Again it will be very busy in the ports.</div> <div> Concerning the payment: this has to be done by the Treasurer. On all occasions I booked for maximum of 56 persons.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Concerning local guidance: It is very easy to arrange this for the members theirselves. The town of Veere is rather small (you cannot get lost) and Middelburg is easy to visit as well. In all hotels we found maps and suggestions at the reception.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Taxis or minibusses will be arranged for the trip in the evening of wendesday for around 19 members. </div> <bR> <div> On thursday it is easy and cheap to travel by regular bus from trainstation to Veere. There is only one riskfaktor: there is one bus per hour.</div> <div>  </div> <div> So far so good.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <B>Welcome at the Gathering!</b></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>22.05.2010</b></div> <div> We are most honoured, as the widow of Maurits van Wassenaer has accepted our invitation and will attend the 2010 Banjers Gathering.

Midweek after August 15 hollidays are already ending, which means that it ‘ll be agreeable.</div> <div> In October 2008 we organised a little reunion/reconnoitring expedition with our club, in Veere (see pictures). Veere is a small but very nice and interesting medieval town (as is Middelburg), very suited to have a gathering of 10-20 Banjers.</div> <div> Kind regards</div> <div> Frank</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="133e32660.jpg" border=0 width="818" height="614" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></b></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="812" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 338 WIDTH="800"><div> <B>12.03.2009</b></div> <bR> <div> The chosen places have been <B>Middleburg</b> and <B>Veere</b>, because, as Leader<B> Dees de Smet</b> explains:</div> <bR> <div> "Starting from saturday 14 th august convoys from the north have 3 days to travel to Middelburg.</div> <div>  Starting from Friday the 20 th august the convoys have 3 days to return.</div> <div>  Tuesdays wendesdays and Thursdays ports , restaurants etc.are easier to book than weekends</div> <div>  In previous editions of the Gathering, on the last evening many members had to leave because of work on   Monday.
