Let's have a vote where we go, everyone can vote multiple times, but pls. don't misuse that ability and only vote once for every option you prefer and only vote if you're considering to join the meeting.

If you're OK with all three, vote for all of them once, if you only prefer two of the three just vote for those two and if you have one clear preference just vote for that option alone.

Possible dates are still okt 3, 24 or 31.

All other comments can be posted below.

I have never ever been to Dordrecht so would like that a lot.. but Woudrichem en Slot Loevestein or the steamtrain (Gouda would be a backyard location for me ) are fine to - my vote is Dordrecht.

I have put all dates available - so if you cut/past and put your name on the dates we can take the one with the most votes.

Thanks for voting Arnold and Jet,

I forgot to add Luik and/or Antwerp to the poll, let me know if someone feels strong about adding a "Belgian option" . I think I can edit the poll if needed.

I can go by bike, because I live "under the smoke of Woudrichem"

But Luik and Antwerp are a possibility.

All dates fit me.

Dear Dyxum-beneluxers,

Steam??? - i see a beautiful large engine - with speed, wind, smoke, burning coal... An unforgettable event!

It's the only thing i need to make me feel a lot better!!!

Dear Pieter, thank you so much for adding that option.

I voted for Dordrecht as well, because I've been to the mill in Woudrichem today. A steam train, not my preferred subject, however smoke and steam seem attractive...

If possible, select more than one option. It's nice to have a spare one in case the weather is very bad on the first one.

Dear Pieter, thank you so much for adding that option.

There will be about 4 large steam engines under steam. Probably 3 in commuting cycle between Gouda and Rotterdam and a small one on which you can have a small run in the engine.
And at least one large engine more that is cold (due for renovation)

I will take a week of vacation next week (probably w/o or with very little internet) but pls. keep the comments and votes coming. Based on all I see and read when I'm back we can probably make a final decision on venue and date.

I'll decide as late as possible. Steam or the virus? Who may win? Cast your votes!

(as long as it's steam i'm in).

The dates are no issue at this moment. All dates are free.

And having two la-ea4r's version 4 + 5 (firmware) there's lots to try out!

What's the problem Pieter, I thought that you mostly think we move too slow and now you can't keep up

Looking at votes and when most people are available it seems oktober 3 in Dordrecht gets the majority (sorry Arnold and Ivo). So let's pencil that in and use oktober 24 in case we need a weather-delay.

For the train lovers no problem to "bolt on" a visit there on saturday oktober 2. I might do that anyway (depending on the weather) and will try to catch the train underway (for instance at the Tweede Tochtweg and/or when it crosses the Gouwekanaal) and visit the depot before or after.

Unless there are major objections I will close this poll/thread tomorrow and start a dedicated meeting thread for a Dordrecht meeting on oktober 3.

Depending on interest I will start another one for a steam train meeting saturday oktober 2, since it will be a lot more clean not to mix the two.
