Since no other restrictions have been reported so far my proposal would be to pencil in the weekend of 3/4 september 2022 as our top option. For those of you that don't plan so far in advance there's no problem putting it on your calendar a few month from now when your planning horizon starts including september 2022 @japo Where do you live now and would it make sense to get together some time before to plan a more detailed schedule and route to walk? as long as you do not actually walk in the city at this moment..😊.. There are to many Dutch people there already at the moment, avoiding their own lockdown measures in The Netherlands: https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/12/antwerps-governor-urges-dutch-visitors-to-stay-away-during-lockdown/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef63 Posted January 4, 2022 Share #26 Posted January 4, 2022 Exiting ! I live in and near Antwerp for more than 35 years. This could be an unusual place to visit : https://ruien.be/en/ And if there is interest I can organise (if the venue calendar allows it) a backstage and behind the scenes tour in one of the oldest and certainly the largest concert & rock temple of Europe : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportpaleis. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjans Posted January 5, 2022 Share #27 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I also live close to the city of Antwerp, approx. 15 minutes by public transport. Already took a note in my agenda. It would be nice to meet other forum members. Not far from the MAS is the Red Star Line Museum: https://www.redstarline.be/en Edited January 5, 2022 by rjans 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegelli Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share #28 Posted January 5, 2022 I feel a pre-meeting is in the air to prepare the route and places to visit during the big meeting, I never knew there were so many forum members near Antwerp. That's great! What do you think about that @rjans, @Stef63 and @japo, probably somewhere March/April when the weather gets a bit better and we're closer to the september date. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberti Posted January 16, 2022 Share #31 Posted January 16, 2022 Hi Pieter, yes I would like to join too and had been looking forward to this event. I am free for now in my agenda. The MAS is a great starting point, everyone can have their own bubble if needed 😗 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks japo, don't know about the others but then early may might be better for a prep meeting. I'm out of the country from late may until mid june so that leaves a nice window to get together and make a plan. Assuming we want to do this on a weekend how about may 7, 8, 14 or 15? How do any of these dates look to the Antwerp locals? NOTE to all potential participants, this is just planning a preparation meeting with the Antwerp locals (rjans, Stef63, japo and pegelli), the main get together is still planned for september 3/4 Edited January 16, 2022 by pegelli 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegelli Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share #36 Posted March 13, 2022 @analogM, no formal decision but I've always assumed it to be a 2 day event (the whole weekend). But it might be that not everybody will show up for both days, we'll see. At least I am keeping the whole weekend free. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
