Dutch Spotters Convention/Aviation Fair
Sat 29 Nov 2008 10.00 - 16.00
Evenementencentrum Merwestein, Nieuwegein near Utrecht.
The Belgian (Antwerpen) and German (Emmerich) borders are only one hour's drive over the motorways away!
Free entrance, free parking! Easily reached by public transport!
On Saturday 29 November 2008 Airnieuws Nederland and Dutch Aviation
Society will organise an aviation convention/aviation fair again. This
gathering of aviation enthusiasts first took place in 1996 and is known as
the Dutch Spotters Convention (DSC). For years it has been the place in
the Netherlands to trade, sell or exchange all kinds of aviation related
collectables.
In the past years this aviation fair usually took place at Rotterdam
Airport. Now the big sports hall of Merwestein in Nieuwegein near Utrecht
( http://www.merwestein.nl/ ) will be the scene of dozens of booths with
books, magazines, slides, photos, videos, DVDs/CDs, postcards, aircraft
models and many other aviation related collectables. Also other aviation
societies, spotting groups and aviation companies will be present.
Access to the aviation convention is free, as is parking. The fair will
last from 10.00 to 16.00 hours. Stands can be booked for € 20, - per
table. Reserve your table now! Experience shows these get fully booked-up rather early...

Spread the word...!
Address:
Evenementencomplex Merwestein,
Merweplein 1, 3432 GN, Nieuwegein
“Evenementencomplex Merwestein” can easily be reached by Public Transport
from Utrecht Central Railway Station (“Utrecht Centraal Station”). If you can read Dutch/Niederlandisch, then try http://www.merwestein.nl/Routebeschrijving .
Just take the high-speed “Sneltram ST” with destination “Nieuwegein-Zuid” for a 20-minute-journey. Step off at tram-stop “Nieuwegein Merwestein”.
Walk down the stairs on the “greenparks side”. Go right and pass under the viaduct. Immediately turn right again and walk along the sports field and then go straight on. Eventually you’ll see the sports complex on your
right-hand side.
Entrance to the complex is on the other side, walk around the complex on
the left hand side. All this will take you about five minutes from tram-stop to entrance.
By car: If you can read Dutch see
http://www.merwestein.nl/Routebeschrijving . If not...
Nieuwegein is about one hours’ drive from both the Belgian and German
border. As there are numerous ways to get to this sports complex by
various motorways, please use an online routeplanner and type in both your departing address and “Merweplein 1, Nieuwegein” or postal code “3432 GN”.
Once again: parking is free!
The main reason to hold the DSC in Nieuwegein in november is that the
convention is part of a whole day out for the aviation enthusiast. In the
afternoon the National Dutch Spotters Championships 2008 (NSK) will be
held in an adjacent room. At night you can watch and listen to some very
interesting lectures, including one by a former F-105 Thunderchief "Wild
Weasel" pilot. For more information see

In the meantime you can enjoy a cup of coffee and/or a sandwich the
restaurant while talking with friends and fellow enthusiasts .
