Dutch Apolyton meeting: 22,23 or 24 nov HCC dagen Utrecht.

[Zopperoni]

On Friday, I can only be there from ~20.00h-23.30h (exact times depending on the time tables of public transport to and in Utrecht). Saturday and Sunday I can in theory be there all day.

One of them "Weekend-OV-guys", eh?



I can play it flexible too:

I will be going to the fair on Friday the 22nd, it would be easier for me then if I could then just stay in Utrecht for the meeting.
However, I can split up both activities as well: I can only go to the fair on Friday, and attend the meeting on Sunday the 24th. [Saturday is a no-go for me.]

No, I have a "week OV", I would actually prefer a weekday but, like I said before, I have an exam on Friday afternoon. So the idea is that if we meet on Friday, I make the exam, rush to the nearest McDonalds or whatever to quickly eat something (I'll die if I don't get to eat between 12:00 and 20:00) and then rush to the train station to catch the first train to Utrecht. Most probably that will mean I'll be on Utrecht CS around 19.45-20.15 (assuming I'll need the full 4 hours for that exam)...

Didn't you read what I said earlier? I said we could meet at the HCC or afterwards. That would be somewhere after 18:00, we could all meet at a local restaurant. Unless I hear some good suggestions I'll decide which restaurant it's gonna be.

But at this point I would like to decide set a date for the meeting itself. Individuals can always meet me at the fair.

I'm not familiar with Utrecht at all, so I can't give any suggestions as far as that's concerned... And I'm still not sure if I can be there.

I can make it friday too. around 8 seems a good time as well.

Vraagje, waarom deze thread in het Engels?

Because its not allowed to be in Dutch.

Edict of the management. English is the only permissable language because of moderation problems. Other languages have dispensations (such as the Spanish forum, and the Suomithreadi)

Good, we're starting to see a general agreement on friday 22 nov. Unless there's a major shift in opinion I'll pick that date. I'll try and find an easy to find and suitable location for the meet. It will be somewhere close to Utrecht central station.

No, it won't be in a McScrooge or a BurgerPeasant..just a regular cafe/restaurant

Well I hope the attendance is going to be up to it, and remember, in my position, I can make last minute plans to get over there and should be able to sort something out about accommodation one way or another if I do.

I will watch this space

[Bas]

Still not sure, but it's very well possible that I'll come. Friday evening sounds fine with me, I'll probably come a bit later though (weekend OV+a 2 hour trip, so around 21:00). PH, in principle, you're welcome to stay at my place, but I'm afraid that's a bit out of the way as well. We'll have to stay at either Texel (in that case we have to make it an all-nighter, so not really an option), or in Groningen, but that's about 2 hours away from Utrecht, and I'm not sure if there are any night trains. I guess not, but I'll check.

[Bas]

The options are leaving at 23:52, or leaving at 5:10. What are the actual plans for the meet, though?

[Locutus]

Friday evening 8ish sounds okay to me. The options for leaving are about the same for me as for Bas, but I think a meet of about 3-4 hours is long enough so that should be okay

Is the idea that we'll just meet or will we have dinner together? (CapTVK mentioned a restaurant) That's rather important for me to know, it considerably impacts my travel plans...

[Zopperoni]

Well, dinner together would be nice. Cap and I will be in the Jaarbeurs (I almost typed "Haarbeurs" o_O) all day, so we'll be looking for some place to eat after that anyway I suppose.

[Provost Harrison]

Hmmm, I may leave it for now if things are not going to be concrete. Besides, I will get a proper poly meeting sorted out over there and get as many people from here to go there, SD is certainly up for it.
