BeNDeLux-Weekend on Asterix & Obelix style? Sounds great!! Since AC 2009 we know that Kristof has already a cool costume for the party ;)
I hope that I can join :spin:

Judith - 24-11-2009 at 01:18

sounds great! good luck, organizers!!! :)

Thijs - 24-11-2009 at 02:00

Sounds great, count me in! (I wouldn't want to miss a Bendeluxweekend!)

Hmm, I wonder if we will see Obelix during the weekend... ;)

Krava - 24-11-2009 at 09:14

Je veux aller!!!!)))))

Arianne - 24-11-2009 at 11:38

yeah kristof wants to win the award again for best dressed. but thijs' avatar somehow reminds me of obelix as well. this could become a harsh competition: 'which entity delivers the best obelix?'

Nici - 24-11-2009 at 11:54

Cool! Hope I can join :)

Mireia - 24-11-2009 at 13:09

Landryn - 24-11-2009 at 16:14

I don't want to jinx but I probably will be there :) of course if you will accept me :)

Krist - 24-11-2009 at 16:20

Just to make this thing very clear: I did not choose the theme!! I didn't even like it ;) It's not like I want to win everything every time desperately again... I'm not from Utrecht you know ;)

Arianne - 24-11-2009 at 17:12

no need to defend yourself kristof. it's okay to have a winners mentality. no need to be ashamed ;)

Samantha - 24-11-2009 at 18:41

Krist - 24-11-2009 at 21:09

Timson - 25-11-2009 at 16:30

How many people can participate? Didn't see it on the site, or i just didn't read it.
I guess the strongest people get a place for sure? Asterix and Obelix style!

ingewiekenkamp - 25-11-2009 at 16:39

hey, sounds nice! I registered!

Krist - 25-11-2009 at 16:49

On the site itself it wasnt mentioned yet, thanks for noticing. We have place for 72 participants! Never thought we would reach that amount, but if I see your enthusiastic responses, we might make this event bigger than a regional congress ;)

shoekes - 25-11-2009 at 22:36

No Bendelux without this rocker!

Alex_W - 25-11-2009 at 23:29

I'm registered!! :) But the form didn't want my nick... :?

Vivi - 26-11-2009 at 16:07

probably because of the german "ä"s _O-

By car it is a bit more then 450km to Oudenaarde :)

btw: great theme and great graphics ^O^^O^^O^

Krist - 26-11-2009 at 17:00

yes it must be the umlauts! Why do Germans always have to be difficult ;)
And I promise you that 450km of driving will absolutely be worth it! especially because you can come earlier and stay longer!

Alexandros_Briasoulis - 27-11-2009 at 14:46

be carefull all of you!!!
i just found today in a very small tavern in north Athens a very powerfull bottle of a juice...i think it's the famous magic juice!!
so...the hellenic group will cut off the expenses...we will come by a small boat and we will use our legs instead of a machine, like Obelix!( i will be in front like Asterix, because i am the clever one of the Hellenic group!hahahaha!!)

Alexandros_Briasoulis - 28-11-2009 at 00:22

Of course it was!!!great job from all of the Romanian people!we are looking forward, after we found the new Egea Athens as a club to make a
Hellenic-Romanian or Athens-Timisoara exchange!

That's the least you can say Angelo! I'm almost getting scared of your enthousiasm! *)
Didn't know Asterix was so popular in Greece? Or does everybody want to visit the country of the first president of Europe ^O^

Thijs - 1-12-2009 at 20:16

nah, don't think so Kristof

probably just to see the 'so you think you can dance' winner Els dancing around :)

Wendy - 2-12-2009 at 01:00

Vivi - 16-1-2010 at 01:05

A less serious note, today some not newbie members signed up for that weekend ^O^ ;)

edit: of corse I mean yesterday... :P

Frederic - 16-1-2010 at 01:30

Wow. 134. That's almost twice the amount of available places. Thanks everyone! We'll have a participantslist up as soon as we receive all priority lists.

Oh, actually I thought that was number 3, so.... :Y

Erik - 18-1-2010 at 13:51

I just send the priority list to your e-mail adress. I'm last on the list :N

Frederic - 18-1-2010 at 17:37

Bummer! I noticed that people who subscribed later were generally higher on the list -> maybe you should've mixed the raffletickets better and you'd be higher :)

The first five people are newbie members, so they can enjoy EGEA for the first time during the Bendeluxweekend. The price i pay is therefore one for the future of Groningen :9

you also can convince all the people from the other entities not to come, so there is place available for all the 15 groningers. We didn't suspected so many registrations. I knew that the lotery for Groningen (for WRC and BDLX) was not a really happy event :s.

