12/05 : 5th Dutch brony meetup
The 12th of may was a nice and sunny dayPerfect for the bronies of the Netherlands to gather up and spend the whole day doing brony things with other bronies from all over the country! Bronies gathered From Marestricht to Ponygen. About 150 bronies showed up. That’s about 50 more then our last meetup and a very impressive number altogether!
We had a lot of people from the dutch community working on their favourite kind of fanart; musicians were making music, some people were painting their custom blindbag-ponies and ofcourse there were a lot of talented artists drawing their way trough the day. We also had some fun competitions like a fanfic competition, a pubquiz and as always a drawing competition!
Furthermore, we had a reporter at the meet who made a newspaper article about the meet which was featured in wednesday’s Noord-Hollands Dagblad. Here you can read all about it.
We want to thanks all the attendees for being on their best behavior and we are looking forward for our next big meetup!

14/04 : Hasselt Mini-Meet
Mini-Meet time! The party canon was deployed in Hasselt, Belgium this time. We arrived at about 12:00 at the Hasselt Train Station. When everypony arrived we started marching towards the local bowling alley. There, we played about 3 or 4 games before heading into town. We went for a quick bite at Hasselt Fried Scootaloo (or Panos, for the people who were very reluctant to eat Scootaloo).After that, our raids began! Two Bart Smits, but no blind bags to be found. Although somepony scavenged a cardboard Pinkie Pie
We didn't steal it! We asked politely. The shop keeper was a bit weirded out by that though...We also decided to head out to Blokker, because we heard rumours that there might be blind bags there too. We were lucky! Some of us forgot our Love and Tolerance motto for a second and grabbed away at the bags. But in the end, it was some nice, ordered chaos. Most of us who wanted one actually got one. But our hunger for ponies was not stilled! We pulled out our smartphone and found out there was another Blokker "only" 2km away.
With haste we made way to this other Blokker, because it was about to close! Our hooves were sore, but we arrived... Just too late
About three minutes after closing time. But a Brony spirit can not be broken! We took a bus back to the station, had a drink in the pub, played some ponified Uno and then went back home.16 ponies showed up, so it was a good and very fun meet!

10/03 : 2nd Belgian Meet Recap
What can we say about today's Brony Meet? Well, to sum it all up in one word: It was EPIC!
The events of the day were as followed:
We gathered at Central Station in Antwerp at 12:00, from there on no less than 63 Bronies entered Antwerp.
First stop of the day was Bart Smit, as usual. Unfortunately, no blind bags to be found...
Second stop: McDonalds on the Groenplaats. We bought Happy Meals and some of us managed to get Fluttershy. Unfortunately, some of us weren't as lucky because McDonalds ran out of ponies faster than you can say "Brony-raid".
After taking a picture our group picture on the Groenplaats, someone came up to us and interviewed some of us for the newspaper Het Nieuwsblad! That article appeared the Monday after.
Moving on to our rented conference room in Antwerp Expo. There we watched some Brony vids on Youtube, played Ponyhunt and socialized with each other. At 7:00, the time had come to watch the livestream of the new episode. We all sang the theme song with our loudest voices and laughed at Pinkie's shenagigans and Metal Gear Solid references.
When we were packing up, your faithful crew-member was approached by someone who turned out to be a reporter of P-Magazine! He wrote a five-pager about Bronies. The article was published on Winter Wrap Up (20 March).
