But Cybershy, if you're on vacation that weekend. Wouldn't that mean you have a free bed at home?

I'm not sure,
are you good in doing the laundry and the dishes and more cool house-cleaning stuff, PH?

Besides that do I wonder if PH would feel confortable in a house with that many bibles and all that
He can login to 'poly though, and say "God does not exist" with my poly account.

Thinking about it again: no, there's no spare bed left over if I'm away, no questions permitted. The beds are gone with us. #doitnow!#

In principle, I'd probably have a place for you PH... But it's rather out of the way (near Amsterdam), and the way it looks now I probably won't be attending the meeting myself (and no interest in the HCC either), so that would be a bit silly.

3 weeks from now, eh?

Edit: spot the difference...

Just checked the trains....7hrs to get to Utrecht.

I can get to Bruxelles in under 2hrs

That's weird, SD. You can reach Utrecht from Brussels in under three hours.

Of course, I could decide at the last minute to go anyway, but I can't let you know at the last minute, I guess... Not to mention I'd have to ask my father first...

Is there an exact date yet, or is it still just somewhere that weekend?

How long before would you need to know?

The site SD linked to the best one I know.
Here's the proper URL: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/qu...&protocol=http:

I don't think it has any pricing info though.

If it's only for Holland, this site's good: http://www.ns.nl/cgi-ns/nsbaliecgi?language=2

Well I need to let work know, which means I would have to know pretty soon

What I was thinking is I could then go to Amsterdam and stop somewhere overnight and then go home the following day, give me a chance to meet up with some of the other Apolytoners around there, and give me some company on the evening.

I checked again and it depends on what day and time. The optimal timetable has me leaving my house at 7:45(GMT) being in Bruxelles at 12:00(GMT+1) and being in Utrecht an 15:30(GMT+1) on Friday 22nd. (It seems to take 3hrs to get to Bruxelles from where I live, about the same time as it takes to get Birmingham)

The extra time comes from getting to my local station, changing trains at Bruxelles and Ashford. ~30mins each time makes a ~5hr journey 6½hrs, and then add an hour for the timezone change.

I didn't answer to your plea before because I thought someone who is living more convenient near Utrecht for you than I do (wow, lousiest English I ever wrote) would offer to keep you up for the night. If no one else responds you can always stay over at my place though it will be out of your way. Arnhem is near the German border

I'm not sure if I will be going to Utrecht but in case not I can pick you up from Arnhem station when the thing is over.

Come on people, don't be so typically Dutch! Offer the man a place to stay!

Hm, nasty. What's extra nasty is the fact that:
- if you leave from Brussels CS @ 1156 (CET)--> you'll arrive at Utrecht CS @ 1513 (CET); while
- if you leave from Brussels CS @ 1230 (CET) --> you'll arrive at Utrecht CS @ 1531 (CET).

Now I'm getting confused

I will have to formulate a plan.

And is anyone actually going to go to Utrecht? Most Dutch people don't seem to be going, so it would be pointless for me to go if barely anyone is going to go. Although you have inspired me to organise a proper Dutch meeting with a bit more notice so we could have a much greater attendance!

I begin to think the HCC is not the ideal place and time for an Apolyton meeting.
There were only 4 of us last year, after all.

Man, talk about negativity, and that's only the local crowd!

Didn't you read what I said earlier? I said we could meet at the HCC or afterwards. That would be somewhere after 18:00, we could all meet at a local restaurant. Unless I hear some good suggestions I'll decide which restaurant it's gonna be.

But at this point I would like to decide set a date for the meeting itself. Individuals can always meet me at the fair.

On Friday, I can only be there from ~20.00h-23.30h (exact times depending on the time tables of public transport to and in Utrecht). Saturday and Sunday I can in theory be there all day.
