GFFsummit Update

The forums are very quiet

The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF form is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.

GFFsummit 06

GFF Summit People,

We're well into August now, and the number of participants showing interest in the GFF Summit seems to have leveled out somewhere around the number 26. We have people from several countries, and I'm sure we will have a great trip.

Now I have started thinking about the practical arrangements.

Svend Hansen - one of the Danes joining in - has looked into a place to stay, and one of his friends has offered us a hostel at a very good price. I think it's a very worthy alternative to a camping site.

The offer has to be accepted within 10 days or so, and because of this I want to check with you guys what you think.

The hostel is Odense Danhostel, centrally placed on Fyn, and a good starting point for most of the destinations we can fancy as well as being close to Odense center (the largest city on the island). See more on [url=http://www.odense-danhostel.dk/]their home page here[/url].

We get two nights (Friday-Saturday + Saturday-Sunday) with breakfast both mornings and a two-course dinner Saturday night including half a bottle of wine per person for DKK 520.- a head (70 Euros or about 47 UK£). This is probably as inexpensive as we can get it and even quite close to what a camp-solution will cost. The hostel also offers packed lunches at DKK 50, but we also have access to a kitchen for self-catering.

The price is for 3 rooms sleeping 8 persons each.

People who want to come earlier or stay longer or have their own rooms can probably arrange that seperately, but the good price is for 24 persons for two nights.

We can always settle all the practical details as we get closer, but all I want right now is an answer to the following questions:

1) Are you still in on the trip as a whole?
2) Are you in on the above offer?
3) Where are you from and how do you expect to get here?

The last question is my first attempt at coordinating the logistics. We have a couple of people who may need a ride.

I will set up a forum on GFF or some mailing list to handle all communication between us, but for now, just reply to this mail, and I will sum up.

Please relply as soon as possible here or on the mail to me.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
