https://www.dyxum.com/dforum/poll-for-november-19-20-benelux-meeting_topic141619.html - The Poll for the next Benelux meeting was very clear on location, Breda got more than double the votes vs. any of the other locations. The date was less clear but still a small preference for sunday november 20. Weather forecast for the 20th looks good at the moment, but of course it's still early. As normal we'll pick a place to start around 10:30/11:00 with a coffee +

More details to follow but here's a list of people who reacted/showed interest but pls. indicate by posting below if you want to participate for sure now that the final date/place are chosen and then I'll migrate it to a list of participants

I suggest we meet at 10:30 in the Starbucks of the Breda Railway station.

There's a parking garage there and also easy for people who want to come with public transport. From the station it's a short walk to the city center and several other interesting places.

Enjoy anyway!

The First Polish Armoured Division liberated Breda in 1944 and there is a https://www.tracesofwar.com/sights/61702/Where-is-Memorial-Soldiers-Liberation-Breda-by-the-First-Polish-Armoured-Division.htm - memorial in Breda . So, I am sure there will be some pictures

To get them into the mood: remembering the Polish contribution during operation Market Garden a.k.a. the Battle of Arnhem or A Bridge to Far in 2019:

Most welcome Mariusz, and there are indeed traces of the Polish liberating Breda:

Post now approved, we have a lot of trouble with spammers using the goo.gl somewhere in their links so we've put that on the "bad word list" so posts with this syntax need approval to keep the spammers off the forum.

Good idea, last week sunday looked much better, now the dry day shifted to saturday.

I can move to saturday, no problem.

I propose to wait a few more days before taking a final decision, the weather forecast can still change. How about we look at it thursdayevening and decide then, until then we keep both days as an option and pick what looks the best then.

Good plan. If it is raining cats and dogs, a meeting will not be ideal.

The bad news is that now the forecast (buienradar.nl) expects rain for saturday and sunday

But the good news is that for saturday they predict 4,2 mm falling between midnight and 10 am and the rest of the day is predicted to be dry (but no sun)

Sunday they predict in total 9,3 mm and falling at 11 am and then from 2 - 6 pm.

So I propose that we plan our meeting saturday november 19 and we meet at 10:30 in the Starbucks of the "central" Breda Railway station and take it from there.

I still remember our meeting in Haarlem (2019) which was also predicted to be rainy, but it turned out to be a beautiful day, and being an eternal optimist I plan to be there on saturday, even if they predict the rain stopping a bit later.

Pls. keep following this thread for any possible updates, you never know if the forecast completely swaps, but the base plan is now for saturday and I have updated the title of this thread to reflect that.

There is no bad weather, only bad clothing
Keep in mind a serious chill factor is predicted as well. See you on Saturday!

If it is very rainy and cold it will be very uncomfortable for my friend in her scootmobiel. Besides that she is a slow starter.
I think it will be a last minute decision for us. But without other notice we will be there. If we are later or not able to come - I have Pieters whatsapp so I will text.

That's fine Jet, I understand that if you can't walk to keep you warm it will be a lot less comfortable. Also, if you decide to come later you can WhatsApp or call me and we can tell you where we are at that moment.

Don't forget your sunscreen, sunshine developing to over 70% during the day

But wind chill looks quite cold (-4 C to start the day) so dress warm.

BTW, when you come by car, note that parking is about €2,50-3,00 per hour.

As an alternative, go to P+R Prinsenbeek, take the 10:17 train to Arnhem/Nijmegen, get out in Breda and that will cost you only €2,50 per travel and parking is free. I'll go for this one...
