Meetups Belgium
1

City/region: Ghent
Date: august 19 will be moved to november
Time: 13.00
Meetup place: Gent X: mail sorting center.

**moved to november 4
is canceled due to the strict COVID regulations within Bpost.
At the moment it is still impossible to organize a “normal” visit.

Timetable:
Meeting: around 12 o’clock at the station for people who come by train
12:45 at the mail sorting center in Wondelgem, Industrieweg 30.

1 pm we can eat something in the company restaurant of Bpost.

vol au vent met frietjes en slaatje 5 €
Steak met frietjes en slaatje 6.5€
catch of the day (fish) 6.5 €
dagsoep 0.65 €
diverse broodjes

Afterwards we start signing and stamping our cards.
We get (in between) a presentation and later a tour in the mail sorting center.
The activity of the center starts around 5pm when the first mailbags arrive.
The intention is that we also see our postcards processed in this way at the start of their journey around the world.
I think the end will be around 6pm.

Bpost requests that the group should not exceed 20 participants

Dear Luk,

@EdithK maybe also something for you?

Hallo Luk, even een vraagje. Gaat dit door? Zo ja, wij zijn effectief met 2 personen: Soraya en mezelf. (aangezien er maar 20 plaatsen per groep zijn).
