EUCO 2008 London

I’m busy packing today, and soon you will be to (if you’re not in London already!!).

It can sometimes be tricky to know what to pack for EUCO, especially if it’s your first time. To help you we’ve put together a list of things you need to pack.

You can find the list on the EUCO 2008 website:
http://www.euco2008.com/index.php?cat=content&page=cms&CatID=128

From some of the enquiries we’ve received in the last few days, I wanted to point out the following important stuff:

• Towels - if you’re staying at one of our hostels, bring a towel
• Gala Ball - this is a black tie event, read more about Black Tie (for men) on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_tie), the corresponding dress code for women is Evening Gown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evening_gown) - or even possibly Cocktail Dress (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_dress)

Last but not least, you need to pack your EUCO 2008 E-Ticket (log in to your profile and print it off today) and Photo ID (like a passport, national ID card or photo drivers licence).

Hi All,

Well it only seemed like yesterday when I was with Lisa and the team in Bursa Turkey for the REM Meeting in January 2007 and now we have 14 Days 9 Hours to go till the start of EUCO 2008 LONDON.

I’m Martin Coates, EUCO Conference Crew Member and I will be based at The Globetrotter Inn and I have been a Rotaractor for nearly two years…I was there at the Council Meeting in 2006 when the Bid was suggested for EUCO 2008 LONDON and have seen EUCO 2008 LONDON go from strength to strength.

This is the biggest Rotaract Event I have been involved in and I cannot wait for the challenge of EUCO 2008 LONDON

My role will be helping out wherever I can during the week so please do come and say hello..However my main role will be Transport Manager making sure you all get to your hostels after the Gala Ball at The Novotel.

And why is my name Aston Martin Martin…all will be revealed at EUCO 2008 LONDON

See you all there.

Best Wishes

Martin.
