(I republish an announcement by Marco Turra, meeting organizer; I'm not personally involved in organizing this meeting, even though I'm looking forward to it!)
The webpage is http://EAMsiena2008.esn.it and it now contains more up-to-date information, refer to it instead of the preliminary announcement below.
The hostel is booked for 35 people, plus some places in Marco's house. http://ostellionline.org/ostello.php?idostello=572

Sunday 1st June:

- Arrivederci
As you can see, after the analcoholic experience in France it's very clear and important that the ESN EVENT and the PALLOMERI SPIRIT will be for sure present! In Italy you don't have this problem!
The fee is 77 euro for 3 days 2 nights with: breakfast in the hostel, dinner at restaurant Gallo Nero, dinner-party in Marco's house, Chianti winetasting, bus tour on the tuscan hills and medieval villages.
Not included right now: lunches (we are waiting for an answer from the university, but otherwise there are sandwiches or pizza at 2-3 euro); transport back to the hostel on saturday night after the party, 5-7 euro taxi.
This is the basic programme, but if you want to stay longer in Siena, and don't go to Firenze, Roma or home we can organise another wine tour in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, which I'm doing for a living http://sienaholiday.com/BusTours.htm , San Gimignano, Val d'Orcia, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, Crete Senesi…and free hot spa!
How to arrive in Siena: airport of Pisa is the closest and also the cheapest: check http://www.zingarate.com/lowcost/scheda_e.php?id=20 this page to know the low cost companies which fly there. From the airport a train takes you to Siena for 7 euro in 2 hours, check http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/ferrovie/util/inglese.jsp
Otherwise from Milano, Roma or Bologna there is direct bus with www.sena.it that sometime costs 8 euro, but usually not during weekend. Anyway, it is often cheaper than the train.
Dead line to register: 20th april, or later if you want to stay in another hotel, but this will be much more expensive for sure: 30-50 euro extra.
Take Care
