Hi all,

Just to be sure I do not forget anyone, I use the mailing lists to send 
out some final details about meeting 201 next week in Delft, the 
Netherlands.

First: You all will probably disembark from the train from Schiphol 
Amsterdam International Airport at the Delft main railway station (which 
is just called "Delft").

Unfortunately, construction work is underway to upgrade the 
accessibility of the station, which - according to one of the students 
of the Technical University of Delft who is working at my employer for 
some months - will take well into the 2020's (it actually looks that way 
too).

So while reaching Coen hotel is not that difficult (because it is at the 
back side of the station), Leeuwenbrug and the Bridges House might be 
more challenging - best is to ask inside the station.

On the morning of Monday the 24 of June, I would ask you to assemble at 
Coen hotel, address:

Hotel Coen Delft BV
Coenderstraat 47
2613 SN  Delft
Phone +31 15 21 45 914
http://www.hotelcoendelft.nl/
e-mail: info at hotelcoendelft.nl

at around 8:15.  We could then walk to the meeting venue at:

NEN
Vlinderweg 6
2623 AX  Delft
The Netherlands

(like we did 8 years ago) which is at a 35 minute walking distance from 
Coen hotel.  According to the student, this route is unobstructed by 
construction work.

The following is a link to the weather forecast for the center of the 
Netherlands (but given that it's only about 40 miles from Delft, a good 
indicator what to expect there), provided by the European Center for 
Medium Range Weather Forecasts:

Monday might be the wettest day of the week, and temperatures during the 
week are not expected to top 20 degrees Centigrade (= (9/5)*20 + 32 = 68 
Fahrenheit) by much.

Have a nice and safe journey - see you next Monday !

Kind regards,
