“Meet and Greet” in the “Getto“On Whitsunday, Gay Games VIII Cologne 2010 will carry out a “Meet and Greet” in the “Getto“in Amsterdam. The event is to demonstrate solidarity with the people from Amsterdam who held Gay Games V in 1998.
At these “Meet and Greet”, events which are held worldwide simultaneously, a team from Gay Games Cologne will present information about all the events planned for Gay Games VIII Cologne 2010. Leaders from Gay Games Cologne will answer questions on May, 23 at 15:00 in the “Ghetto” in Amsterdam. A visit to the “Meet and Greet” is worthwhile. With only one week before the registration ends (May, 31 2010), everyone who comes to the “MeetAndGreet” can count with a reduced registration fee.
“It would be especially nice for us, if numerous guests would come from our Dutch neighbourhood” says Sascha Hüllen, who is organizing the “MeetAndGreet” in Amsterdam. “Amsterdam is closer than any other European metropolis, not only geographically but also mentally. Many people from Cologne regularly drive on the Koninginnen Dag to the Netherlands which are only a few kilometers away, and we always meet boys and girls with “oranje” flags on our carnival and CSD events”.
The relations with the German and Dutch neighbors are diverse. There are many contacts to Dutch groups. A Dutch language web page www.games-cologne.nl is available for information. One of Gay Games Cologne‘s 35 sports will take place at our neighbors in Holland. The city of Roermond, in Holland is the official partner of the Gay Games VIII and supports the organization of the sailing competition. Sailing is accompanied by an event in the city center of Roermond. Participants and guests can use a bus- or train shuttle between Roermond and Cologne.
The “Meet and Greet” takes place on Whitsunday, May, 23 2010 at 3 pm in the “Getto” Warmoesstraat 51, 1012HW Amsterdam.
