Melodifestivalklubben OGAE Sweden will be organising their annual club meeting and convention on October 4th at The Tivoli in Helsingborg, in the south of Sweden just by the seaside and everyone is invited to a day full of fun Eurovision related events!

The event will kick off in the afternoon with the club's annual meeting and Board elections, restricted to OGAE Sweden members only. The rest of the events, though, will be open to all guests. Next to follow will be lunch on a cruise ship which will sail from Helsingborg in Sweden to Helsingor in Denmark (click here for more info) www.acelink.se). a couple of hours later, all guests will be back at The Tivoli for dinner and the party. OGAE Sweden promise performances from several past Melodifestivalen stars, but who they are will remain top secret until they enter the stage, just like every year! "You will just have to take our word for it that they will all be fantastic!" says Maria Niklasson, president of OGAE Sweden. After the show it will be time to dance to Melodifestivalen and Eurovision tunes till 4 in the morning.

Admission to the event is 500 SEK (about 50 euros) and the deadline for booking and paying the fee is August 31. Admission includes lunch-cruise, dinner and the party. For more information and accommodation assistance, please contact Håkan Lindstam, here.


Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