Maybe you should ask people from other entities not to come, because they will listen to one of the organisers :P:)

Wendy - 18-1-2010 at 18:55

Not me, I don't have any authority

Frederic - 18-1-2010 at 20:09

Cool. Do I?

If we would have to ask people from other entities not to come, then I'd ask that to one particular nationality. And the one I'd choose would not be a solution for you, Erik.

Hi,

the payment deadline is 31th of Januar.

IBAN: BE07 7350 2362 7366
BIC: KREDBEBB

Please mention your full name and entitity.
If you want to be sure that I received your confirmation before the deadline, you can send me a mail
(I am the treasurer of the Bendelux weekend)
my mail adress is wuytswendy@hotmail.com
You also can send a mail to the official adress, but
for me it's very handy also to receive the mail ;)

Until the 4th of Februar you can contact me.
From the 5th until the 14th Krist (Kristof) is responsible, but that's more interesting for the people on the waiting list (the second round of payment).

BettinaWittek - 20-1-2010 at 20:02

Yiipiie! (:

Timson - 21-1-2010 at 11:07

Why are Leuven and Utrecht above Groningen? -no offense- , but it's different for the RC's, and can't be because of the amount of subscriptions of these 3 entities.

I am not sure, but I think Tom will give a better explanation, is because we did some adaptations to the official RC ranking list: Bendelux is not the same as a RC, so we could change the ranking list a little bit.
Our faculty and student's council gave us also support, but the condition was that Leuven should be first on the ranking list.
About Groningen I don't know.

Kristel - 21-1-2010 at 13:32

That's right Wendy!

About Utrecht: they were the 2009 organisers, that's why we've put them above Groningen.
(there is no protocol for BDL, so we decided this was fair..)

Samantha - 21-1-2010 at 16:23

Number 27.. I cross my fingers and hope to get a place!

Zwammer - 22-1-2010 at 12:09

Why are Athens, La Rochelle, Ljubljana, Kyiv and Barcelona above Leuven, Utrecht and Groningen??
I thought the Bendelux weekend was for people who are from the Bendelux countries!? :?:(

Kristel - 22-1-2010 at 12:31

Don't worry! Bendelux entities are on top. ;)

It's just a coincidence that the waiting list starts with the other ones..

Frederic - 22-1-2010 at 17:42

Waiting list will be updated every night (or at least almost every night).

Until this sunday, we will continuously replace cancellations. Then we'll wait until the payment deadline (January 31) to make a new 'switch' between cancellations and people from the waiting list, repeating this twice troughout february. The last week we'll use the infamous 'last-minute-placing'-system.

Lisettell - 23-1-2010 at 17:13

oeh.. place 37 on the waiting list.. :(

We only have a few mountain bikes left, so actually it would be better if you still sent the money now. That way you are sure there is a bike for you!

To get in the right atmosphere:

&feature=related

Another 10days before the pre-Bendelux starts! It's time to start to sharp your swords and to practice the archery!

And especially for Krikke:

&feature=related

Samantha - 1-3-2010 at 12:27

Looking forward! Just a few more nights...

Krist - 1-3-2010 at 17:48

To bring you in the mood: Watch the full movie ''Asterix and the Vikings' on Youtube. It teaches you everything you need to know before you can come to the Bendeluxweekend: how to become a warrior, how to defend against intuders, how to party,...
This part reminds you how to defeat a Roman Camp again! Just classic )*
(BTW. It seems that 'Olaf' is a Viking-name...)

&NR=1

Wendy - 2-3-2010 at 17:43

Check mail box
Normally you have a mail with all the information: how to get there, what to bring...
Bring old clothes which you can throw away, because I don't believe that you will not wear them ever ever again ;)

Samantha - 3-3-2010 at 13:43

Me too!

sven - 3-3-2010 at 14:26

If you need some help:

Lisette, maybe you could be the perfect Madame Agécanonix... you just need to find your own Agécanonix... another option could be Bonemine (Bellefleur) of cousre *)

Samantha, I bet nobody will be Eponine so far...

If someone else need some help... the orga-team is ready to help you :spin: :Y

Wendy - 3-3-2010 at 15:13

or you can play a Viking girl, a girl from the Roman Empire, a pirate, a boar, a Ancient Greek girl, Laetitia (the black haired actress who has to dress herself like Walhalla to seduce Asterix)...

or Idefix, the dog.

Lisettell - 3-3-2010 at 15:20

Hey Wendy.. your avatar is Madame Agecanonix, right??
I was looking for some images on the internet.. :P

Frederic - 3-3-2010 at 17:10

If you girls still have problems finding an outfit, the following might help you: recent scientific research reported the climate to be locally rather warm 2000 years ago around Belgica (Ermens et al 2008). Woman consequently didn't wear to many clothes, and were often just dressed in bikinis. Men had to hunt and needed to wear protective and thick clothing, so no solution for you there gentlemen ;)

Yes, she has not really a name, but her husband has a lot of names like Agecanonix, Geriatrix, Nestorix, that old little man that always want to join Asterix and Obelix on their adventures, but she forbids him, because he's too old. She has no name, so far I know.

