• EuroForth 2024

    From Stephen Pelc@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 2 13:16:44 2024
    EuroForth 2024 is closing registrations soon. We are still eager
    to get more attendees, as Janet and Bill put a lot of work into the
    planning of the conference, and there are plenty of rooms left.

    Please re-think your vacations and other plans: Pyramids,
    Colosseum, Eiffel-Tower, etc. are all things that will be around
    for a few more centuries. EuroForth on the other hand is
    happening now, and is gonna tickle your brain so much more!

    So come and join us in New Castle Upon Tyne / UK

    40th EuroForth 2024

    https://euro.theforth.net/

    Newcastle Upon Tyne, 27.-29. September 2024.
    The conference will be preceded by the Forth
    standards meeting which starts on September, 25th.

    This years EuroForth will be held in the vibrant city of Newcastle
    upon Tyne. We will be situated in the dramatic post industrial
    landsape of the quayside, adjacent to the Baltic Art Gallery (a
    re-purposed flour mill) and the futuristic Sage music venue.
    The Millenium Footbrige leads across the river to the Newcastle
    Quayside, where we can find an assortment of international
    restaraunts.

    For partners who have time to explore the town, there is an
    electric bus service up to the Georgian heart of Newcastle with
    its monument of Earl Grey, the prime minister who managed
    to find time, between drinking cups of tea, to oversee the
    passage of the Great Reform Act and the Abolition of Slavery Act.
    Nearby are the Laing Art Gallery, the Theatre Royal, and the
    historic Grainger Market. Right by Grey's Monument, the Eldon
    Square Shopping Centre houses the famous Newcastle
    department store Fenwicks, in addition to John Lewis and
    Marks and Spencer. Newcastle is within easy reach of the
    coast and countryside. Jesmond Dene Park offers a beautiful
    wooded valley in the heart of town.

    Newcastle is a fine city with wonderful people.

    For partners who have time to explore the town, there is an
    electric bus service up to the Georgian heart of Newcastle with
    The Metro can take you further afield
    its monument of Earl Grey, the prime minister who managed
    to find time, between drinking cups of tea, to oversee the
    passage of the Great Reform Act and the Abolition of Slavery Act.
    Nearby are the Laing Art Gallery, the Theatre Royal, and the

    Newcastle is a fine city with wonderful people.

    It also still has a few wonderful pubs (e.g. the Bridge https://whatpub.com/pubs/TYN/3885/bridge-hotel-newcastle-upon-tyne
    ), though a lot of the locals in Newcastle are more often to be seen
    drinking a bottle of 'Newkie Broon'(now brewed in Sunderland- don't
    talk about it), and are generally friendly yet incomprehensible
    - "Whay ay mun!" = yes. Touring megapubs (aka Circuit Drinking) in a
    T-shirt in December is also a favourite occupation.
    If you want to be sung at loudly just mention the Blaydon races.

    PS there is a university. And a football team (also rugby).
