2014 European Continental Championships

by Nicholas Yankovec, Second Edition Brand Manager

5th April 2014

London, the home of the European Continental Championships 2014, July 26th and 27th. The local player base is excited to welcome players from all over Europe (and maybe even further afield) to join us for what is bound to be an amazing weekend of events.

We will be hosting the Continental Championships at:

Holiday Inn Regent’s Park
Carburton Street
London
W1W 5EE

This is at the heart of London, and the perfect place to relax, explore, and turn this event into a vacation for the whole family.

I am negotiating a special room rate for the hotel for our players, and will also make a list of other nearby hotels, including some budget accommodation. I will post more about this in the coming weeks.

Check out some of the photos of the meeting rooms and break out space we will be using on the link above.

No Trek events, I’m afraid, but I shall be in London with my 5 year old niece, and would love to act as tour guide, show you some sights, and visit one or two of our amazing free museums. If you’re interested, then just let me know.