So, in fact, I need someone to play mister Agecanonix.

Not yet, but very soon! Last minute places will be announced and need to be claimed by mail. I estimate this announcement to arrive in the waitinglist people's mailboxes not later then tomorrow... So keep an eye on that folks! And yes it seems that we will distribute 3 more places

Samantha - 4-3-2010 at 18:24

Good for those last people on the waiting list!

Zwammer - 4-3-2010 at 18:35

There still some clouds around one place, but we'll get that sorted out soon - and then it'll be full.

BettinaWittek - 9-3-2010 at 18:10

Hey guys,
for those who come by car: is there a parking place near to the meeting point? Or should we park at another place?
Excited greetings from Bonn! :)

Sven, I think Bettina means the meeting point in Brussels, since she is attending the Pré-Bendelux...

sven - 9-3-2010 at 20:07

Aha, sorry...

Hmm, there's always some parking space nearby, you just have to find it...

I would suggest to (if you use a GPS) go to 'oude graanmarkt' and try to find a spot overthere... for sure you will find one there. But of course you can also use 'grote markt' (= the meeting place), and try to find a place a bit closer...

BettinaWittek - 9-3-2010 at 20:49

Yes, sorry. I was thinking about the meeting point in Brussel.
Okay, than we will search a parking space nearby. ;)

Alex_W - 9-3-2010 at 23:25

Hey Guys,

I won't be able to join the pre- and also the after-event. :N
Really sorry to miss those days (especially the brewery :beer: )!!

Anyway, see you all on Friday!

Pietro - 10-3-2010 at 14:18

Sven, I've sent a message to you...
I will arrive to the pre bendelux!*)

Rink - 10-3-2010 at 18:19

@Bettina: I don't know about parking costs andsoon in Brussels Centre as I always use a bike, public transport or a parking place of my work, but you can park your car for free at the National Geographic Institute at any time of the day at Abdij Ter Kameren (13) and take from there a tram (94) or bus (71). If you decide to park at the Abdij I could personally guide you to the nearest bus/tramstop - if you text me in advance (till the end of the afternoon) - and then to the centre.

The last ride back on Thursday by bus (71) from Brouckère (centre) 0:19, get off at Geo Bernier. Or by tram (94, direction Buyl) from either Park, Paleizen, Koning, Kleine Zavel, or Poelaert at 0:50, get off at Ter Kameren - Ster.

If you decide to park there I could personally guide you to the nearest bus/tramstop when you text me (till the end of the afternoon) and then to the centre.

The last ride back on Thursday by bus (71) from Brouckère (centre) 0:19, get off at Geo Bernier. Or by tram (94, direction Buyl) from either Park, Paleizen, Koning, Kleine Zavel, or Poelaert at 0:50, get off at Ter Kameren - Ster.

Hehe, we will probably make it a bit later on Thursday night :cool:

In the streets around the place I mentioned earlier you can find free parking spaces. Good luck with Brussels traffic :spin:

BettinaWittek - 10-3-2010 at 20:26

Eeehh, I don't want to drive thursday night!
Wouldn't it be wise to park at my sleeping place? :P
Anyway we will make it! See you tomorrow!

Hey,

Don't worry... you won't have to drive on Thursday night :spin: :beer: :spin:

That's why it's better to park your car at the place I told you, that way you can leave immediately after the friday-afternoon activity ;)

Depending on the place where you will speel, you either have to walk, or I will drop you off at your sleeping place ;)

Zwammer - 10-3-2010 at 23:23

I've a question for the organisers of the pre-event..

Tomorrow we will meet at the Grand Place with all our luggage. Is there a possibility to bring the luggage to the hosts? Because otherwise I've all my luggage with me during the pub crawl..

That has been arranged :Y

Zwammer - 10-3-2010 at 23:31

Ok, perfect :)

Felix - 11-3-2010 at 01:33

Do you know the situation next morning when you forgot where you had parked your car the day before? :D i can tell you if you had been in two (or more) different towns its even worse to find it again... ;)

Anii - 11-3-2010 at 02:51

Hey all fellow villagers and Romans too!
I just thought, if anyone has too many old clothes they don't need, I could use some :spin: as I just moved and couldn't manage to get enough of them. especially pants would be nice. :) (I'm expecting some stupid joke here) :spin:
Tomorrow morning begins my journey through wild Germanian railways and we'll meet at grand market place then!

Erik - 11-3-2010 at 12:01

PJ and me made a gadget for the party on friday, the preparations have started.

