Hello Shogi-L,

As was mentioned before on this list, we are organising the 1997 edition
of the Richard Verkouille Memorial on the 3rd and 4th of may.

The location has changed this year.  We will now play in a larger hall
with a very nice bar :-)  (actualy, it's a chess club)

        Seniorenklub Krekelberg
        Krekelberg 18
        St.Amandsberg (GENT)

You can reach it very easily from the Dampoort railway station :

1) Cross the railway (under the bridge, the right tunnelhole) to
    The road is called : Dendermondsesteenweg, you'll pass some sex-shops
    along the way :-) (this should make it very easy for people to remember)
2) 1st crossroads with red-lights to the left
    This is called : Heirnisplein
3) 1st road to your right is called Krekelberg

It's just a few minutes walking distance from the station.  The same route works for
people who arrive by car.  To reach Dampoort station from the hightway, take right
and follow the ring. (Dampoort station is indicated)

The entry fee is 500 Bef
Please register as soon as possible and BEFORE april 28th.
