Hans, I am sorry you cannot make it! How is John going to get there now?
I will be there for sure. Still don't know whether I will visit Saturday evening.

I'm sorry too, Jakov. Too bad this time. There is always next time.

How is John going to get there now?

Werner (alaun)? Will we share a ride again?


8:00 from Bonn ? With my 1er ?

Is there a good direction to put into the GPS to find the garage/parking?

As for the parking, you can e.g.  use these: 50.883363;4.716332

And being a city with a university, bikes can be found all over the town:

Great bike shot, Joost. Looking forward to seeing you. This is the fullest weekend of the year.
I even had to cancel some events to make it to Belgium!!!

I am sorry but I am not able to make it. Some urgent appointments came up which unfortunately can not be delayed or postponed. 

Have fun all of you !!

Buddy & Kristina, Chris, Hans and John, so sorry to hear you won't be able to be there,
but I am sure we will soon find another NG-event to meet again.

Come to think of it, who will organise our next meeting? What about... Germany? ... France?

The weather forecast for tomorrow is not too bad, but it seems safer to prepare for an occasional shower...

And some further elaboration of my own "zone system" (albeit with only 7 zones)

1. Botanical garden, zone E

2. Busstop in the centre, zone A

3. Tower in Sint-Maartensdal, zone G

Martine should join us and maybe some other friends. Denis is busy with another project. See you tomorrow.

The coordinates for the parking are from a parking that grants a discount on weekend days (cost is 1€ per hour, with a maximum of 5€ for 24 hours).
It is in walking distance of our meeting point (300 meter?), you just have to cross the railway tracks through a pedestrian tunnel to arrive at the square before the railway station where Brasserie La Royale is situated.

50°53'00.1"N 4°42'58.8"E
50.883363, 4.716332

See you tomorrow!

Arenbergkasteel, zone F
