Also on the day of the meetup we will have a pirate phone in case you do get lost and need help. The phone number will be sent in the e-mail.
Dates
The meetup is from Friday 14th of August until Monday the 17th of August. We have also booked a mid week extension for those who want to stay a bit longer going from Monday 17th of August until Friday 21st of August.
You can also only book the mid week in case you don't want to stay the weekend ;)
Cost
This year we will need a deposit of €75,- to secure your spot and an additional €25,- cash upon arrival per pirate attending. If you are staying both the weekend AND midweek we will need a deposit of €125,- and an additional €75,- cash upon arrival or €30,- a day cash if you only want to join us for 1 or 2 days.
Please bear in mind that we have limited bunk space. So the sooner you make the deposit the sooner your spot will be secured.
Refunds
The reason we ask for a deposit is so we can plan our meetup spending ahead of time, reserve our accommodation and to help us know how many people will be attending. If you have paid the deposit and then realize you cannot attend, we will try to refund you the deposit, but we cannot guarantee it. Be especially careful if you're paying a deposit for someone else - make sure they can pay you the deposit even if they end up not attending.

We are all well aware of COVID-19 and what this could mean for group gatherings. the Netherlands has gone on a slight lock down. Schools, restaurants and sporting clubs have all closed down for the time being, however The Prime Minister has assured us the country won't be going on a full lock down and won't be restricting travel. so for now the meet-up is NOT going to be canceled :D
We are however implementing some stricter hygiene rules that will need to be followed.
- no shaking hands.
- wash your hands before handling and/or consuming any food.
- wash your hands after going to the bathroom. (which you should already have been doing)
- take a shower at least once every 2 days.
- we reserve the right to send you home if you are unable to follow these hygiene rules.
- we will be providing plenty of soap and hand sanitizer.
Registration
We have a registration form, which is super easy to fill out and helps us to work out how many people we're likely to have attend - as well as making sure we can accommodate any requirements you may have.
If you have any other questions, please post them on the forum thread.
