Hi all,

Some of you may have read my last few posts in the general forum ... suffice to say I haven't been having a great time lately so I have decided to get away for a few days. Holland is the first of my trips, followed by Greece a little later in the year. I go to Holland with my best friend quite often as we love to play golf over their and then play at the Holland Casinos for the rest of the day and into the early morning!

We will be staying at the Hotel Theater Figi (http://www.hotels.nl/zeist/gtfigi/) if anyone from the forum fancies dropping by or meeting up somewhere else for a chat and a few drinks. Maybe meet us at the casino for some drinks? We stay in Utrecht as it is pretty central to the casinos in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Den Haag and of course Utrecht, with a couple of good golf courses en route.

My mobile number is +44 (0)7962 885915. Or my email, which I will be checking from the Hotel is spayne2001@hotmail.com so do please get in touch if you'd like to hook up. I am sure I will pop into the B&O dealer opposite the casino in Amsterdam at some point, probably the Saturday or the Monday.

All the best!
Simon.

If you want to play at a nice golfcourse you should check Golfsociety De Lage Vuursche (it's near Hilversum in the middle of the country)http://www.golflagevuursche.nl/ It's not cheap (120,- euro), but the course is alway in perfect conditions, and the clubhouse has got a swimming pool, sauna's and a fitness/healthcare room (and they take care of your dirty shoes too if you want ). Have to say that I really like the middle of our country (nice houses and golfcourses, nice facillities etc.).

Hi Simon,

I live 5 min from Figi.

 Why don't we have a Dutch beer on thursdayevening 26

cheers Eric

Hi Simon,

and when you've finished your dutch beer at eric's you might consider a real self imported belgium one at my place later on ?

I live 5 km from Figi (by car this means approx. 10 min.)

Hi Eric and Leon,

Thanks for both your replies and it would be great to meet. Can we arrange for the 3 of us to meet up together perhaps? We have made a slight adjustment to our trip in order to save some travelling costs (discounted ferry fairs etc.) so we are now booked on the 7am ferry from Dover to Dunkerque Friday morning. We will arrive at the hotel in Holland around lunchtime. We will probably drive to Den Haag that afternoon and stay for into the night. The next day, Saturday, we will be in Utrecht all day and all night. So this would be an ideal time for me to meet you guys. Let me know what you think. If you want to PM me your mobile numbers that would be good and I will call you Friday afternoon to confirm Saturday.

Looking forward to meeting you both.

Cheers,
Simon.

Eric and Leon...

Do you want to post or send me an IM with you phone numbers otherwise I can't get in touch!!? I am leaving the UK in 3 hours time for the 5am ferry from Dover to Dunkerque. I will try and check Beoworld tomorrow from the hotel if they have internet access to see if you have left any replies. Alternatively, please call me on my mobile: +44 (0)7962885915 so we can arrange to meet up either separately or together. I think the three of us meeting together would be really good.

Take care, hope to meet you both.

Simon.

Simon,

you've got a PM  !

greetings

Leon
