Notable Dates

2008-06-21 51 4 was just in front of a chimney factory in Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel, The Netherlands. One person waited at 16:00 but nobody else showed up.
In fact, on that date, Azijn & Friends had made it to the location an hour early and left early, because they needed to be home on time to catch the EC football match. They left some markings, and pictures are available here.
2008-07-12 51 4 was in the country side near De Heen, a small village near Steenbergen in Noord-Brabant. One person was near there around 1600, waited a bit, but found no-one else.
2008-09-27 51 4 was in Schiedam (close to Rotterdam); a spontaneous meeting of 3+1 people.

Missed Dates

2008-05-24 51 4 According to the ATOM feed, the location for the Saturday meet is here in Hoogstraten, Belgium. I hope I can make time to get there. It looks like I can't make it this week. Besides that, there is something wrong with the location. I had found this location both through the tool and the atom feed. And right now I'm getting a different location. I'm going to forgo this week, because of time constraints on my side and because the new location is a bit far away.
