[mepmuff]

In 2014 We'll back with another Dutch Open in Amsterdam!

We'll be using the same venue as last year and will be able to host 50 players quite easily with options to increase this number.

Please note that if we do have to increase the capacity, we'd like to know well in advance, so please register when you know you'll come!

When?
Superbowl weeken 2014! That's the first weekend of februari (1st and 2nd).

So, where do I register?

No inducements, flings (100k chef) and goblins (50k bribes) excepted.

A ticket will cost €25

First ever Dutch Open!

[gninocker]

Registered.

[Joemanji]

I will be there.

[Pipey]

Myself and Winkle_Picka on board. Flight booked, just need to sort accommodation.

[JaM]

Need to sort accomodation too. We (2 of us) only need 1 night, seems Stayokay is out. Anyone have any advise? :-/

[Dr. Von Richten]

Is this: http://www.stayokay.com/nl/hostel/amsterdam-zeeburg booked full?

Otherwise there's this hostel near Vondelpark where most of the T5 people stay in summer, that might work too. Actually I believe there's a ton of hostels in Amsterdam, is there really no place anywhere?

[driesfield]

We booked at stayOK zeeburg at the timorplein..

[Pedda]

Have a look at AirBnB

[longfang]

I don't think you can book just one night. So book friday and come and have a beer.
Where is the friday night bar meet?

Well, we (Marco and myself) prefer just 1 night, but the Stayokay doesnt really let us (you need 2 nights in the weekends).
And I know from experience that booking on the day itself, when you are trying to play some kind of game and drinking beer/having fun is kinda streddful. I mean, I dont find the thought of sleeping IN the Vondelpark particulary appealing.

I might be persuaded to go for 2, start Friday and go home on Sunday. Have to check that with he missus, but if I leave when the kids are in bed it should probably be allright

Pedda: good link! Might be just what I need. thanks!


Btw, I guess that the 'normal' Fridaynight hangout is the Schutter, right? I mean, where else...

There are no bars in Amsterdam besides The Schutter! Any suggestion otherwise is nothing but lies and heresy!
