Right, unless there is any objection from the local group, I think that
SuperBob's suggestion made earlier in this thread makes sense....

If we meet at De Zotte, from around
5 pm, those that would like to have a meal can do so and of course the pre-gig drinks. I phoned tonight and reserved a big enough table.

If you walk past the Melkweg on the way to the De Zotte, it might be a good idea to pick up the membership cards before the queuing starts.
The after party, I'll leave for the locals to decide.
The Melkweg stays open for awhile but I'm not sure if there will be any parties going on after Queen's Day?
here we go again....
