I think you are basing your assumption on pre 11/9/01 data (or pre Easyjet/ Budgetair/Ryan Air information perhaps even?).That said, I agree with you: going abroad and crossing more than one country border is seen as a big deal. The Dutch'll go to Belgium or Germany, but France is pretty much out of the question. I don't think the South European gamer market is easily accessable with a North European convention, regardless of perceived distance by Americans.Something else: being from Amsterdam originally as wel as being an avid gamer, having worked in a game store and for a game manufacturing company, I think you need to work on your "naamsbekendheid".  I never heard of your event until just now, and I haven't been living in Brighton for that long. Print some flyers and drop them at the ABC and the Gamekeeper, not just the Gamesworkshop. The Gameworkshop is very much a niche market of the niche markets.</blockquote>
