I will create the formal events as more details will be provided.

The place is not very near the real center of the city, but is therefore easier to reach by car ( less than 15 minutes from the airport), and with a single bus line from the city center.

Some random information about the city and the accomodations.

In the same weekend in Bologna there will be a major motor fair named MotorShow ( motorshow.it/it/ ), implying 2 different things: if you want to stay more than the 2 day for the tournament, you may enjoy the fair. On the other hand, you should book your hotel as soon as possible. Speaking of which, we actually don't have arranged anything for the accomodation, but any hotel/hostel/apartment in the surrounding will be fine. Bologna is well served by Ryanair flight, and by many trains due to it's position.

A nice tipical dinner will be arranged for saturday evening, and we will have food and drinks all along the tournament at cheap price.

There's no need to subscribe in advance, but we will be glad to know earlier how many honoured guest we will have.

Just send me a word for any question you should have.

See you in Bologna!

which day is the Grand Prix? Sunday? Or is it a combination of both events?

nice to hear that!

I've edited my post to point out that saturday will be a stand alone tournament, and sunday will be the real and unique GRAND PRIX !!!!

wonderful, I know that some players from Paris are also coming by plane

Both tournament will be held in:
Circolo Arci Benassi
viale Sergio Cavina 4
40139 Bologna (BO)

( www.google.com/maps/place/Viale+Sergio+Cavina,+4,+40139+Bologna+BO,+Italia/@44.470959,11.39433,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x477e2b04efa6cb01:0x84699deff4ee540d!8m2!3d44.473236!4d11.3959937?hl=it-IT )

It's not an hotel or similar so it won't provide locations for rest.

If you are looking for booking rooms you can search anywhere nearby (even going outside the city itself pushing towards San Lazzaro di Savena (confining with Bologna)

Just let me know if I may be of some help
