Calendar Programme – updated

Dear Friends,

Please find updated Calendar Programme below for your convenience and planning purposes.

ICCF 2013 Congress – Calendar Programme 130718

World Champions and congresses

There is a long tradition that world champions meet at ICCF congresses.

In according to my statistics the most frequent guests among world champions (including ICCF Congress in Kraków, Poland) are:

Times World Champions Remarks
24 11th Fritz Baumbach (GER) without any break since gaining world champion title !!!
9 6th Horst Rittner (GER)
9 12th Grigory Sanakoev (RUS)
7 16th Tunc Hamarat (AUT)

The biggest number of world champions hosted by ICCF Congresses:

ICCF Congress WC#
1999 Thun, Switzerland 6
2006 Dresden, Germany 6
2013 Kraków, Poland 6

At the congress page „World Champions and congresses” evidences of these very specific meetings have been placed, based on my archive and photos from book „Who is the Champion of the Champions?” by Fritz Baumbach.

I would be happy to suplement this page with evidences for other congress meetings 🙂

Currency rates in Kraków

Dear Friends,

Please don’t worry, if you bring with you your national currency.

There is more than 90 licenced exchange offices in Kraków!

For your convenience I provide few links below:

I added link to this page under „Take a look …” in the sidebar on the left.

==============

Please be aware that exchange rate for payment by credit/debit card depends on a few factors – kind of your card, currency being applicable in a given country and the way of counting foreign transactions by your bank.

By using the currency converter you can get an indication of the rate you may receive when using your card.

Examples of currency converter for cardholders:

Before your travel it’s wise to check parameters of your cards and how they work. The major fees charged to customers are for:

  • Transactions in a foreign currency (as much as 3% of the amount). A few financial institutions do not charge a fee for this.
  • Exchange rate loading fees (sometimes these might not be reported on the customer’s statement, even when applied). The variation of exchange rates applied by different credit cards can be very substantial, as much as 10% according to a Lonely Planet report in 2009.

=====================

Please be reminded that currencies fluctuate every day.
