I was thinking about the EU fest and would like to gauge a rough idea of locations. I've not got permission from anyone to do this so this can be closed if it breaches rules Netherlands - Amsterdam Netherlands - Eindhoven Netherlands - Enschede (near Jaysus) Denmark - Copenhagen Sweden - Stockholm (near Cosmic) England - London (near Cheese, and myself) England - Reading (near Edd) England - Maidstone (near Elmer) England - Bournemouth Italy - Rome (near diggy) Italy - Milan Germany - Berlin Ireland - Dublin Norway - Oslo Who would like to go where. Reason for southern UK this time is because it was northern UK last time. If you guys could pick a 1st choice and a 2nd choice, that would be great and I can compile a spreadsheet Thanks Edited October 28, 2016 by dudebroman Awards

That's not clever, that's just selfish idiocy. Nobody wants to go to Buttcrackaroorah with it's 2 terrible pubs and choice of not one but two kebab shops plus a Burger King someone forgot to close. Parties of 20+ need space, stuff to do during the day, everything in walking distance from the hotel if possible, and lots of stops on our evening down the pubs. Do let's try to pick a city with a little thought to - nearby airports - large selection of places to go eaties and drinkies - decent priced hotels There are no countries in western Europe where you have a serious risk that the hotel staff do not speak English, so that is not a factor. What is a factor is that tiny towns esp in the Netherlands may have a handful of restaurants, all very expensive, which is going to ruffle feathers especially with the budgetarily handicapped. Enschede in particular doesn't look that clever a choice when you have people from anywhere else coming over: The UK is very affordable right now (Thanks Brexiteers! You're a cheap country now ) and prices for food, drinks and rooms are high in the Netherlands. I know a bunch of you live there, but it is pretty friggin' expensive. I'm not saying NL is a no-go, but I think we have to be honest and just admit the reason it's being suggested so much thus far is the people in this topic live there. Let's not completely forget about FR and DE because a big city in either of those might be a better choice than some of the suggestions seen so far. EDD THE DUCK, Barron and Hoth 3 Awards

But the cities mentioned in the Netherlands so far are all major cities, which means there should be plenty of bars and hotels to be found. The issue about cost is something else entirely. I do not really have a feeling for which countries/cities would be expensive, so I'll take your word on it.But I can easily see that NL is a fairly expensive country. As a possible suggestion that I would like to throw out there there is Gent in Belgium. I recently spent a weekend there with a group of friend and I really liked the city.Not really sure about possibilities for hotels and such, but it is about 1 hour in a direct train connection from Brussels airport.
