International 3ma is back! Our member from The Netherlands
Albert Brouwer has dusted off his abandoned plans from 2020 and we are finally going to have the 3ma in the Netherlands that was cancelled due to the pandemic.
The dates for 3ma23 are now confirmed:
Friday 26 May to Monday 29th May 2023Many thanks to our member
Albert Brouwer for making all the arrangements and resurrecting his plans from 2020 for 3ma23.
Our base will be the
WestCord hotel de Veluwe, in Garderen, The Netherlands who were very understanding when we had to cancel bookings in 2020 and have once again given us a great deal.
Garderen is a village with approximately 2000 inhabitants in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Barneveld, in the forests of the Veluwe. It is in an agricultural enclave on the west side of the Veluwe and is a very popular tourist destination. The Veluwe is a forest-rich ridge of hills (1100 km2) and features many different landscapes, including woodland, heath, some small lakes and Europe's largest sand drifts. It is a very popular tourist destination with many attractions in the area including four zoos, over 50 museums including the
Kröller-Müller art museum, and the royal palace
Het Loo at
Apeldoorn.
The National Sports Centre Papendal, a large sports complex and Olympic Games training facility, is located in the south of the Veluwe near Arnhem.
