[CharlieCooper]

man do i wish i lived in the netherlands

 

[MTGjumper]

5+ real competitions a year, and random meet ups? I envy the Netherlands...

 

[AvGalen]

We should do this more often..... and we will. There will be another meeting on new years day+eve+night+"day-after". I propose doing a new years dive as well, but so far I had no positive reactions to this from other cubers

More details can be discussed here, on MSN, or by phone

And Charlie: You had your invitation to come live in The Netherlands but for some reason you choose the UK:confused:

The meeting was a lot of fun and I finally got to meet all the other members of the Valk-family.

* Ron was really happy that he beat Mats on both 4x4x4 and 5x5x5
* Mats proved that he is saving himself for the finals by doing another 14.xx in the first round and later another 12.xx in the final
* Ron, Joel and Erik all held the Dutch NR for 3x3x3 single
* ..... Mats might be one of the only people in The Netherlands that might ever join that list (beating Eriks 7.08)
* ..... I thaught I was funny when I said that I might break it as well IF I ever learned all the PLL's
* ..... Erik crushed all my hopes by pointing out that it isn't necessary to know any PLL in order to break the WR

And then there were some random discussions about 1000's of cubes, the next time we would meet, the next World Championship, religion, chicken-vs-egg (I still say rooster, then chicken from the roosters rib, then egg) and many other things that occupy our minds

 

[Joël]

In addition, i'd like to add:

* Joël and Erik practiced a few feet solves.

 

[Hakan]

The meeting was fun! I've finally proven myself to be sub 20 in the first round of 3x3x3 Also, I beat Joel at 5x5 three times during practice (But he hadn't practiced for weeks, so)

Another funny thing: Ron was doing a 5x5 solve, and I declared it a DNF. "Why?" he asked, while he was talking to Arnaud. I responded: "WCA regulations state the competitor is not allowed to talk to anyone during the solve, except the judge"
