Belgian GTG

Belgian GTG !
Hi guys, who would be up for a drink in the evening on friday the 22th of November.
Brussels of Ghent? Any suggestions?
Who's IN/OUT

[D77]

Hello Belgian Fanatics !
Hi Steve!
22nd of november will be the date when I fly back to Belgium !!!
Would it be possible to postpone that ?
If not then I can try to attend by requesting a sooner return date at the HR dept of the company. But I will definitely say 'IN'

For me Brussels sounds fine.
I suggest a place located in a "secured" and quiet area with easy parking.

Im open to all suggestions too !

(thanks Steve for the initiative)


ps: guys, let me suggest this restaurant, been there with the girlfriend last weekend and it was really nice:

Would friday evening 29th of November be a better date guys?
only drinks ... or aperitif and dinner? (the suggested resto looks good to me, thanks Karim)

[D77]

29th of november is perfect for me and I would definitely prefer dinner. I like to discover new places for food and wine, so Im open for suggestions from other members too !
I will be reading the topic when flying out of the country, so guys please make suggestions !

Regards !

[steveclocks]

[steveclocks]

Karim, there doesn't seem to be much interest in a Belgian GTG.

Thanks Kev, not sure if this is coming off the ground here!
We'll better meet at the London summer GTG again

Hi Geert,

Sorry for my late reaction!
I ment to react sooner, but lost track of time due to a very busy period at work.
I would love to get together, so let me know where and when and I will make sure to adapt my schedule to accommodate!

Talk to you soon!
Zoran

[steveclocks]

Is now friday 29th of November still ok guys? Or do we move the date?

[Jonathan007]

You lucky lot you!

One of my favourite places to sit and unwind!

Enjoy everyone

[Suprageex]

Just saw this, would definately be interested to join! Brussels is fine, so is the 29th, would prefer something that's secure though :). Don't know how secure you guys feel at the Grand Place, don't come there very often.

[steveclocks]

Guys shall we meet on the Grand Place first and have a drink there? then we can go to the suggested restaurant if that's ok for everyone?

[steveclocks]

what time do you guys suggest?

[Suprageex]

I'm free from 1PM & onwards!


Just for the sake of proposing an alternative (by no means am I trying to alter the planning, Geert! ;) ) : the Loui bar at the Conrad hotel on the av. Louise is wonderful aswell!

[steveclocks]

I am free the whole day friday so..... shall we meet up in the afternoon for a coffee already? what do you think. I don't mind the bar at the Conrad Hotel. Probably a bit more relaxing too

I am a bad photographer, but I'll do my best. Maybe one of the other guys is better at it!

[Robbyvm]

Huy guys,
just received the link to this post by Suprageex (thanks for that )
i'm very interested in meeting some belgian rolex fanatics so this is a great initiative !
unfortunatly the evening of the 29th is full but i could come to the Carlton bar in the afternoon to meet up...

for me only vintage rolex does it but i don't think that's a problem ?

[steveclocks]

No problem Suprageex and myself will be in Brussels in the afternoon anyway

[Robbyvm]

ok, please send me the detail for this GTG and i will be there

[Suprageex]

BTW guys, I just remembered that the Carlton hotel has changed to Steigenberger. Bar has stayed the same, just some info for those attending that are unfamiliar with Brussels.

[steveclocks]

So guys, to be clear:
We'll start in the afternoon (Robby want to meet up, but has to leave us early) Around 15h at the Steigenberger Hotel (Former Carlton Hotel) at the Av. Louise in Brussels. You can imagine we'll be in the bar

[steveclocks]

see you guys in a couple of hours

[Jorssen]

cr@p, just noticed this thread... would have loved to join...

Is this the 1st Belgian GTG? If not, how often do you guys get together?
