Eurostar seems to be the preferred choice. the £59.00 return option is available under multiple guises (see below);  however there's a limited (and shared) quota on each departure at that price;  After that it's £69.00, £79.00 ...

(The 10:43 on Friday seems to be £29.50, but returns on Sunday night at 17:56 or 20:25 are £49.50. I can't see anything later.)

The 10:42 on Friday seems to have gone up to £39.50 now, so you may as
well leave at 14:42. - Robot101

moray: I might fly too, from Edinburgh, like I did last year.

'''Sledge''': I'm considering driving from Cambridge; it's a
relatively short and easy trip, and with 4 in the car not too
expensive either (comparable to the train, at worst). It also lets me
take kit along too if that's useful. If you'd be interested add your
name here:

 * Sledge
 * Wookey (but decide soon, 'cos otherwise I want to get a ticket before they get extortionate)
 * Daniel Silverstone
 * Robert Kendrick

Well I mailed these people from Mind some time ago and they said me that the crash space is not available anymore. If I recall correctly this is because they have moved. Anyway don't count on this. Fabrice(11/01/05 fabrice@kde.nl)

nat: I'm probably flying from Bristol on Friday at about 9ish like the last 2 years.

moray: I might fly too, from Edinburgh, like I did last year.

Accomodation

Any ideas?

JD: Youth hostels about 15EUR a night. Conference hotel has been around 50GBP a night.

Riddell: KDE have booked http://www.laj.be/html/en/hostels/brel/aubergesbrel_en01.htm

Beer

Place to meet on Friday?

Paul Sladen: There's a semi-unorganised drink-fest IIRC. Not to be missed.

JD: usually drinks on the top floor of the Le Roi d'Espagne on the Grand Place. Can't miss it; it's the one with the stuffed horse. Probably go for food before.

jcm: Le Roi is the place to be on Friday night.
