[Xtincthed]

Hey everyone,

After a lot of work I'm proud to anounce that the 15th of january 2012 there will be a big Retro Gaming Convention in "Den Draai" in Deurne.
This convention in the south of the Netherlands is only a short ride from most parts of Holland and Belgium!
So after all the conventions in the north of Holland, there will finally be a convention in the south!

At the convention traders, resellers and collectors will display, trade and sell their retro games.
From MSX to Atari and Playstation 2 to Gamecube, anything you'd want will be there.
With more then 150 tables of gaming goodness and an arcade event this will be a convention you don't want to miss!

The information
- Location: Den Draai, Blasiusstraat 2, 5754 AV, Deurne (Zijlberg)
- Time: 10.00 - 16.00
- Entrance fee: 2 euro (kids below 12 are free with a supporting adult)

As a retro retailer, I would love to go to this but I don't speak a word of Dutch! Any tips about that?

Holland is an international country, nearly everyone at the convention will speak atleast basic english so the language should not be a problem at all :)

I've seen foreign retailers at Dutch conventions before and they never had any troubles

Contact me if you're interested in some space!

[Xtincthed]

there is no bus that has a stop at the convention, but you can take the train to station Deurne. After that it's a 10 minute walk (and there will be signs to point you in the correct direction)

Update:

- The game for the arcade contest is now set: Super Street Fighter IV! There will be great prices for the winners!