Lisettell - 11-3-2010 at 14:03

Lisettell - 11-3-2010 at 15:50

Finally at home :) Thank you for this wonderfull Weekend with a lot of fun, party, nice people, water, sports, activities, group games. Among the really great impression about the Belgians as perfect organizers, partypeople and a lot more, this weekend leaves a great lack of sleep and, I'm afraid, some muscle ache. Thank you so much !!!!!

T0M - 14-3-2010 at 21:16

discosu - 15-3-2010 at 14:27

going back to normal after an EGEA event doesn't get easier.

I am back at my office....

Anyway, it was GREAT, I loved it, thank you organisers, thank you participants, I had a wonderful weekend!!!

discosu - 15-3-2010 at 14:30

oh and something else. since I was not smart enough to bring a camera, I am depending on everybody else who was able to take pictures... so I would be grateful for a lot of sharing

ChristianK - 15-3-2010 at 14:47

Back at work... :( I can definitely feel some sore muscles and still quite a lack of sleep, but at least my voice has returned to normal. So in other words: a perfectly organised and great event all around, thanks everyone!! :Y

Timson - 15-3-2010 at 14:54

Thanks organizers and participants for the great weekend!
The activities were really nice and the organization perfect, maybe Bendelux-weekend 2011 can be organised by Leuven and sven again? :P
See you all somewhere in Europe :)

Ps. Turning-team, next time i'll take revenge and make you sleep a night under your matress _O-

Arianne - 15-3-2010 at 14:54

Samantha - 15-3-2010 at 18:46

Thanks organizers for this great weekend! I had a lot of fun and drunk way too much :drunk: especially during the cantus (Thank you Arianne for getting us ' in de kan')

Vivi - 15-3-2010 at 19:00

And thanks to Alex for taking me savely to the train station. It was perfect timing.

Have fun in Leuven!!!

I can't find a bigger compliment for the orgateam...

So, a regular one:
Thank you Orgateam, great event! ^O^ :spin:

Next to that many compliments for having a group of over 50 persons walking/crawling/jumping over very small wooden sticks above a swamp! I bet at least half of the group fell in! :Y

sven - 15-3-2010 at 23:23

Nice statistics :) What large beer consumption.
And what about some gossips? We saw a lot of people standing outside together on Saturday :P

Ollie - 16-3-2010 at 21:07

Thanks a lot organizers!!
The ones who didn't go to the after-Bendelux missed a lot of great moments!

Now people in Belgium can go to work again to make new Cara pils. :)

Really nice pictures!!
Gi'me more :)

Felix - 16-3-2010 at 23:38

Thanks to everybody for this awesome 6 days in Belgium. Special thanks to the organisers and my hosts :)
Maybe the pics will help me to find back my lost memories... ;)

Samantha - 17-3-2010 at 18:00

Come on, there should be more pictures :)

Zwammer - 17-3-2010 at 18:50

Mine are on Facebook, but I guess everyone noticed that already ;)
But where are the gossips *)?

Maes - 17-3-2010 at 21:36

Bendelux was an amazing weekend. Hope to see all of you again on other Egea activities. Viva Egea!

Krist - 17-3-2010 at 21:43

Here are the ones of Hans. They are truly great boy^O^
And here are mine as well.

And about gossips? I heard multiple of stories of Saturday nite, confirmation somewhere?
Considering the After-Bendelux, I can tell you Felix scored at least a hattrick and when one of the galz dumped him afterward we took a nice collective revenge on her ;)

Anii - 17-3-2010 at 22:16

I also want to thank the organisers (and participants!) for a very great event!! I made it home (Berlin) safe despite the expired train ticket, but still haven't had enough sleep... :spin: I hope the one who borrowed me her towel found it in Oudenaarde! I left in such a hurry and didn't remember to find the owner. And the situation is not really getting better: in Bendelux weekend I went to shower without a towel. Yesterday I nearly left the house without shoes... :spin: I need more sleep!!
Btw really impressive statistics!! Good start for a Bachelor's thesis! ;)

and finally few words from me :)
I am on sick leave now because of the accident. I have dislocation of bones in my shoulder, some liquid leaked out in my elbow and need to reabsorb again and my wrist is just bruised. But I feel better and better and feel sick only because of sitting at home :P
anyway- the event was f*****g awesome ^O^
thank you once again for your great work. Belgium people prooves that even cheap beer in this country is very good :)
two private thanks:
- DJ- I think everybody agree that the music was perfect (to not participants- not because of trance songs:P)
- senior- combining cantus with BDC was a marvelous idea, and the realization _O_ _O-

once again thank you for a great event and hopefully see you soon somewhere (some of you dear participants for sure and very soon )* )

PS
and if sb found the black Sony Ericsson k800i please let me know- i really need the contacts from it :)

T0M - 20-3-2010 at 17:36
