So, since there seem to be no organisations/clubs/whatever in my country. I’ve taken it upon myself to organise one.
So 29th of May in a park near the train station there will be a (hopefully) fun meetup in my hometown.
We’ll have a couple of throwers coming from all over our country who’ll bring some of their throws to show off and possibly trade or sell.
We’ll be organising a Trick ladder contest in Advanced and Beginner classes. With prizes provided by a generous sponsor who shall not be named on this forum.
Arc1 (a Dutch player) will be presenting some of his neew yoyo the Gemstone.
And I’ll have a number of good beginner and budget yoyos available for low (no profit for me) prices for people who are interested in starting the hobby.
So If you’re local to the Netherlands or in a part of Belgium or Germany that’s not too far away come on over and bring your friends.
In closing here’s the poster (I know it’s in Dutch…but that’s the local language.)

Yeah i hope so too. If i do have a decent turnout I’ll also organise it in other (bigger) cities in the months after. It’ll be a fun way to connect to local throwers and maybe generate some new interest in the sport.
Quick bump, please let any throwers you know I the area know about this. I really want to do this more often but if hardly anyone shows up I’ll have to make it a smaller event in the future.
Man that’s so cool that you have taken matters into your own hand and organized a meet. I respect that.
I’m interested. Maybe I’ll be there but I don’t know yet.
I figured i can wait until someone else does it and not know if it’s ever going to happen…or just give it a try myself.
So far i have confirmed attendance from at least 4 other serious Dutch throwers and I’m working pretty hard to publicise it around the local area and get adults and kids to come check it out.
It would be amazing if you can make it and meet me and the others in person.
Beginner yoyos and prize/practise yoyos + promotional material from YYF just arrived. Just one more box of yoyos to arrive yet and all the goodies will be here and ready.
Sadly the weather seems to not be impressive tomorrow. But I’ve arranged a couple of tents in case it drips a bit.
I’ve got snacks and drinks, music, beginner yoyos, doing workshops for beginners, we have a couple of fun contests with prizes were going to be doing, stickers, free string.
And of course a bunch of throwers who are going to be meeting In real life for the first time.
If you’re capable of visiting and you didn’t you’re gonna miss out for sure.
