Language barrier not a problem

(Many thanks to Frank, our Xiangqi friend who is kind enough to enlighten us about the mystery of the Dutch language. Ed)

"
This is my attempt to translate the text in Dutch re Netherlands X Club:-

The Netherlands Xiangqi Club was established in 1990 to promote the "mind sport" in the Netherlands.

We play on the first Monday of each month in Wijkcentrum De Blauwe Brug to Schiedam.
(N.B. Schiedam appears to be a western suburb of Rotterdam FP)

Play usually commences at 5p.m. and continues until 9p.m. We often wander off somewhere to eat in a merry atmosphere.

The address is: Wijkcentrum "De Blauwe Brug" Bachplein 590
3122 JM Schiedam. Tel: 010 247 0464.

For further information you can ring Arnout de Leeuw on 0181 642695
or call Mr NG Wing Sang tel. 06-19216820.

Diary Note: The next meeting is Tuesday 6 June 2006.

I remember meeting Arnout in Paris last August.

Best wishes,

Frank
