2017 Lowlanders Calendar 2018

For the Amsterdam Lowlanders, 2018 is all about connection, and hosting the 9th international Bingham Cup will be the absolute climax. Amsterdam is a city of 2000+ bridges - the most in the world - so it’s tting that we will welcome more than 2000 of our brother ruggers to our City of Bridges for the premiere event of International Gay Rugby. Together, we will celebrate Mark Bingham’s legacy and create or rekindle many great friendships.

Lowlanders Calendar 2018

Apart from the modern architecture of must-see Rotterdam, most Dutch cities are well preserved historic zones -- so unlike Manhattan, Malmö, or Milwaukee, the Dutch have their cutting-edge Santiago Calatrava designs built out in the country. While ying into Amsterdam, you can admire three of his bridges amongst the farmland. Did you know that tiny Holland is the world’s second largest exporter of food? A monument to our ability to grow things is Sije, our very own farmboy from Frisia, a rural province with its own distinct language similar to Old English. Sije shakes the hand of Straffe Ketten’s President Miguel on the right, a scene familiar from the Thalys Cup. Thalys, the high-speed train service between Amsterdam and Paris, also stops at Liège, Belgium’s train station, another masterwork by Calatrava.
