„CanadaTable“ Treffen in Frankfurt

Am 10.12.09 um 20 Uhr findet im Steinernen Haus in Frankfurt, Braubach-Str. 35 um 20 Uhr das erste CanadaTable Treffen in Frankfurt statt. ‘Kennenlernen, gemeinsames Essen und sich über Kanada austauschen’ ist das Motto des CanadaTable Frankfurt. Der CanadaTable Frankfurt soll in 2010 zu einer festen Einrichtung für alle Kanadafans aus dem Rhein-Maingebiet werden. Bei Interesse senden Sie bitte eine kurze Info (entweder direkt hier über die Kommentarfunktion oder direkt an thobre@googlemail.com)

Wer sich nicht vorstellen kann, was man sich unter einem CanadaTable Abend vorstellt kann dem empfehle ich die Webseite des MapleTable in Hamburg. Ähnliches wollen wir in Frankfurt etablieren.

 

Canada Dia Show in Münster bei Darmstadt

Am Dienstag 24. November 2009 wird der Profi-Fotograph und Filmemacher Hans G. Pfaff in einer zweistündigen digitalen Multivisionshow den Norden Kanadas im Kino Kaisersaal-Lichtspiele in Münster bei Darmstadt präsentieren.

Mit der digitalen Zwei-Stunden-Show war der Profi-Fotograph Hans-Gerhard Pfaff und seine Frau im Jahr 2009 auf verschiedenen Reisemessen im Auftrag der Regierung zu Gast.
Bei dieser erfolgreichen Präsentation werden das erste Mal weltweit die nordischen Regionen im Rahmen einer Video-Projektoren-Show vorgestellt.
Live präsentiert werden der Yukon, die Northwest Territories und das neue Territorium Nunavut. Auch eine Reise mit dem russischen Expeditionsschiff Ljubov Orlova vom Veranstalter Cruise North durch die berühmte Nordwest Passage wird dokumentiert.

Incredible Caps – Coming soon!

In nicht allzu ferner Zukunft ist es soweit. Dann wird „Incredible Caps“ seine Online-Pforten öffnen.

Ebenso wie bei Beers n Bears, wird das gesamte Sortiment aus Kanada und den USA stammen. Einer der Schwerpunkte werden die Ligen rund um die NFL, die MLB und die PBR sein. Außerdem wird es jede Menge Caps rund um das Thema „Wild West“ geben. Der Store ist noch nicht offiziell geöffnet und wird deshalb noch mit einem Passwort gesichert. Falls Sie sich aber schon einmal im Vorfeld einen Eindruck verschaffen möchten:

Canada Convention 2009 – The Legend continous!

Nachdem die Convention 2008 schon sehr viel Spaß gemacht hat, geht es 2009 mit der gewohnten Professionalität in die nächste Runde:
Das Canada-Board und die Kanada Netpage veranstalten ihr viertes Treffen gemeinsam mit dem Dorint Hotel Arnsberg und dem Dorfhotel Sylt

Gegen Abend Abmarsch zur angemieteten Grillhütte

Am Abend gibt es ein canadisches Menue und bestimmt auch wieder viele Bilder zu gucken.

Sonntag

Die besten Sachen natürlich zum Schluß:
Bei Anreise gibt jeder Teilnehmer an der Reception sein selbstgeschossenes Lieblingsphoto von Canada ab (max.2 pro Pärchen). Diese Photos werden über das Wochenende im Tagungsraum ausgestellt und die Teilnehmer wählen das für sie schönste Photo aus.
