Quote:It's a lot more than event for me, since I live in Svishtov. I think town will get packed with people. That's nice!
TRT, could you please let us know if this event actually occurs as scheduled?
I understand there were some severe problems at the last minute making travel arrangements for the 130-person Italian contingent (apparently, as with us, the primary organizer neglected to make any reservations until it was effectively too late).
I would be interested in hearing if any of the other European groups experienced similar troubles, and how the organization for the whole event proceeds, particularly since Mr. Cologni (who started this thread trumpeting the fact that U.S. legions had been invited!) has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth.
Needless to say, there are many people on this side of the pond who feel very ill-used and cheated by this sequence of events. Although we are not out a great deal of money (aside from extra packing materials, suitcases and whatnot that were purchased to ship our gear), all of us had to make special arrangements with our work, family care, child care and whatnot, and had otherwise invested a great deal of time preparing for this event and looking forward to it with great anticipation.
To Mr. Cologni: Aren't we at least owed some kind of explanation for what has transpired?
