>Dear shogi friends,

>I am writing this e-mail from Ockero, Sweden, where the ESC/WOSC will

>be played from August 7 until August 10. I want to make some statements

>concerning the event:

>Congratulations to everyone who has registered! The islands are

>wonderful in the Swedish summer. If there is a paradise on Earth, it

>has to be around here somewhere. There is still a chance to register

>until the end of the personal registration at 4 p.m., August 7.

>The name of the bus stop at Nimbus is Ockero Farjelage.

>All over the islands I have spread our ESC/WOSC poster. Hopefully,

>there will be a lot of spectators coming. The local newspaper will be

>there, and hopefully also other Swedish media.

>There is good space in the venue for shogi at separate boards, spread

>out all over the place which has a high ceiling. It was not hot indoors

>even on this hot summer day. There will be several places for analysis

>at the entrance. We will have an Internet connection at the venue, and

>there is a possibility to lock in valuable things like portable

>computers.

>There are still some beds left at the youth hostel. I strongly

>recommend everyone to stay at that fresh and modern facility. Not

>having to commute every day is a big advantage. Do not forget to bring

>bedwear and towel! Do not bring an old sleeping bag. This place is

>really clean and comfortable. Everyone who has made a booking of youth

>hostel, meals, or hotel via the Swedish Shogi Federation or to Albrecht

>are hereby confirmed about their bookings.

>Do not forget to bring your camera and your swim equipment. There will

>be several good occasions for swimming in the ocean, just at the rocks

>behind Nimbus, or at any of the sand beaches at the islands, which are

>close, since the ferry to the other islands leaves 100 m from Nimbus.

>You can find basic information about the ESC/WOSC at

>http://www.shogi.net/fesa

>and the Heeffer participants page at
