[debate-l] Youth Forum newsletter - rip options

[Ioana Cionea]

Hey everyone!

If you're a bit like us you save all the newsletters until  the last day and then attempt to read them on the plane or not at all. Don't do  that with this one! 

While debate theory is greatly important, we found  out our fondest Forum memories are mainly of what we had done outside of our  morning and afternoon labs. :-) That's why you should read this introductory  letter from the Czech-It-Out team a.k.a. the Free Time Committee. Here you'll  find out what wonderful options we've prepared for you to fill the little free  time you'll have at the Forum and we ask you for some brief information in  return.

What do we offer?
Lots of goodies. We're preparing a mix of  stuff proven by history (such as the traditional Country Expo night) and a bunch  of new things where you'll be the guinea pigs trying them for the first time.  :-)

Now, the important stuff: There are two days for which you have to  make a decision before you come to the Forum -- this is to enable us to make all  the necessary arrangements so that you don't experience any organizational  glitches on the D-day. On both of these days, you'll get outside the Forum site  and go on a trip. 

July 27: PRAGUE (also called "the golden city") is  where we'll go watch the final round of the Karl Popper Championships. Good news  from us is that you'll have about half a day after the finals to spend as you  like. The options include: 
(1) Sightseeing Tour
(2) Treasure Hunt
(3)  Prague Zoo
(4) Free time (none of the above)
 
Please read the attached  file to find out more about each of these options. 

August 1: DAY TRIPS.  We've prepared six exciting options. In short, these are:
(1) Telč or bust! -  Bike trip (EUR 10) 
(2) Waterworld - Aquapark (EUR 10)
(3) Touch of  History - Telč, Dačice and Slavonice (EUR 15)
(4) Magic Caves - Moravian  Karst (EUR 20)
(5) Prague I (organized, EUR 50)
(6) Prague II (on your  own, EUR 10) 
Please read the attached file to find more details about these  trips (including pictures). The prices may slightly differ - depending on the  number of registrants. We will charge the cost of the trips in cash in either  Euros or USDs or local currency.

What should you do?
After you decide  what you want to do on days allocated for trips, send an e-mail to Katechka ( katechka at centrum.cz) with your name(s) and  the options selected on or before July 16. Please note that if you forget to  send this e-mail, we will sign you up for option #4 on July 27th  and for option  #6 on August 1st. 

Who are we?
Almost every Czech volunteer will be  helping out with free time activities at the Forum, but if you want to complain,  you should turn either to Kovo or to Kubo who will be primarily responsible for  this part of Forum. 
Kovo (24, real name Tomas Kovarik, debated in Russia  '01) can fall asleep anywhere at anytime and ignores alarm clocks of all types  and models. Apart from that, he studies computer science and works at SUN  Microsystems, both in Prague. 
Kubo (23, real name Kubo Macak, debated in  Russia '01, coached in Slovenia '03, trained in Estonia '04) takes pride in  being familiar with almost all recent romantic comedy movies on the market. In  real life, he's a law graduate from Prague preparing to move to Oxford for  postgrad studies. 

That's all for now! We'll be looking forward to seeing  you at the Forum! 

Kovo & Kubo
on behalf of the Czech-It-Out  Team a.k.a. the Free Time Committee
