NIEUWSBRIEF MEI 2012

Dear All,

We are getting ready for a summer dedicated to outdoor life... and the following tips come to mind:

·            You all know how innovative Dutch people are and how fond they are of bicycles? Result of that combination: the Wheelz Center in Strijp, offering try-outs, on-line orders and aftersale service! If you like biking, you can download here bike roadmaps

·            The Marathon Eindhoven is held every year in October, and this spring there will be a special edition devoted to the Army Urban Run, held on Sunday 20 May 2012. Same day, in Strijp-S, the feel good market: a nice place for the all family (outdoor and indoor accomodation!)

·            On Sunday 27 May 2012 the 30st edition of the Boeremert Brouwhuis will be held in Helmond and will bring old craftsmanships back to life.

·            Never forget to check the HOME and Genneper Parken websites and their large agenda of activities and workshops like butter and paper making!

For the days that do not allow to spend hours outside we can also suggest  some nice and warm places to go or events to attend:

·            On Sunday 13 May 2012, you can look at the sun through a special sun-telescope. This is only possible a couple of days a year!

·            On Saturday 19 May 2012 have a look at the Ellie’s Clothes Fair at the Pieter Hein Eek’s place: one of the trendiest places to be a/o to eat, and one of the most conscious workshops.

·            Nijntje (alias Miffy) musical, coming up in Eindhoven... this might be an outing your little ones will like

·            Comedy “Mama” in Veldhoven 15 May 2012

·            Bipoo kraft store, or this sustainable webshop for craft utilities

·            For more intellectual appetites, have a guided tour of the TuE (Technical University of Eindhoven, 0402979115)) in May and June; and a look at the museum’s suggestions on our blog.

Gourmets will enjoy the Pure Food Event at the Wasven, on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 May: great variety of workshops and boots about healthy food and craftmanship.
