Brussels Furmeet

The Brussels Furmeet is a series of furmeets located in Belgium, and run primarily by Belgian furs, starting in late 2007.

History

Beginnings

The first time the name came up was for the week-end of 29-30 September 2007 when Djem proposed a furmeet at his former home in Auderghem. Roughly twelve furries ended up visiting his home. The result was a merry and unstructured event due to the fact of the quite large amount of furs that showed up for a furmeet that was intended for a half of a dozen Furries.

There is still debate about if we can name this furmeet the first Brussels furmeet (the photo gallery was originally labelled "DjemFurence", before being retroactively included into the Brussels Furmeet). The facts are that it awakened the talents of the people who started the next one.

First large Belgian Furmeet

The next edition (or the first, it's still not clear) took place on the weekend of 8-10 February 2008. This time, activities were pre-planned. Still, preparations were rapid since, as the other time, not that many people were expected.

Thirty furries showed up. A good number of them were from France, and the group included some local celebrities such as Timduru and Cookie.

Bruxelles Strikes Back

A Brussels Furmeet 3 was planned the day right after the previous one by Djem, but it languished for some time as merely a post on the FranceFurs forum.

However, there appears to have eventually been an event, Bruxelles Strikes Back in October 2010 involving fursuit bowling, Q-Zar, and a visit to the Parc du Cinquantenaire.
