When a big name like Eric Sophie comes for a visit, you've got to show him a warm welcome. And nothing says welcome more than packing him, your wife, 2 cats, the dog, and yourself into the car for a vet visit. Many thanks for the extra hands, Eric. (...)

(...) Eric's on the road again. He just left my place, headed for Felix Greco's. We went and had dinner with my mom and sister last night, and knocked a few back at my local tavern. Good times with good people. And to Ruth, you've got quite the son. (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon, FTX)

Now it also happens that NWBC has some "after hours" time where (...) (23 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.events.nwbrickcon)

I guess your best bet is an email to this address: info@vvvzwolle.nl VVV in the Netherlands is Tourist Information. They can probably answer your questions.
