The Details
The Dutch meetup is held in The Netherlands, and has been attended by pirates from all over the globe in the 7 years it has been held. On this page you'll find everything you'll need to know about this year's meetup.
Location
This year we're back in "Het Kruithuis" in Delft!
Directions
For ways to get to the closest trainstation "Delft-Zuid", check http://www.ns.nl This website is also available in English, and here you can plan your journey by train. If you can't work it out by yourself, please contact one of the Evil Planners to help you out.
From the trainstation its only a short walk to the Kruithuis which you can see in this useful linky.
If you're having trouble finding the place or if you're worried you might get lost and want to be picked up you can always call us at the piratephone: +31628183066
- Please note the piratephone will only be in use DURING the meetup, so calling it now is of no use.
Dates
The meetup is from 15th - 18th August. It's awesomest if you come play the whole weekend, but you're free to drop by for a day if you'd like. Ask us for the options.
Cost
For the past five years, there has been a 50 euro deposit, and another 50 euros paid at the meetup. The exact final cost is calculated near the end of the meetup, and any money left over is divided and returned to each attendee. We do not anticipate the total cost to be more than 100 euros.
Please bear in mind that we have limited bunk space this year. When you pay your deposit you secure a bunk, unless ofcourse you prefer to sleep seperated from all the madness, in which case you can bring a tent. When all the bunks are gone there is always an option to bring a tent aswell.
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.
Activities
It has been brought to our attention some pirates would like to pillage and plunder apart from the usual rum-drinking, docktarting and a selection of other generally lazy things we get up to.
No problem we thought!
So we have planned some activities for you:
- Saturday at 11am(ish) we wil lead a group of brave explorers into the dangerous and haunted streets of Delft.
- Saturday at around 3pm we will start dressing up as pirates for our feast of awesome.
- Sunday afternoon is the time to team up in the battle of the century! (aka the Rubber Ducky Ruckus)
- After we have caught out breath and taken care of the rubber duck casualties it's time for the raffle!
- And finally, after the big cleaning spree on monday morning we will go to Scheveningen beach as tradition dictates
NOTE - These activities are optional, we will not force you to do any of this. However, if you do not participate you may run the risk of being known as "Dull" "Mundane" "Humdrum" or any other synonym to boring.
What You Will Have to Bring
1) Sleeping bag AND Sheet and Pillow
2) Towels and such
3) Swimwear (optional, if the weather is nice we might have water related games)
4) Pirate outfit for Saturday!
5) Raffle item (optional, but very much appreciated)
6) Slippers (very highly recommended for shower use)
7) A tent if you prefer one (and everything that goes with it, like your own (air)matress)
8) A rubber ducky
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, from special diets to your favourite tipples.
