Editing CS Newsletter for the Netherlands 2010.1 (section)

==Leeuwarden==

In the summer of 2009 the couchsurfers of Leeuwarden tried to organize some meetings. It seemed a great way to get to know each other a bit better. After an ice-cream meeting and a meeting in a bar where  only three people showed up, it was time for more action. We gathered some people, picked a bar and had our first meeting on Wednesday September 16th. We met at 'De Stee', a bar right accross the train- and busstation which makes it very easy to reach when you are coming from outside of Leeuwarden. It was a hit and we decided to turn this meeting into a monthly one. Every Wednesday closest to the 15th of the month you can join us. In the previous meeting we had great fun meeting new CouchSurfers and to see old faces coming back to the meetings. 

The success of the Monthly meeting gave us the inspiration to do more. We are starting to make plans as an community to:
* To organize City exchanges
* To Couchsurf with a theme. Like visits to the city with the longest name or visiting every province of The Netherlands the coming year. 

We are always happy to welcome new people to our city. So if you are interested in visiting Leeuwarden, organizing a city exchange or just meeting up with us; keep an eye on the eventpage. You can also contact us through the Leeuwarden CS group.
