When

The Benelux weekend will start Friday the 12th of November. We can enter our accomodation at 18.00, so we would like to ask if you will try to arrive between 18.00 and 19.00. At 19.00 we will have dinner, so make sure you don't miss it! Sunday you can go home whenever you want, we will stay till 16.00.

The location

Instead of what we said first, the weekend won't be in Lunteren, but in Vierhouten. Vierhouten is a lovely little village, situated in the middle of the 'Veluwe', the biggest forest in The Netherlands. The closest big city is Apeldoorn. Recreationarea 'De Paasheuvel' is the place where we will sleep. It's a big area with many campfields, but they are situated seperately, so we will have enough privacy. The area has his own swimming lake, so if you like to swim and you're not afraid of cold, you should take your swimming clothes with you!

We will sleep in 7 little wooden houses in which are 8 beds. We also have a big recreation room where we can have dinner, discussions and of course party!

Important!You should take your own reprehendes with you. If you forget them you can rent them for 7 euros.
