This year sees our seventh, yes SEVENTH SLAY Radio Gathering and, as per tradition, it's being held on the first weekend of August!

Friday 5th August from 19:00: The Unofficially Official Pre-Gathering Gathering at Kville Biljard
Saturday 6th August at midday: Barbecue at Keillers Park (Weather permitting)
Saturday 6th August from 19:00: Pool Night at Kville Biljard

We're telling you now so that you have plenty of opportunity to find a hotel or hostel to stay at, or make arrangements to share a place with fellow SLAYers. Accomodation and How To Get Here tips are right below!

Here's a map of the surroundings, with hot spots nailed to the map:

ACCOMODATION:

HOTELS: Hotels.com has a great search engine for finding hotels near the location. The link we've given is for one room, two adults from Friday through Sunday. You can change the criteria from there.

HOSTELS: HostelWorld.com is a good place for hostels if you want something a little cheaper.

Also, DHR.com (formerly GTAHotels) has a good search engine. Again, the given criteria are one-room, two adults, Friday through Sunday.

Of course, you're more than welcome to search for your own bargains. Basically you want to be near to postal code 417 04, but many people choose to stay in town and just catch a bus/tram to the venue.

GETTING THERE:

Gothenburg has two airports; Gothenburg City Airport (at Säve) is the nearest and is host to Ryanair, the cheap airline, so that is your best option if you can use it. Bus and rail are, of course, also good options if you live in mainland Europe. Here are some useful links and options for you:

- Ryanair
Ryanair service London Stansted, Glasgow, Dublin and Frankfurt airports from their City Airport in Säve, just outside Gothenburg. There are regular buses from the airport to Gothenburg's Central Station (from which there is a 10 minute tram ride to Kville); or there is a fixed-price for taxi journeys from the airport to Kvilletorget (300 SEK; 32 EUR).

- SAS
SAS (Scandinavian Airlines) have regular flights to Landvetter, Gotheburg's International Airport. SAS are, obvioulsly, more expensive than RyanAir but you will get more options. Like City Airport, there are regular buses from Landvetter to Central Station, and a fixed-price taxi ride to Kvilletorget.

- www.sj.se (in English) SJ run the trains into Gothenburg Central Station, and is an alternative option for those of you in Sweden, Denmark or other serviced areas.

- SweBus Express
SweBus Express also run a number of buses in Sweden, Denmark and Norway (with links to Germany from Copenhagen), into Gotheburg's Nils Ericsson terminal (just next to the Central Station).

GETTING FROM CENTRAL STATION (NILS ERICSSON TERMINAL) TO KVILLE:

There is a tram service just across the road from the front of centralstationen called "Nordstaden". Just get on the Route 6 tram (heading towards Länsmangården) and travel three stops (the first taking you over the bridge) to Vågmästareplatsen. You will see the "KVILLETORGET" sign from the tram stop.
Also, there is the option to take bus number 17, heading towards Tuve, from the same stop. Again, Vågmästareplatsen is the stop you should get off at.
