A look into the future followed with regard to our
new book projects and to the planned meetings. [A short synopsis
of the "Bellucci project" – Bibliography of commemorative
publications of German chess clubs – may be added here.] Peter Holmgren
promised a regional meeting of the Scandinavian members at Copenhagen
in April 2006.

At the end there was a further drink served by the MEC and a farewell
dinner for those who didn't intend to leave Amsterdam that evening.
Two
greetings cards with the signatures of all participants
went to our senior member Dr. Jean Mennerat

Further snapshots of the general meeting are included in our final picture
gallery.
I would like to express my personal thanks to all people who didn’t
shy away from the long journey to Amsterdam (Jörg Abramowski arrived
from Beijing/China) and who contributed with their good mood to the success
of our meeting. Very helpful was Eveline Dirksen and her team consisting
of Mrs Parvin Kazemi, Mrs Lot Zwolsman, Mrs Carolien Lesger – she
produced our nice badges – and last but not least Freek Haverman,
the "barman"; but also Ralf Binnewirtz who as usual had "electronically"
prepared the lectures beforehand deserves a thank you.
