets closer

Martin, Thanks for the warning.

Anyone else... We'll be skating all over on Wednesday and Thursday, in and around Portland and Hood River. Anyone interested can get in touch

Confused?

by Skip Marcotte
Is there another forum where this race is discussed? It doesn't appear that anyone involved with this event is answering any questions. The only response I've seen here is from Ramon.

Is it still going to happen? Should we make other plans?

I'm confused...

Hi skip

I think (hope :D ) the event will happen
but the czech people doesn t seem to come often on this forum.

you can try to send an email at : choze[AT]truckfest[DOT]cz

Merci Guillaume,

I appreciate the advice. That would explain a lot.

We are coming. We have tix and a room in Prague. No turning back now.

We haven't made arrangements in Policka yet either. I am still hoping for some insight from racers that have been there before. I can't wait to see this beautiful country!

Are you going to Amsterdam this year? Have you been there to race before?

Thanx for your response

same situation for us : never been in Policka before... we will arrive from Gothenburg, spend a few days in Prague, and try to take this mysterious shuttle to policka.

We are also looking for accomodation in Policka!

Then back to Pragues on monday (shuttle again) to take a flight to Paris and drive to Amsterdam.

:D

Accommodation in Policka is no problem. You can book it once you're there. The shuttle should leave from the airport. Last year it worked flawlessly. Apart from not checking the forum very often, the organisation is very guest friendly.

Accommodation and shuttle

Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 11:56 pm
by Sam Gordon
Dammit if Louis is in and Pelle is in, then I'm in.

Please book Sam Gordon and the ubiquitous Paul Price for accommodation on Friday the 8th and Saturday 9th August. And book us on the shuttle too.

We're looking into the posibility of hiring a car because of a return flight on the Sunday, so the shuttle request might change. As might the request for accommodation on Friday if we decide to take in a 'show' that evening. But that's all talk. Let's stick with the original booking for the moment.

Thankyou,

Sam

There is no problem to find accommodation in pension in Policka for the other competitors.

There are still free places in the shuttle.

Thanks for booking accommodation. It looks like UK skaters Sam Gordon and Paul Price will not require the shuttle service, but will need to know the location of the accommodation. I've checked lightly, but cannot see an address or website for where we are staying. Is there any information available?

Thankyou,

Sam
