XXL picnic in Oosterpark (if the weather is good)

NOTE: If there's a high chance of rain, we will cancel/postpone the event!

In the summer months, several meetup groups in Amsterdam come together to bring everyone together for picnics in the park. Meet old friends and make new ones alike.

This time we'll be hanging out in Oosterpark - the exact location will be announced later. We'll share pictures of the group in the meetup event as well as our Whatsapp group so you can find us on the day.

You should bring (at your own risk, keep an eye on your belongings):

• Food and drinks for yourself - of course, if you bring enough to share with others, you do gain karma points
• Whatever you need to make yourself comfortable; a blanket, foldable chair, layers of clothing...
• Entertainment for yourself or others; games, bluetooth speakers, musical instruments...
• A smile and a good mood!

What to expect from the event:

• We officially start at 14:00, but lots of people are "fashionably late", so don't worry about being exactly on time. However, you will get kudos from the organizers if you are 😁
• People usually start leaving around dinner time, 19:00-20:00.
• There are usually a total of 60-90 people at the event, with lots of groups mingling.
• The age group is very diverse, but most are 25-45 years old.
• English is the primarily spoken language, but feel free to seek out speakers of other languages (maybe practice your Dutch?)
• Organizers will be there and can help you if you're having a specific issue, but meetups are ultimately just an opportunity to meet fellow community members and make friends. Put yourself out there and make the best of it yourself!

As always, reach out to any of the organizers is you are the victim of or notice any inappropriate behavior, including but not limited to: Sexual harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia. Our events have a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior, but we can only act on it if we know about it.
