Barbecue Time!
'Goodbyes, they often come in waves..'
This year we had the luck to meet so many unique, crazy, lovely, fun, amazing people from all over the world.
Unfortunately this year is coming to an end and a lot of our friends have to go back home.
To celebrate all the new friendships that have been made, the new insights these friendships gave us and mainly for the fun we had together we would like to invite you all for a goodbye barbecue at the barbecue spot at Haarweg 333!
We will make sure there will be enough barbecues for everyone.
Bring your own drinks, food, tissues for the goodbye tears, your photo camera and a lot of smiles to make this evening an unforgettable one!
Extra: We will be selling Dutch flags (4,00euro each)
