Jumalauta

Annual General Shareholders Meeting 2017
1.-3.9.2017

Jumalauta 17

It's time once again to gather all our loyal shareholders in the same place and reflect on the past and the future. We will have some amazing compos, great accommodation, wonderful dj sets, kitchen and grilling opportunities and of course an excellent party atmosphere. The party will be held September 1st - 3rd, 2017 in Härkälinna, Hauho, Finland.

Location

We have once again booked the majestic Härkälinna castle in the heart of Finland, Hauho. The place is about 35 km from Hämeenlinna and 60 km from Tampere. For more information about the party place, check their website. We will of course have sauna which we'll try to keep warm whenever it's needed. We'll probably have some small snacks and drinks for sale, but otherwise it's basically bring-your-own-whatever. There's a kitchen in the castle you can use.

Accommodation

We have booked some cabins right next to the castle, which are available for our guests. Each of the cabins will of course have beds for a handful of people and they are also equipped with fridges, microwave ovens, bathrooms and other amenities. There's also beds for 20 or so people inside the castle in case you just want to crash there. The beds will have mattresses and pillows, but you should bring your own sleeping gear (e.g. sleeping bag or bed sheets, pillow cases etc.).

Arriving

The partyplace is located in Hauho, about 35km from Hämeenlinna. The easiest way to get there is by your own car (or hitching a ride from your fellow Jumalauta members).

By car

Drive 2.5km from Hauho on route 12 towards Lahti. Turn left to route 3223 (Sappee, Luopioinen) and drive about 2 km. Turn left on sign "Leppäniemen Hirsihuvilat" and drive down Leppäniementie about 2 km. When you arrive to a yellow farm house turn left and drive forward until you see the magnificent castle!

For GPS: Leppäniementie 196, 14700 Hauho

By public transport

You can get to Hämeenlinna by a train or a bus. Hauho also has a bus station. The party place is quite far from either, so please arrange someone to pick you up or be prepared to pay for a taxi. Organizers are not responsible for picking anyone up.

  • If the production can not be shown with the compo machines the author has to bring a suitable, allowed-by-the-rules machine on which the production can be shown.
