Dutch Apolyton Meeting

[Provost Harrison]

Well if someone arranges another one for Netherlands/Belgium etc in the future, I will see what I can do. As I live in Hull (major port with ferry roots to Rotterdam) it is no real problem and not too expensive. If someone can help me with the accommodation as well () then I will see what I can do. Strange how on most days I can get to Rotterdam a lot cheaper than I can get to London

[Robert]

yeah, let's meet in Rotterdam !
I *have* to meet Provost, to finally convince him about a few viewpoints of me

I would like it to mee you guys, but I'm not sure if I want to do it during the HCC days.

And, with mercator, who's going to party while it's the 10th year Freddie Mercury died

If we're going to mee, I prefer saturday, since as a freelancer it's quiet expensive to take a day of during the week
(where's the money-smiley if you need it ?)

Ahh...it would be good to see you again, Rich...and if it's for one day...you could come in the morning and leave in the evening...(...without worrying about accomodation...), couldn't you...?

Alright...maybe not the HCC dagen...but Utrecht is nice and central...

Where are the others...? Paul...? And has anyone seen Bas or Rand Al'Tor lately...?

I'll ask Oogkloot whether he is interested or not...

[Robert]

I understand you wouldn't like it to face the fact that Amsterdam is just a puny little smelly city, compared with the glorious superior city of Rotterdam

but Utrecht is nice and central...

Rotterdam is more central if our belgium friends will come as well, or people from England.

I have no clue where all the others are.
Paul is probably busy updating his complex champions league spreadsheet again

I'm right here. I would like to meet some other Apolytoners, but the proposed weekend of 24-11 isn't the best for me because of my mother's birthday. I don't think she would like it if I missed her birthday just because I wanted to meet some people I know from the internet.

[Zopperoni]

All right...what would be the best date for you folks...?

For me...a Sunday would be the best day...

[Robert]

saturday,
monday evening, thuesday evening, wednesday evening, thursday evening

[Paul]

Saturday, Sunday or any school holidays (I work at a school).

[Zopperoni]

I'm @ university...I don't have holidays till Christmas...

Anyway...how about Saturday December 1st then...?

Whoa, seems there's definitely interest for a meeting! One at a time please. My preference would be sat 24 nov or (if the demand is great enough) sun 25th nov.

As for the issue of travel cost, there's a giant computer market with hundreds of hardware and software bargains (maybe even Civ3 ). Plus you'll finally meet some posters in the flesh! You're bound to come back as a winner anyway you look at it.

Zopper,
Holidays?! Holidays?!! Students don't need no stinking holidays!

If you make it Bruxelles then all I would have to do is hop on the Eurostar at Ashford and could be there for the meet, and be home on the same day.

I was thinking, what language would your meet be in. Cos if I ever went to a Dutch meet it would be difficult unless I force you all to speak English; My abilty to speak hurdy-gurdy is limited to to say the least.
