Dutch Spotters Convention
18 April 2009 10.00 - 16.00 hrs Rotterdam Airport , only 100 km by motorway from Antwerpen!

On Saturday 18 April 2009 Airnieuws Nederland and Dutch Aviation Society will organise an aviation convention 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.

Like the previous years the aviation convention will be held in the terminal of Rotterdam Airport. In the airport building dozens of booths will be put up with books, magazines, videos, DVDs/CDs, slides, photos, postcards, aircraft models and many other aviation related collectables. Also other aviation societies and aviation companies will be present.

In addition - to be confirmed – bus tours over the apron and runway of the airport will be organised to show the visitor a view 'behind the scenes'. Meanwhile the airport restaurant is an excellent location to relax from all the activities and socialise with friends and fellow enthusiasts, enjoying a cup of coffee and/or a sandwich.

So there is much to do for aviation enthusiasts and therefore Rotterdam Airport, Airnieuws Nederland and Dutch Aviation Society invite everyone to come to Rotterdam Airport on Saturday 18 April 2009!

Rotterdam Airport can be reached by highway A13. Visitors of the convention will be offered free parking on parking lots P1 and P3 (long term parking). You can exchange your parking card for a free exit card at the Airnieuws booth. The offer does not apply to other parking lots. For driving directions see http://www.rotterdam-airport.nl. The airport can be reached by bus 33 and 50 from Rotterdam Central Station. Travelling time is about 20-25 minutes. Bus 41 can be used to reach the airport from Rotterdam-Noord train station. For more information and schedules, see http://www.rotterdam-airport.nl.

Admittance to the Dutch Spotters Convention is free! The convention is from 10.00 to 16.00 hours.

For bus 33's schedule, the most direct bus from Rotterdam Central Station to Rotterdam Airport, see
http://ret.nl/reizen-met-ret/dienstrege ... modality=B . There will be no difference between Saturday the 11th and Saturday the 18th of April.

Rotterdam Central Station is currently undergoing a HUGE renovation taking several years. See PDF-file
http://ret.nl/reizen-met-ret/kaarten-en ... c08v2.ashx for a recent map.

Bus 33 leaves from "AA".

To reach this busstop (no more than a sign on the pavement really...) you will have to walk along the "Groot Handelsgebouw".

Hope this helps!
