Hi Jurjen! Looking forward to this meet already. I voted any date, but the winter sports holiday still has to be planned and this will probably be somewhere in February, so January is preferred.
Voted any date but presence is dicated by weather and humidity which play havoc with arthritis.

So far the first date seems to be going to be the one. But the poll is still running, so we'll see what happends.
Greetz (and thanks for the comments)
Hi All,
Any date will do for me, as I can't plan that far a head anyway. I'll just have to wait and see if I can make it (and my wife will let me). But if I can I will certainly come.
Grtz,
Niels
Hey Jurjen,
I'm really looking forward to the next Dutch BC meeting. Until now I don't have any appointments on the suggested dates. I hope the definitive date will fit my agenda.
See you!

In the thread on the previous meeting some people had some ideas on what to do the next time. Are we going to do something with that?

I would like to give a basic fishing course. What materials, where to fish, what to use for bait, and what fish are edible. Penvisser (Jan) and I have talked about it somewhere along the way, and maybe we could do it together. I'll have to discuss it with him some more.
Regards,
Thijs

Hey Simon, (and everyone else)
I really like workshops, so my weekends tend to have quite a bit of focus on those. But beside that its also about having the oppurtunity to sleep in the woods, talk and meet.
So far we're still looking to find more workshops, maybe you have an idea for one, I'd love to hear it.

That would be great, I'll put your workshop on the list. After seeing you doing this on the last weekend, I'm sure others will want to try it as well.

Hey guys, Stein, Simon en Niels, I've put you in the group that's going to help clear out the campsite. I'd expect that it will take untill 18.00 hours at the most, including a trip with materials that we'd need to bring back to storage. Would that be ok? It would be great when you guys could help out with that.

Hi all,
Thijs, looking foreward to give a workshop together with you about different kinds of angling methods.
I will bring some gear with me, like nets and traps, bates, hooks etc.
Maybe we can combine it with some rabbiting methods?
Please pm me for further brainstorming.
Best regards,
Jan aka Penvisser,
Maybe I'll come join you. I live near Hilversum anyway and kinda know the location.
Is it okay if I bring someone else with me and when do you need confirmation?
Oh, and I can probably bring some firewood :)

Hey Stein,
I've got a dutch oven, you can use that one. Or follow the dutch oven workshop, or buy one at the location. Plenty of choices :-)
ok then, might even buy one after first using one;)
still doubting about the size and legs or not(for indoor use) and an african potjie also seems pretty intresting
see ya friday
