We are going to make a little birthday party in Budapest.
Are there any international members who are interested in it?

I'm still hoping to be there. I had a bit of a panic yesterday when I discovered my passport had expired but hopefully will be able to renew "on the spot" tomorrow by going to the passport office in person, but I'm not going to book flights etc. until I definitely have the passport done!

Better  we do the party here in Spain...

Is a joke, Budapest is too  far for me.

But please post here the details of the meeting.

Budapest, Lipótvár street 9/A, it is my workplace (IKO Informatika). Start at 15:00 (local time :-) ).

Previously I thought of another place where we have lots of Spectrum-Enterprise events. But this week I got the information: renovation started, and will not finished until 16 May :-(
Then I started the emergency plan, and my boss agreed to have the birthday party in our office. (He also started the computing with the Enterprise :-) )

 Dear Mr. Tanner,
You don't need passport to come Hungary neither then visa. That time is ended in 2006. We are in the European Union, you can use your personal ID card to travel between the cities of the European Union. I know what I am saying, because I travel a lot, last year I flew 12 times in Central EU (or double, because I had to fly back as well).
 So, if you have a valid drivers license, or personal ID card, then you are good to travel to Hungary.

Hi Tuby128, thanks for that, you may well be correct, but I am not brave enough to pay for a flight and try it! Last time I travelled to mainland Europe, several years ago now, I still had to show my passport briefly but it was not studied, but maybe things have changed. We don't have ID cards in the UK and older driving licences (like mine) do not have a photo so they are not a very good proof of ID!

I think you will find that a new rule has come into force, with UK Immigration, where all passports are now checked when leaving and entering the UK.

Dear Mr. Tanner,

 you mean you don't have such a thing like this:


 In Hungary we have a Personal ID card, a home adress card which comes from the local office, than most of us has a driver's license, national health insurace card, and a national tax number card. And earlier as I was a student, I had a student card as well. So with my credit cards I have at least 10 card in my wallet.
 We have plastic card since 1998. That time the teenagers with age of 14 got this card, and with the time every passport like ID card was changed to plastic. The funny thing is, I found my grand-grandpa's ID "book" from 1900, there was no photo inside, only a description how he looks like.

No we don't have a card like that - we were going to once but the plans were dropped, partly because every citizen was going to be forced to pay £70+ for one. Modern driving licences have a picture card similar to that but they have only been around for a few years. Students often have a similar photo card but it is a long time since I was a student!

In HU we pay 4 GBP for a ID card. For a driver's license 10GBP (under age of 40 every ten years has to renewed).

I don't see why the UK government determined this 70 GBP. It's indeed too expensive.

It seems, that I can come, too :) I have to check some things, but tomorrow I will know it 100% for sure.

I am afraid that everybody should wear some kind of table with name (also/only nick) on it, since it would be hard to realize who is who :-P
