Chores
A schedule will be made for chores, as the share the burden of caring for another. If you have any specific qualities or skills you'd like to share with us, please do so in your application.

Travel
By car:
From Breda: Follow the A58 until the exit to Dongenseweg (N260). Then turn left at Heibloemstraat and an immediate right to Galgeneind.
From Eindhoven: Follow the A58 and continue on the A65 until exit 3 (Tilburg Noord). Continue on to N261 which goes over into N260. Then turn right at Heibloemstraat and an immediate right to Galgeneind.

By public transport:
From Tilburg:
(Take a train to Tilburg Central Station.)
From Tilburg CS you take bus 327 direction Breda via Oosterhout. Ask the driver to drop you off at Heibloemstraat.
Their response can be; "OK." or "That's stop Groenvenseweg." or "That's Atlasstraat."
Either way, it's still a 2km walk from the drop off point.

Other
As with the previous 1-Day conference, there will be small cover charge (€ 30,-) in order to finance this event.
The entry fee will have to be paid in full before your application will be accepted.

However, you'll still have to bring your own bedlinnen (cover, sleeping bag, pillow), clothes, toiletries (toothbrush, shampoo, comb, etc.), games and alcoholic beverages.

I hope to see you all there!!
