Schild & Vriend

'Schild en Vriend' is an old Flemish battlecry, used in the rebellion of the city of Brugge against the French, May 18, 1302. Legend tells that it was used to differentiate between the French-speaking (who could not pronounce 'schild') and Flemish-speaking citizens. Nowadays, historians tell us that it was probably 'Des Gilden Vriend'.

December 22
Did some minor updating of the schedule, reflecting the new situation of Schild & Vriend.
April 12
For one weekend, we managed to suppress our "Visual Appeal is Everything" reflex and actually participated in a DBM tournament here in Belgium. To witness, there are some new pictures in the gallery, taken by Maarten with his new fangled digital camera thingy. Luckily however, most of us are not what one might call good players, so we did manage to enjoy ourselves :). Seriously, the tournament has a very friendly atmosphere (most of the time). We might even go back :).
