Anybody from Lernu going to the Brita Kongreso in Brighton 17 Apr - 19 Apr?

Grants available for junul(in)oj. Contact secretary@nojef.org. (on my PC the links through to NoJef on the EAB website don't seem to work properly - the text appears to have been written in invisible ink - you may be luckier)

I won't be going. One day, I might give one of these events a try. In the meantime, it would be great to see lots of pictures and video on youtube.

Browsing through the stats at Lernu, I was surprised to see some 27 Lernu registrants from Brighton, and 8 pages of Lernu registrants from London (very fast train service between London and Brighton).

I have suggested to an EAB contact that EAB might consider offering a one day pass for the congress - free, or at some nominal amount, payable on-site.

If you live in London or Brighton, (or somewhere else in the UK with good transport links to Brighton) would that be attractive?

Off-peak one day train travel (the congress occurs over a weekend) can be surprisingly cheap and there would be no overnight accommodation costs for a day visit.

The BK this year offers a 50% reduction in the registration fee for overseas visitors. Julia Hedoux, one of the organisers of this year's UK in Lilles will be one of the speakers. In view of both these facts, perhaps we will get more French visitors than usual - and who knows, from other countries as well.

Brits have it easy ... you can catch the train to almost any moderately-sized town in the country, and not require several days to do it.

Here in the US, trains are expensive, slow, and inconvenient. If you're like me and you don't own a car and you can't afford air travel - your mobility is badly limited.

Best of wishes to anyone who attends. I'll be on the other side of the pond providing moral support.
