International Meeting of Servas in The Netherlands

Lage Vuursche, The Netherlands

June 1 - 6, 2012

Join us for a week in the Netherlands!

We offer you a program of various activities and lots of fun in the Servas-spirit, above as well as below sea-level. There will be contributions from participants, invited speakers and activities in large and small groups, some pre-planned, and others spontaneous.  Be open and let yourself be surprised.

People from all continents and all ages are very welcome!

We will also give you a great insight into the Dutch countryside and crafts. We are traveling by bus and we will visit:

-        the Zaanse Schans: a historic village on the banks of the river Zaan with characteristic green wooden houses, charming stylized gardens, small hump-backed bridges, tradesmen's workshops and old windmills (www.zaanseschans.nl);

-        the world-known and biggest international trade centre for flowers and plants in Aalsmeer (www.floraholland.com);

-        the typical Dutch polder-landscape and the forests around the village Lage Vuursche near Utrecht and

-        Amsterdam with a broad selection of sightseeing choices led by Servas-members in small groups.

Our accommodation is a bit more than one hour away from Schiphol International Airport at Lage Vuursche. The accommodation is owned by an organization of nature-friends (NIVON) and located in a beautifully forested surrounding with a peaceful atmosphere (www.nivon.nl).

Costs and formalities:

The registration fee is € 220 per person (€ 150 under 12 years), including meals, lodging and bus transport for excursions.

We decided to make payment easier: Registration will be final, once the form is received and a deposit of € 120 is made before December 1^st.

We expect the remainder ( € 100 per person and € 30 under 12 years) to be paid (cash) while checking in on June 1, 2012 or earlier through international money-transfer.

If we have less than 50 payments on this date, we have – unfortunately – to cancel the meeting.
