Posted on behalf of the Dutch Variable Star Association (thanks to Erwin van Ballegoij of the Dutch Variable Star Association for getting in touch):
In April 2008 the BAA and the AAVSO organized a very successful AAVSO Spring Meeting in Cambridge, UK. It was a joy to meet variable star observers from all over world. Observers whom you knew from discussion groups like this one, but never met in person. Combined with a very interesting program, it was a delight to be there. It is a pity we don't have meetings like this in Europe more often...
But wait! The Dutch Variable Star Association celebrates this year it's 50th Anniversary. And we would like to celebrate this with variable star observers from Europe and beyond. Therefore we organize an
European Variable Star Meeting from Friday October 22 until Sunday October 24, 2010. The meeting will take place at the university museum in the beautiful historic town of Groningen, a town in the northern part of the Netherlands. We will offer an interesting program, including presentations by professional astronomers and an excursion. Several professional astronomers already confirmed their presence. Arne Henden, director of the AAVSO, is one of them.
The registration fee is only €50 Euros and includes a reception, two lunches, one dinner and an excursion. We can offer you affordable accommodation as well. There is no reason not to come. So we hope to see you all! You can find all the information at our website.
