Scouts Trappers Bolderberg are 30 Years Old

Scouts Trappers Bolderberg are celebrating 30 years of scouts in the village on Saturday 16 May.

Events kick-off at 12.30 with an afternoon activity. From 5pm the doors open for a concert´by a 50-piece band, evening buffet meal of Paella, Nasi Goreng, Bami Goreng and vegetarian then at 8pm there will be a campfire. The meal costs 10€ for adults, 8 € for children. Book your meal here.

The Trappers even have their own Trappist beer called Trapperpist, a 9º beer.

"Trapperpists zijn meestal blond of lichtamber van kleur. De Trapperpist is een feestbier, hoppig en vol van smaak, zacht in de mond, met een uitstekende zoet-bitter balans, een aangename geur en een mooie schuimkraag. En tenslotte een lange nasmaak om ten volle van na te genieten.

Trapperpist is geen schrijffout, het is een woordspeling tussen Trappers en Trappist. Trappers is uiteraard onze groepsnaam en een 'tripel' betekent dat de brouwer driemaal zoveel malt in de brouwketel gebruikt als voor een gewoon bier. Vroeger was een Tripel voorbehouden voor de Bisschop of voor Vader Abt. En die wisten wel wat goed was, reken maar.

De Trapperpist is een bier om van te genieten als dessert, of als aperitief."

The Trapperpist will be in limited supply and only available in Bolderberg.

Female Networking Group in Belgium

I have just joined Female Factor , a Dutch speaking group for women in Belgium and Holland.

There are seven sub-sections on the site:
- Mommy Dear
- Miss Feel Good
- Passionate Lover
- Style Diva
- Urban Cowgirl
- Business Lady
- Spiritual Goddess
I can resonate with each of those descriptions but then us women are so multi-faceted!

The site says:

Netwerk voor de 360 graden vrouw
"Een vrouw met diverse talenten, ambities en passies. Een vrouw die moeder, kunstenares, collega en vriendin tegelijk is. FemaleFactor gelooft in de kracht van vrouwen en laat vrouwen geloven in hun kracht. Daarom creeëren we ruimte voor ontmoeting, tijdens netwerklunches, Club events, inspiratiesessies en natuurlijk de community-website. Ruimte waar vrouwen elkaar kunnen inspireren: de eigen ambities en talenten ontdekken, dit delen met anderen, vervolgens omzetten in actie en genieten van de resultaten. Dit alles op een innovatieve manier; open, betrokken en met een knipoog."

Membership is free and there is lots of interesting and useful information on the website.

I have registered for a networking lunch (sandwiches so not expensive) to be held at Antwerp Zoo on 14 May. There are also meetings coming up in several Dutch locations plus workshops.

Sounds great to me.

Belgian Plastic Drinks Bottles are Worth 25c. in Holland

When I bought some Fanta Cassis bottles in a Dutch supermarket last week, I noticed that I had been charged 25 cents "statiegeld" per bottle ie recycling deposit. I told my son who asked whether we could take our bottles bought in Belgian supermarkets back to Dutch supermarkets and receive 25 cents per bottle. I told him that I doubted it as there must be a different barcode on products for sale in different countries.

Well I have just read on the online site of Het Belang van Limburg newspaper that indeed Belgians are taking their plastic empties back to Dutch shops and earning 25 cents on each bottle, particularly in the border towns of Luyksgestel, Budel, Stramproy, Weert and Stein. Apparently, the barcode readers cannot distinguish between bottles bought in Belgium or Holland. Some enterprising individuals are even collecting empties from the street, rubbish bins or neighbours, even advertising in the local paper.

The Dutch supermarkets have responded to say that they are looking out for any Belgians with large quantities of plastic bottles and will refuse the entire load. While some supermarkets consider this practice dishonest, Plus Daams in Budel-Schoot welcomes the Belgians as they realise that they will probably do some shopping in the store while they are there and, in any case, they are refunded by Stichting Retourverpakking.

Blondineke of Bolderberg is 100 Years Old

Recently a woman in our village of Bolderberg turned 100 years old. To celebrate this achievement, her neighbours decorated the outside of her house and erected a poem about her life. They told us that she was married, had five children, was never sick and when she moved to her current house in 1959, there was no electricity.

I thought this was wonderful.
