Early-bird deadline 31st of March

    Important reminder: only one month left to enjoy the special
    early-birds rate of EUR 155,- (EUR 150,- with the discount code
    ?1STBORN?) for your HAR2009 tickets. After March 31st 2009, the price
    will increase to EUR 180,-. So stop delaying, no more procrastination,
    click on [1]this link to the ticket shop *NOW* and order your
    ticket(s) immediately!

    Some of the reasons why you should not wait any longer:
      * ?Van uitstel komt afstel?: Dutch idiom explicating that if you
        delay you will likely forget and end up paying the full price of
        EUR 180,- next month;
      * We need money to pay up-front for tents, equipment and more;
      * We might sell right out of tickets before you order yours;
      * It gives ease-of-mind, knowing that you have your ticket printed
        and ready for HAR2009;
      * Early-birds get an instant boost to their karma.

Sponsors

    We are happy to announce that a number of parties have been so kind to
    bestow upon HAR2009 some rather large sums of money, to make up the
    deficit between $ticket_income and $total_spendings. We are eternally
    thankful to the Internet4all foundation, Fox IT and Madison Gurkha for
    their enthousiasm and selfless support of this event. Meanwhile, a
    number of other parties are interested in chipping in. Negotiations are
    still underway, but the outlook is far from grim.

    Now, there is a downside: all of those that followed my advice to buy
    large quantities of tickets for trade on the highly lucrative black
    market will be disappointed to hear that thanks to these sponsors,
    ticket prices at the door will be lower than initially planned. Instead
    of EUR 250,-, the prices will more likely gravitate towards EUR 200,-.
    That is, if ticket pre-sales keep up at the current pace. To help keep
    up that pace, head over to [2]the ticket shop now and pre-order your
    tickets. We know the number of website visitors and announce mailing
    list subscribers exceed the number of sold tickets, so there are
    hundreds of people who did not buy a ticket yet!

HAR2009 field day for all

    De Paasheuvel, the location for HAR2009, is quite a popular destination
    for many a group-trip. Over the months more than once someone exclamed
    ?Hey, I know that terrain, I used to go there {on schooltrips, with the
    scouts, on team-building missions}!?. It seems at least half of the
    Dutch citizens has at some time spent a weekend or more in those
    cabins, bonding with their peers.

    To give the other half of the Dutch and all those foreign folks to whom
    De Paasheuvel is merely a myth the chance to acquaint themselves with
    the location, a tour of the terrain has been planned on april 18th
    2009. We will start at 12:00 (CET) with coffee and tea, and after a
    short introduction a guided tour is planned. If all goes well, the area
    will be vacated at 17:00 (CET) at the latest.

    If you are joining the tour, please indicate so on [3]the wiki page.
    Also, the wiki page is a great place to coordinate car-pools or
    ?[4]samenreiskorting?. If you are coming from far and do not mind a
    bit of luxury, [5]Hotel de Malle Jan (hotel the daft Jack) is right
    around the corner.
