At least I would defenitly join if I have time.
1) EHAM is a very busy airport on IVAO. that's why you always have ATC over there. you should check your time zone against local EHAM time zone, and see wich hour fits best, cuz during local daylight you will mostly find the locals online as ATC.
2) I don't think Gergely or Murray can be much of help here, cuz such event are to be organised by the division staff of the selected airport.
3) What I can do by myself to help you aout is this: I'm mostly online as ATC between 1400 and 0200 UTC, at EHAM, either as GND or as DEL.
If you want, when I'm online, I can switch positions with you. I will switch to observer, and let you take my place. I will stay on the channel with you, and let you do the ATC, and guide you through the proces when neccesary.
This way you can learn how to be controller at EHAM, and I can help you out as an more experienced controller at EHAM.
Note: Of course this does not only count for Cyriel, but for any other person on this forum whom would like to get more aquainted with online ATC.
Regards and happy flying,
