Sometime in June or July Gwynzer, StealthEye, Trace and me will meet up in the Netherlands for a meeting. We thought it'd be a great idea to include more people, so in this thread we're checking which weekend would fit you best. We estimate that it'll cost somewhere around 200 Euros, but it'll depend on the actual weekend and the location. Please take this into account when voting for a date, as we don't want you to vote unless you actually intent to come.
During this weekend we'll plan some activities like paintball/lasergame and possibly more outdoor fun. The evenings can be filled with things like drinking, board games, perhaps a mini-lanparty and more drinking. In any case, it'll be a lot of fun and a chance to meet the people you yell at/yell at you when gaming

The potential dates are:
June 6th till 9th
June 13th till 16th
June 20th till 23rd
July 18th till 21st


PLEASE LET US KNOW BY POSTING WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!

If you can't be there for the entire weekend, that's no problem as you're of course free to join in or leave whenever you want. However, it might be a bit more difficult to get to the location then, or you might miss activities.

Silly man, mentions voting but doesn't put up a poll.

Let's not get a super fancy place this time, where we sit down in an amazing beautiful dining room with champagne for supper.... which is pasta.


I shall bring the Whiskys.

[Gwynzer]

and I imagine I'll also be willing to host anyone in Scotland who is all "I aint travelling to Europe for just a weekend", jus sayin'.

[Slyfox]

I don't think I'd be able to make it this summer, but I hope most of you decide to go. Hanging out with BI is never lame. 

Also, it would be awesome if you guys could skype me sometime during the meet, so I could be a part of it. Sort of.

Having just spent over $2k fitting out my new apartment (fridge, George Foreman Grill, bed, computer desk, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside table, coffee table, TV stand, DSL modem and a bunch of small stuff I have forgotten) my budget can't stretch to flying all the way from Australia to Europe

I'm not sure if we'll have a decent internet connection available, but if we do, I'll set up a webcam so the lame people that stay at home can watch in envy Skyping is always an option btw

Shame y'all live all the way over in the Netherlands. Would be nice to meet up. Man, I've been gone for far too long, haha

[StealthEye]

It's a shame that you live so far away, jonwil! (Welcome to the BI forums, btw )

Dealman, you're not *that* far away, are you? You're not excused! (And yes, you've been gone for too long! )

Sweden isn't that far away, it's only an hour, hour and a half by plane. Isn't that expensive either, I mean, I think I flew for less than 100 euros to Stockholm.

[Gwynzer]

So FTR, as far as I'm aware, I can do all 4 of the weekends

[Trace]

June 6th till 9th - Bad option for me, but maybe for a day
June 13th till 16th - Available
June 20th till 23rd - Leaving on holiday, so thats a no
July 18th till 21st - Probably available

[YinYinYa]

You guys going to have a WEBCAM up? Would be nice as none of the dates fit.. 

[Gwynzer]

noooo yin yin. What WOULD work for you then?

[YinYinYa]

Sorry to be a partypooper, but have to fix apartment n really bad finacial situation atm. Can't see it clearing in the next six months so.. Time n cash wise.   

[StealthEye]

So, EvilWhitDragon and I just decided that apparently the weekend of June 13th till 16th suits best, so we'll pick that one. In terms of activities, any particular suggestions? EWD already mentioned things like paintball, but perhaps more outdoor activities?
Oh and in terms of stay, what do you think of a cottage for the weekend? Seems to us the most fun.

@Trace, will you be able to arrange a car? EWD will check with his parents, but that's currently unsure. Renting a car is also an option, but more expensive obviously.
