Get your passes for Cyprus Rally this year

Although passes for Cyprus Rally were sold every year, some people didn’t understand why they would need one. Spectator areas are usually big enough to fit anyone and Service Park does not provide enough entertainment for the masses to go. This year is differen though. WRC.com reports in this news item:

The organisers of this year’s Cyprus Rally have unveiled a dedicated fan facility at one of the most popular spots on the event in a bid to avoid the crowd-congestion problems which forced the second run through the stage to be cancelled last year. The Kelephos Bridge area on Saturday’s SS8 and SS11 will now be pass-only.

The Kelephos Bridge section is one of several watersplashes on the Mediterranean island event, as the cars pass through a ford on the Diarizos River. Facilities at the new pass-only spectator area will feature up-to-date results, live stage commentary and merchandising stands. Tickets for the area must be purchased in advance and will come on a first-come, first-served basis.

Live music in Getonia ton Osmaton

Andrey Shvachko becomes a continuous source of musical events in Nicosia. This time he informs that there will be a live music evening in Getonia ton Osmaton club. There will be two bands. The first one is Jazzmania, from the Nothern Republic of Cyprus. Probably they’ll play jazz, but you can never know for sure. The second band is called OS (and yes, Andrey is a prt of it too). It will play western coast rock-n-roll with hits from such famous bands as Grateful Dead, Chris Rea, Brian Adams, Beatles, and Whitesnake.

The evening program will start at 20:30 and the entrance fee is 5 CYP. The ticket includes food and drinks.

Getonia ton Osmaton is in Aglandjia part of Nicosia, not far from Filoxenia hotel. Andrey will probably provide the detailed map, with instructions on how to find it, a bit later. I’ll post it here if and when he will do so.

Update: Andrey posted the map. Here is the copy for you.
