 Visit the World Jamboree
 The World Jamboree is open for day visitors from 3 to 9 August 
(inclusive) from 10 to 17 hours. (10 am to 5 pm) Due to the large 
number of visitors anticipated, tickets will be sold in advance and 
visits are limited to one day. The World Jamboree takes place at 
Dronten, in the Province of Flevoland. In the area there will be 
ample signs indicating the way. Parking is situated some distance 
from the site, and there will be shuttle service to the main 
entrance. Pets are not allowed. Entry tickets are available from 
April onwards. The price for tickets purchased in advance is:  
Adults: NLG 20; youths up to and including 17 years of age NLG 12.50; 
children up to and including the age of 4 are admitted free of 
charge. There is a booking cost of  NLG 3 per ticket. The number of 
tickets for each day is limited, and they may not be available at the

Direct train connections from Amsterdam Central Station and from 
Schiphol Airport railway station will take you to Lelystad. From 
there, take the special Jamboree bus service to the site.
Alternative: travel to Harderwijk railway station (from Amsterdam via 
Hilversum and Amersfoort). Board the Jamboree bus there. If you want 
to do it the Dutch way, rent a bicycle at Harderwijk station for a 
day and cycle to the site (about 15 km, 1 hour).

Please be advised that all accomodation like camp sites and hotels  
anywhere near the site is fully booked by now. If you need 
accomodation, ask for assistance at the same address as above.  

Cyberspace visit:
There is a limited possibility to take part in IRC sessions with 
Jamboree participants. If you are interested contact our Computer 
Activity Centre, Edwin van der Elst (avdelst@box.nl) for details.

Visits by radio:
The Jamboree has an amateur radio station, PA6WSJ, which can be 
contacted via short-wave and the digital packet-radio network. I can 
send more details if you want them.

Have a safe journey and welcome to the Netherlands!
See you there.
