[Leica] Benelux LUG meeting sept. 17th

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

We're with 3 ATM: Michiel, Nathan and myself.
Any other Belgian/Dutch folks wanting to attend are very welcome, ofcourse

I'll organise free parking spots at the meeting point: just drive into the
parking at the right hand below the building. I'll provide you with free
parking cards to get back out at the end of the day.
I also can organise breakfast in a nice place nearby, if you folks want to.

Etc.

If you're interested, I can also organise a (3 hr.) visit to the Ruien, the

definitely Noctilux stuff.
Or

enthousiasts.

Anybody else?
