Re: [Fsfe-uk] Europatent lobby

I am thinking of attending both days.

I have been working out travel options for staying both days. The 
ryanair option looks interesting, although the beginning of the day will 
be missed. Here are some other options:


The Eurostar options as I see them are:
Leaving on 6th, Returning on 8th. 2 nights stay. Accom £120 ticket £199
Leaving on 3rd returning on 8th. 5 Nights stay. Accom £300 ticket £59

Car sharing option:
Leaving by car at 01:40 (Lewisham) on 7th, catching 03:30 eurotunnel 
from folkestone, with car for £59 return. To arrive in Calais 5:05am 
local time arriving in Brussels 7:30 local time. Travelling cost incl 
fuel, tickets and wear & tear £120 return split between driver and 
passengers, paid to driver. If 4 people in the car, travelling cost £30 
each. Accomodation around £60. Returning on the evening of 8th.

I might drive, although my car is small. It would be better if someone 
with a bigger car offers. We can possibly share the driving chore. The 
journey would provide an interesting opportunity to discuss.
