Free entrance, free parking! Easily reached by public transport!
On Saturday 29 November 2008 Airnieuws Nederland and Dutch Aviation Society will organise an aviation convention/aviation fair again. This gathering of aviation enthusiasts first took place in 1996 and is known as the Dutch Spotters Convention (DSC). For years it has been the place in the Netherlands to trade, sell or exchange all kinds of aviation related collectables.
In the past years this aviation fair usually took place at Rotterdam
Airport. Now the big sports hall of Merwestein in Nieuwegein near Utrecht ( http://www.merwestein.nl/ ) will be the scene of dozens of booths with books, magazines, slides, photos, videos, DVDs/CDs, postcards, aircraft models and many other aviation related collectables. Also other aviation societies, spotting groups and aviation companies will be present.
Access to the aviation convention is free, as is parking. The fair will
last from 10.00 to 16.00 hours. Stands can be booked for € 20, - per table. Reserve your table now! Experience has shown these get fully booked-up rather early...

The main reason to hold the DSC in Nieuwegein in november is the convention is part of a whole day out for the aviation enthusiast. In the afternoon the National Dutch Spotters Championships 2008 (NSK) will be held in an adjacent room.
At night you can watch and listen to some very interesting lectures, including one by a former F-105 Thunderchief "Wild Weasel" pilot. For more information see
