Dear cmp members and friends, due to very bad weather forecast (maximum 12 degrees and raining), which got even worse in last days, we decided to cancel the canoe trip. This is sad, but perhaps better than to spend the weekend in wet clothes and cold weather. There were many people who signed out in the last moment and many people who told us that they would rather not go in this kind of weather. To the rest of you who were willing to fight these tough conditions we apologize. Since there was no deposit paid, it is highly probable you will get all your money back. We will inform you all as soon as we know. Let's hope for a better luck next time! With regards, Cenek Albl and Libor Wagner ============================= Dear colleagues and friends, the registration period (15.5.) for CMP Canoe Trip 2013 is over and the bus capacity (43) is completely full. However, there are still some people who would like to go (I know about two or three). So, if you have registered and know that you can't make it, please let us know. On the other hand, if there is more of you that would like to go and miss the registration we can try to order a bigger bus, so let us know as well. We would like to remind that three are still some of you that haven't payed the registration fee. Please do that as soon as possible. We will depart from Smichovske Nadrazi (http://goo.gl/maps/w4Txs) at 16:45, the bus is supposed to be there from 16:30. There is also option to borrow kayak instead of canoe. Let us know if you are interested. Note that, canoe is for two people and kayak for one. For more information please refer to the trip websitehttp://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/cmp/canoeing/voda2013/, in case of further questions do not hesitate to ask us by person or email. Sincerely, Libor Wagner, wagnelib@cmp.felk.cvu.cz (mailto:wagnelib@cmp.felk.cvu.cz) Čeněk Albl, alblcene@cmp.felk.cvut.cz (mailto:alblcene@cmp.felk.cvut.cz) ============================= Dear CMP PhD students, I have been organizing CMP canoe trips every year with the main aim to create an opportunity for CMP young members to spend some informal time together. When I talk to ex-CMP members after years, they sometime remember canoe trips more than other work related events. Having said that, I am a little uncomfortable when I look at the list of participants http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/cmp/canoeing/voda2013/participants.html We have ex-minister on the list but very little PhD students. Could you think of it? I am afraid that CMP friends could be quicker and take your places. We run on the principle first come, first served. The CMP canoe trip web page is http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/cmp/canoeing/voda2013/ Thanks ============================= Dear CMP members and CMP friends, We would like to invite you to this year's canoe trip. The river of choice is Vltava. As usually, we will depart from Prague on Friday May 31 in the late afternoon and arrive back to Prague on Sunday June 2 late afternoon or early evening. We will arrange transport both on the ground and the river, life jacket if requested and the place to stay overnight. It is up to you to bring the tent and other camping gear. You are also welcome to bring your partners and children. The plan is that we will camp near Cesky Krumlov on Friday. On Saturday, we will leave tents standing at the campsite. The bus will take us upstream to Vyssi Brod where canoes will be waiting on us. We will float back to the Cesky Krumlov. We can stop in Rozmberk and visit the castle (http://www.hrad-rozmberk.eu/en/). On Sunday we can decide, based on the weather and mood, how far downstream we can manage. The cost is estimated to be 1000 Kc per paddler. Children under six years are for free if they do not need an own seat in the bus. The number of participant is limited by the number of seats in the bus. So, do not hesitate with the registration, which you can make through the registration form (http://goo.gl/eLhyL). The registration will be open till May 15, 2013 The registration runs on the principle: first come, first served. For more information please refer to the trip website http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/cmp/canoeing/voda2013/, in case of further questions do not hesitate to ask us by person or email.
