"...True SPIRIT of Commodore 64 parties..." ....o1...: w h a t ? . . . For the 6th time already, thanx to Dragon Software and many others, a small city of Bartoszyce in the north part of Poland will become the place to be for those still ON and IN LOVE with The C64 Scene. It's probably the last c64-only party in Poland, but we still feel the immanent urge to organise it :) We hope that you'll strive and show up again with all your compo entries and fun motivation. It seems that North Party has become a tradition for the Polish scene. Therefore this time - as usual :) - you can expect more fun, more crazy compos and even better organisation... :) So, don't wait until the results, photos & wares appear on TBR - just show up & experience the real thing... and keep the c64 vibe pumpin'! ....o2...: w h e r e ? . . . The party will take place in a building called "Zespol Szkol Mechanicz- nych" in Bartoszyce, situated on the Limanowskiego street (it's where the soccer compos at np3 & np5 took place). ../ From the bus/train station Just take a walk, the way to the party place will be signed. In case it's not, just follow these directions: After getting out of the train - in the tunnel - don't go towards the city centre, but the opposite way. Leaving the tunnel, turn just a little bit right and enter the promenade between a wall and a shop. When you reach a small shop with a "RUCH" sign on it, turn right. After about 30 meters, between the buildings, turn left and walk towards the fence surrouding the school. Go along it until you reach a railing, separating you from the streer. Now go right ang go towards a large gate, enter it and walk on straight, along the sidewall, and by the play field turn right - and you'll see the party place. ../ Using a car The first thing you have to do is to get to Olsztyn, which is rather easy. Then you basically drive in the direction of Bartoszyce (ask for way or look for the direction signs). After entering Bartoszyce you drive straight, then you pass the police station ('Policja' in polish) on the right. After 50m you reach a cross-road: turn right. Then drive about 300m (you'll pass the old partyplace on the right). You'll reach another crossroad - turn right, drive 100m and turn left on the crossroad. Next turns: one right, one left - and you should enter a tunnel. When you're out - turn left, drive 20m, turn right - and from this point you just have to drive straight to reach the party place. The good thing is to take a sheet of paper with you and write "Zespol Szkol Mechanicznych" on it... :) Of course you don't have to, if your Polish is THAT fluent... :) ....o3...: w h e n ? . . . The party will start at 8.oo am on o4th August 2ooo and last 3 days. The event will (most probably) conclude at about 11.oo in the morning on 6th August 2ooo. There will be a place to rest and sleep over if you arrive at the party place one day earlier. ....o4...: p l a t f o r m s ? . . . The one and only demomachine ever made, the 64kB/1mHz ultimate 8bit toy! But if you deliver any atari/amiga/pc stuff, it will be most probably shown. ....o5...: c o m p e t i t i o n s ? . . .

The only exceptions are music & reflextracker compos, which will take place on the first day. For both the deadline will be 4 pm on Friday. - There is a possibility of rejecting your work, if it does not meet the requirements. Scans, converted shit etc. will b e most probably shown with proper comment, so give it up, multimedia jerks... :) - If there is a need for performing the selection (f.e. 228 msx compo entries :), it will be performed. - The compo disk should feature the description of contents, the author's nickname and/or group and the compo type. - Your entry may compete at the compo - even if you're not personally at the party, BUT it must feature a note stating who exactly will deliver it. - We really RECOMMEND sending/mailing your works before the event to make sure nothing happens to it on the way here :) .

Ok. This is a party and we all want to have fun. But sometimes you should probably behave just a little bit like a civilised human being :) That means f.e. destroying the equipment is strictly forbidden... You can drink as much as you want, as long it's not too much for you. Other condiments... Well. We're not monks, are we? (bring your weed) ;) Anyway - we don't take any responsibility for your equipment nor anything you bring with you, so leave that funky stereo at home :) . And if you do something against the law - well, we're not responsible for you, either. Even though we have our man at the police station... :) The organising stuff also asks you k i n d l y to : . show up at the party :) . show up at the party with your 64 . spread this invitation file and/or the official c64 invitro . and finally... show up at the party :) We eagerly await your arrival!
