Where you gonna be mate? Del and I land about 8am and we should be in the centrum by around 9 latest I figure. Geggster will be in town by 2pm as well.

Need to check on map where the Friday night bar is...

Friday en Saturday.

It's in the center.

If you walk from the station to Damsquare, then you continue straight ahead for around 100-200 meters and it's on the left.

Beware, there's a big construction project going on, so the venues on the left are blocked a bit.

goedendag,

some frenchies coming from Toulouse will land off in the middle of the friday afternoon...

Is the Tara a sort of "bloodbowler place" for the week end ?

Where must we send our roster sheet ? When and where will take place the registration ?

Thanks for the answers

Marco
coming with me Gros Ben des Bois and Jeff

Ehm... the stayokay at the Vondelpark seems fully booked already.

Does any of the "locals" have a good idea where 2 guys from Arnhem can stay ? Any cheap hotels ? Anything ?

Vonderpark was full before Xmas!

We are booked quite literally around the corner in the Hotel Anne-Marie I think it is but it sounds like a hostel same as Vonderpark to be honest.

And thanks for the directions Lucy.

Hotel Annemarie is much too complecated for me...

I've booked at "the euphemia". No idea if it's any good, but it will suffice.

Booked in at the Stayokay Amsterdam Vondelpark. Just got to work out how to get there and from there to venue

If I can suggest a friday afternoon meet up bar , the Rock and Roll bar in Leidseplein. Smoker friendly

we used it at T5 in the summer, the yellow sign above Gav's head is on the left in the picture below. Easily seen is the Rolling Stones lips sign above a nearby bar.

If you stand with you back to the Bulldog bar, facing the trees, then the bar is in the left hand corner of the plein on the far side of the trees.

Lets say it will be a convienient meet up point for late afternoon/early evening friday.

below is a link to a sat image of the plein.
Also shown in the sat image by a blue balloon is the Rokerij coffee shop which I highly recomend to all you heads

Follow everyone else to the trams or better still work them out for yourself. I'm sure a nice "Cloggy" will post the tram number and stops but the info is probably on the DO web site.

The Tara is the proposed meeting place for friday and saturday.

You don't have to send your roster, this will be checked during the first game.
Registration is done, the hour before the first games start.

I've booked around Christmas at Vondelpark. I'll be in town one hour after you I suppose, and for once I'd decided to be a real tourist in A'dam, instead of spending all my time playing BB and drinking beer... so I think I'll spend the morning at the Van Gogh Museum...
In the afternoon, we can catch at the Rock and Roll bar, waiting for the Tara...

Really wish I could've made it this year, not only to hang out with all of you and play BB, but the fact that winter finally hit in full force and it's currently -31 C with a wind chill of around -44 or so. Holland's looking pretty good right now (or any place in western Europe).

Hope you all have fun, I'll be thinking of you all back here in the cold tundra of the Great White North.
