I'm still waiting for the Bruxelles meet.

Hop on a train and I'll be there in a couple of hours.

I might be going to Brussels on business on April 4th.

The initial plan was to make it a day-trip, but it might be possible for me to stay for the weekend (paying for a youth hostel myself - I doubt the company want to put me up in hotel so I can go to a 'poly meet ) and meet anyone who wants to come down.

My train tickets will obviously be paid for by the company, but to be honest I don't know if I'll be booking them myself or if our travel office will do it. I'm still new here.
I reckon I could get a normal return instead of a day-return ticket.

I'm sure there are some Dutch and Belgian posters who could make it too.

Is this worth considering? Shall we start a thread to promote the idea?

A stop in Bruxelles? None of the flights would mean a landing in Bruxelles or transfer there either.

Indeed. That's why it would be good if Markos could give accomodation to people. Maybe he could even share his Internet connection.

You too, Panag.

hi ,

a lot of flights from finnair make a stopover in BXL to of load some and load some others , .....

often the flights from finnair are combined with those from an other company , .... with different prices and different codes , yet its the same plane , ......

Markos having people in his house , .... why does that sound so strange , ......

have a nice day

Be my guest.
If it's only that Friday, I think I can make that. I can travel to the border for free, and all I'll need to pay for is the train ticket in Belgium.

Panag,

yes, that's true, but I was talking about a nonstop charter flight from Helsinki to Thessaloniki. Many regular flights do fly by Bruxelles.

Overall the idea by CapTVK is nice, but we would need a higher level of activity and maybe even some official support from Dan or Markos. Maybe this could be combined to a meeting where the two actually meet each other for the first time. That would be great.

I'm looking at the fare right now....

A Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday day return from Ashford to Bruxelles is £70. An overnight stay would add an extra £9 to that.

If I'm doing that I would want to stay overnight and make a full weekend of it. As well as strong commitment from people here that they would turn up on the Saturday or Sunday.

OK.

I can't afford to pay for my own train fare, so I could only come if I actually go on this business trip (about a 60% chance). I can't make a 'strong commitment' right now, I'm afraid.

Exactly. This is getting way too off-topic. Do we want an international meeting or not? I'm all in for a meeting, but I assume there's no real powers supporting it.

Time to keep this thread in line, Brussels is worth another thread...

This is a thread for a possible meet NEXT YEAR (2004). Not this year.

update:

After reviewing the responses till now it seems the verdict is yes 4; maybe 5 and the nay's 7. The banana boat voters chose to abstain. If we can get the yes/maybe's up into the solid 30's I think it could be worth planning for.

At this point however I have bigger fish to fry, there's talk of another FUADEC later this year. Possible locations are London or Amsterdam. If it's gonna end up in Amsterdam I can organize things from here, if it's gonna be in London I'll need help from some volunteers.

Is anyone here from London who knows the area? We need a suitable location for around 15-20 people.

I know London geography pretty well, you'd have to say what kind of place (e.g bar, cafe, pub, restaurant, strip club...) you want to go to.
