Speedcubing in Belgium

[Goosly]

Hi Belgian cubers

I'll be hosting a meetup for all interested Belgian cubers early September.
If you would like to join, please go to this doodle and check the days you are able to come, so I can decide for a date.

Meeting place: station Gent-Dampoort
By train, Gent is directly reachable from important cities as Ostend, Antwerp and Brussels. Gent-Dampoort also has a rather large parking area.
When everyone has arrived, we will head for my student room, which is a ~10 minute walk (if there's too many people showing up, I'll try to find another place).

Further (more detailed) information will follow later, as soon as we've found a date fitting for most people.

 

[CommaYou]

I might be able to do this
I think i can go at all those dates, but i'm not sure

 

[Cubenovice]

I might attend if there are some more "old" cubers...
Being a 36 year old cuber I'd rather skip a teenager cube gathering.

 

[Goosly]

Haha, I see
I don't think we have much cubers in Belgium that are older than, let's say, 25.

More information

So, it seems rather obvious that our meetup will be held on sunday 18th september (see the doodle above).
Apparently there will not be much people arriving by train. Therefor, we can skip the meet-at-Gent-Dampoort-part and just gather at my student room. Everyone is welcome from 13h00 (depending on the arrival of your train, you can off course drop in a bit sooner or later ).

Address:
According to Google maps, this is 1.2 km from the train station Gent-Dampoort.
If you come by car, be aware that there are a lot of one-way streets in the neighborhood.

Hi Manu,

I will only know this evening if I will be able to join tomorrow.
As I am a slowcuber I cannot share tips on how to get faster but I can share some stuff on FMC, commutators and Human Thistlethwaite (if some one is interested).

 

[brunovervoort]

i will be there tomorrow too, probably, and i really wonna learn commutaters and some tips for FMC. So, i'll see you tomorrow?

Aw, I haven't been on the forums for a long time.
I just saw this thread today. -,-

Can I still come tomorrow?

 

[Cubenovice]

I'll be there!

See you this afternoon.

 

[Goosly]

@Eleredo, sure you can
@Cubenovice, I know just as much about commutators as about Belgian politics (so that's about nothing), I'd love to get some information on them

Well, it will be a bit crowded in here, as I expected 11 people, and now there might be 15 people coming. I guess we'll need another location for the next meetup.

 

[Eleredo]

That's great! I'm a noob though. Which cubes do I bring?

 

[Goosly]

Your speed doesn't really matter. If you don't have more than 50 cubes, bring them all
Are you from Gent?

 

[Eleredo]

Ok then. Nah, I have eight cubes hah.
No, I'm from Zottegem so that's about 26 km. for me.

 

[Eleredo]

The meetup was awesome! This was actually the first time I went to a cube meet-up and it was a great experience. I'm looking forward to any other meet-ups that may follow in the future.

Thanks again for everything (and for the GuHong you sold me, it's way better than my F-II )

Two cubes left

So, apparently someone forgot his/her V-cube 7 :fp (I'll probably go to Amstelveen and Dutch Open, so you can get it back there.)

There also was a broken Rubik's 2x2x4 left: Marco fixed it (with some effort) and it works perfectly, but somebody else took Marco's 2x2x4 home by accident. :confused: Anyone got more information on this?

 

[Eleredo]

I almost got a heart attack reading that, I quickly checked my bag.
It looks like it isn't my 7x7, and there's no 2x2x4 here either.

 

[CommaYou]

I have 2 2x2x4s with me, so that's probably marco's :s
sorry

 

[Goosly]

Ok, don't forget bringing them to Dutch Open then

 

[brunovervoort]

the V-cube 7 is mine
i'll go to dutch open. So can you give it to me there?
sorry for this

 

[Goosly]

No problem, I'll bring it to Dutch Open
