It's a bit far for me as well and with the passing away of my dad past august I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I think I won't be able to make it to the Heerde-meet/expo.
Those are fully open events, this means open to all who want to join. The rumor that those are privat en close meetings is just a rumor.
Well, not closed or privat but I do feel left aside by a (very) few people who are usually involved in those meets. (I'm not referring to you!)
If I hadn't found & joined the BE-NL playmogroup on FB, I would still be in the dark about the meets. Since about a year-and-a-half or more I hear nothing from those few with whom I had personal contact (friendship?
