so we have given this long enough and Edinburgh has the most votes and Brussels second . my concern with Edinburgh is cost of hotels , they are coming out  2 - 3 times more expensive than Brussels.
The travelling costs for most people would be the same for both destinations. Brussels would work out cheapest option. but overall costs would be higher for  Edinburgh . 
  i have set dates for June in this comparison

i have phoned round a couple of hotels and there is not much availability in Edinburgh at the lower priced hotels in June ( and i don't mean cheap 1 or  2 star ) .
if we can come up with a date and hotel choices for both locations we  decide from there .

Hell ya lesbians would be cool! Oh wait, I see you said Lisbon.

How about Lisbon?

How about Birdsville, QLD Australia it's only 1,593 Km up the road from me just a 25 hour drive all it has is a PUB what more do you need 
 

i'm all good for anywhere. so count me in
Guess I'll be bringing the Patron

Oh by the way one eye guy, it's the XI EUROPE meet-up. So we have it in Europe. You're welcome to come, but it ain't gonna be in Atlanta (which, apart from everything else, is a mosquito infested toaster oven of a hellscape six months out of the year and thus not ideal for meet-ups even on it's own continent, I must hasten to add.)
 

They're not all cheap, I thought Edd was mental so I looked up Stuttgart - Bratislava, and I have to say, holy fucking sheepshaggers. Four digit airfare is not on my budget, I just bought a car.
Now, it is possible that july is the wrong time to book flights for. So let's grab some dates, make a list of the big cities, and draw up who can go when and what cities are OK with them, taking only serious suggestions (i.e. reachable by air and can get around with short rides on public transport, not the Ardennes where everything is a million hours away from civilization and once you get in the middle of nowhere you have to bring your own car, or Truro, which as far as I can work out would be cheaper to move it to us, rather than the other way round).
We picked July before because it's just before the big school vacations (lower prices for travel and hotel) and the weahter tends to be many nice.
Shall we begin by picking which weekends in June/July/August would be doable for everyone?
 

we have to make it so people can travel cheaply . its £153 return from Heathrow 

£2700 return from Heathrow 

How about Budapest suppose to be nice .
Just a thought 

I say Prague lots of history.

How about Budapest suppose to be nice .
Just a thought 

I know its not been said and a place full of history and I know is really really cheap and has good place for food and night outs is
Bratislava - Slovakia
has good transport to a load of other places train wise/airport/tram system round the city
 

My main concern this year is going to be budget and date. Which city is less worrying provided we get a lot of others coming.
I liked Prague two decades ago, maybe it's still fun today. Brussels is OK too, good food certainly.
We do want something to do other than pubs - Not everyone is content to roll into a pub at 11 AM; some walkies, bus tours or balloon rides are deffo welcome. Prague and Brussels should be fine in that regard, as would I'm sure Budapest and Riga. Truro... not so much. Nor for that matter a few of the other tiny little shitholes towns mentioned. Let's do try and keep it to a place with like, an airport, a train station and a lot of choice in things to do.

This is looking good

Where are the good old times  when we get in and wait    
I can remember that we had  admins and players  to wait until the server was running  i miss that now   

Amsterdam is great aswell, but.... Cant have all the idiots spending half the weekend in coffeeshops......

I say Prague lots of history.
