flanoizele Posted January 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I would like to organise a photo walk in Brussels in March or April. Any Leica enthousiast interested to join? I have never organised these kinds of get togethers before, so if anyone feels like helping with the organisation, it would be more than appreciated Kind regards, Frédéric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalHeMan Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2014 Hi Frederic, I would be interested in joining, assuming the date is good for my agenda. You might want to speak with Jip on the forum as he organized a meeting in Antwerp in the second half of 2013.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to the dates, I will inform you very soon, so I hope it fits your schedule. I kind of hoped Jip would organise another meeting in Brussels but unfortunately it doesn't look like it will happen in the near future. I hope he can join also.

Best regards, Frédéric A good start would be to assign a date, and if you know Brussels well think about an accessible starting location, and a good photogenic walking route through the city, taking in a nice place for lunch and/or dinner.....

I have lived and worked in Brussels for years so I know Brussels very well. I was thinking of using the Central Station as a starting point and already have a pretty good idea of the places we could go to.

I have never organised these kinds of get togethers before, so if anyone feels like helping with the organisation, it would be more than appreciated Kind regards, Frédéric Hello, bonjour, goede morgen, bom dia. I lived half a century in Brussels, and come back "home" (I live for 20 years now in Portugal) one or two times a year. If there at the chosen date, I'll certainly join: So, I'll follow the developments of this nice project. Thanks ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flanoizele Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted January 9, 2014 Ok, until now we have 6 members who are interested : Simon Leech michiel fokkema Lars jip iLikeLeica Pecole After thinking it over one more time and discussing the topic with some friends I think it’s better to organize this on a Sunday. So, I would suggest March, Sunday 23rd. The local Leica Store will also send an invitation to their customers so maybe we will have some more people joining us. This weekend I will work on the walking route. Best Regards, Frédéric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel Fokkema Posted January 9, 2014 Share #16 Posted January 9, 2014 It's a 50% chance I can make it on March 23rd. Michiel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjans Posted January 10, 2014 Share #17 Posted January 10, 2014 I've been following this thread. Maybe it could be possible that I can attend on March 23. At this moment little to early to say. Best Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myvalko Posted January 13, 2014 Share #18 Posted January 13, 2014 Hi There !! Greetings from Luxembourg. I am interested as well. Both dates work for me. Just to know that Saturday shops are open. More people in the street and interesting if you are coming with someone who is not interested in Photography (How is it possible ;-) A good starting point would be also Place du Marché aux Herbes (Grasmarkt). Really close to Grand Place and maint train station, with a lovely second hand market. Gallerie du Roi et de la Reine... Rue des bouchers... So, great time coming...

farnz Posted January 15, 2014 Share #20 Posted January 15, 2014 Goodness, the itinerary looks quite ambitious for a forum members' meeting. If you start at 09.30 and spend only half an hour getting to and staying at each venue then it'll be 6pm before you finish. And that's without stopping for lunch or other refreshments. Pete.
