Dear Cobra Friends!
Like all of us, we are looking forward to the 2022 ECM, but Early Birds arriving on wednesday 22-6 will need to 'eat out' since the ECM hotel has NO dinner facilities on that day.
The NH Hotel has informed me that on thursday and friday there will be NO possibilities for 'A-La-Carte' dining, but the dinner-buffet will be available. Reservation for this buffet-dinner is highly recommended. Ofcourse the ECM Team has secured the dining facilities for our ECM Party Evening on saturday! No worries!!
Now, to enjoy a Welcome-dinner on wednesday, together with our fellow-Early Birds, I am organizing an Early Bird Dinner Party in down-town Maastricht, at the locally well-known restaurant Pieke Potloed. This restaurant is famous for it's typical Maastricht atmosphere and good food. FYI: An Early Bird Dinner arrangement will cost you less than the dinners in the ECM hotel...
We hope that together we can have a fantastic Early Bird start of the ECM and a great time on wednesday evening! 5 EB's have signed up already! Who's next?

@ The 2 Pete's...
Hi Pete, can it be that you are not staying in the NH hotel? I am working with their roomlist for the wednesday,... So if there are any Cobristi that stay elsewhere, but want to join us, you all are very welcome ofcourse! It's just impossible for me to know who are exactly the wednesday Early Birds, other than NH hotel residents.
You are now on the ECM Dinner Party list and we are looking forward to see you guys!

Early Bird Welcome Dinner Party
UPDATE 7-6-22
Morning All,
From all the Early Birds that i contacted and invited for the EB Welcome Dinner, all except 2 have reacted.
So far 15 cars, i.e. 29 persons are now registered for the Welcome Dinner at the famous restaurant Pieke Potloed in Maastricht.
I have arranged that we will be served the group arrangement, which consists of a 3-course choice menu of 4 entrées, 6 main courses and 3 desserts. There must be something for everyone, but from some participants i have received requests for a vegetarian dinner, which ofcourse is available too.
Dinner is € 29,95 pp. excluding drinks. That's € 10,00 cheaper than the buffet dinner in the NH hotel...
LOGISTICS
On the wednesday itself, the Early Birds can decide themselves if they want to drive to the underground parking just 5 minutes from the restaurant, or that we can organize some taxi-buses to take us there and back. Walking there and back is possible too ofcourse, but considering it will be a 6km. return trip, i don't think many will do so.
Well, that's it for now. Just 2 weeks to go before the Days of Thunder will commence...

Thanks Chris,
and today's good news is:... Achim Deboeser is arriving in Maastricht one day earlier as planned, so he can join us all for the EB Welcome Dinner! That's the Spirit!
