One week left for 2009 Outgames early registration
If you’re on any gay and lesbian sports mailing list, you have probably been inundated with emails in the past two months about the 2009 World Outgames Early Registration promotion. If you’re reading about this for the first time, the pitch is simple: save 20% on your registration fee if you register before 30 Sep 2008.
Since there are only 7 days remaining and human nature being what it is, many of us might be waiting, procrastinating, hesitating, mulling it over, or just thinking about it.
We used a currency converter to see exactly how much of a saving you can get from a 300 Denmark Kroner discount. Forget the 20% – that is so nebulous. Let’s look at cold hard cash:
- Americans save US 59
- Argentinians save AR 183
- Aussies save AU 70
- Brasilians save BR 108
- Brits save UK 32
- Canadians save CA 61
- Europeans save EU 40
- Hungarians save HU 9638
- Kiwis save NZ 86
- Mexicans save MX 634
- Russians save RU 1473
- Swedes save SE 288
- Swiss save CH 64
- South Africans save ZA 479
We just updated the GLRF Outgames page with new information on budget housing and added some content for those who are discovering the Outgames for the first time. Yeah, it is a very expensive rowing event, in relative terms but you are also getting a lot of bang for your Kroner: no boat rental fees, mulitple event entries, no per seat fees, and two separate rowing events. It begins to seem like a pretty good deal.
