The pictures of the meet-up in Londen looked so cool that I got inspired 😀. Why can we not do such a thing in the Netherlands? 😉

Who would be interested in coming to a meet-up in the Netherlands? Please post here, and of course I could use a certain person to help me set it up because I live in Maastricht and every Dutchy knows that to be not very handy if you want to organize some in the middle 😕 lol

So who would like to come drink a beer with other rhp-people? 😵

If my agenda allows it, then I'm in.

Just give me the date and place in advance, so I can check it and reserve it when possible. 🙂

Well, that'd be great!
About the date: I thought it to be handy if we'd wait to see how many people would like to join us and then decide a date together. That'll be pretty hard but I'd like at least ten guys to show up. Perhaps more. What is normal for a meet-up? Does any of the mods know? Oh and I'll keep this in English because you never know who wants to join, maybe a few Germans or foreighn speakers living in the Netherlands. Maybe Belgians speaking French. So, let's see how many'd respond. Curious 😉 !

How about a saterday in the end of September or early October?
And could we do it in a small city, hopefully more and better parkingspaces. 😉

Take Russ up on his offer to PM all the Netherland players.

There are alot of players who dont come to the forum so the PM's would be read by all.

Ask him to include a link to this thread or for them to PM you direct for feedback on your meet up.

Good luck!

Will do.

Hey Loose Screw, where do you live? Maybe we can arrange something close to you. I was personally thinking about Utrecht because it's very easy to reach by train (I don't have a car, poor student 😛). And I know a nice big pub there that'd do just fine. Close to the central station and you can eat there for a reasonable price. What did you have in mind? I don't know many smaller towns in the middle of the country that could do ok, apart from Nieuwegein, but that's an incredible maze. Only by public transport you can find your way there 😕.

I live in Zwijndrecht, but that's not a good option either.

OK good point, I have to agree with you that it also have to be accessable by public transportation.
Maybe better for the people who want to drink too!

So we are going for Utrecht on a saterday in the end of september / early october?
That is if you can get an agreement with the pub you are thinking off.

The end of september or beginning of october is fine for me too.
The pub I was thinking about has no parking space so if you think lots of people would like to come by car that could be a problem. I just messaged Russ, asking him to message all the Dutchies and Belgians about the plan and this forum-thread. If we get a number of reactions we can inform the pub in question. We don't have to completely reserve the place but if we want to eat there as well we'll have to book some tables and I'm sure the owner would like to know in advance when a great number of people will be coming over even if we don't eat there.
This is going to be cool! 😀

If you sent Russ a private message he probably won't read it. You must contact site admin via feedback, as it states on this page:

I'll do that too then. So far, Russ has always read my normal messages to him, but one can never be too sure that he gets the message. Thanks for the note!
