The food was great (thanks to Joke, Ingrid & all who brought snacks) and the "gezelligheid" was even better. The competition was fierce and  we had 3 winners in the end: First Place went to Helene Meskers with a score of 314 (3 games), 2nd place went to Beau Martin with a score of 294 & 3rd Place went to Martijn with a score of 284. We would like to thank Oregon Flowers for providing all the tulips & the Dutch Store for providing most of the prizes. All in all a wonderful time was had by all proving that Sjoelen is the best game ever.        Posted 15th Feb 2011 at 12:23 pm
