It's already build around the corner, but although usuable for chessplayers, it's not good for a BB tourney.
So, it won't be used again.

So, after trying a few others...... Quellijn proved itself once more.

Just booked the flights and hostel.
Thads returns to the Dutch Open with his brand spanking new Dwarf team.
Yay.
Looking forward to this a lot.

Changed my mind will be playing Chaos Pact - ΟΛΥΜΠΙΧΑΟΣ instead of Orcs.

Chaos Pact it is.

Name remained the same though.

Sorry everyone, but I'm going to have to pull out too.

I can't get someone to pick my son up from nursery on the Friday, so I miss the only flight out of Southampton

On top of that, my childcare has cost me 850 quid (or 850 Euros these days) for the first month so my holiday money has gone to that instead.

Seriously gutted...will be back next year!!!

Finally, after years of having the DO on my son's birthday and a failed attempt, I'll be able to make it over.

Excuses, excuses ... Your son is only a couple of years old, so there was a DO you didn't attend before you could use that excuse, Sjapie!

Was about time you showed up in A'dam!!! Already looking forward to it, mon ami!

I'll better make sure the bench outside is repaired and up to Sjapie standards.

As the financial reality of a one Pound Euro hits, coupled with the need to actually be a bit more financially cautious over the few months, hits home it's with a heavy heart that I'm going to have to call time on my desire to make it to the Dutch Open this year.

Having missed the last two years, I really wanted to make sure it wasn't 3 in a row, but somethings just can't be helped. I'll be thinking of you lot (jealously!) come superbowl....... Enjoy!

Yep, me too I'm afraid

.

Blah blah 'Credit crunch', blah blah 'being sensible with money for once', blah blah 'not going to any events outside of London in 2009'.

Like my fellow countrymen who have also dropped out I am eternally annoyed at these circumstance and very jealous of you guys.

I know you're going to have a great time. I know it will be great fun.

Hope to see you for 2010...

Another question where is the meeting point this year? is the Tara the same as last year

Princelucianus · Post by **Princelucianus** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 2:33 pm

Momentarily several options concerning concerning meeting places.

I'll put our recommendation online in the next week.

I'll chance your race as well of course.
