1986 I'm afraid. But as you can see, it still remains in my memory. It was
either
on or near Willem de Zwiegerlaan IIRC. I just took the A-1 from Hengelo
past Appledoorn, turned left towards Utrecht, right at a really complex
intersection that gave you vertigo at the topmost level, then on to
S'gravenhage (not the most easy place name to say if you're not a Dutchman...
when pronounced

Mm. Just about when I started buying miniatures there:)

Yup. And by the standards of dutchmen quite far away. ESPECIALLY in the west
the east seems very far away. Whereas if you're in the east, folks find it
ever so natural you travel west all the damn time;)

A lot easier, nowadays, what with the internet. That is, games clubs are
easy to find. Most folks mail-order anyway, for figures.

Cheers,
