During the Christmas Volleyball Tournament , De Pimpelaer is opened every day until late in the night and almost all the volleyball players are going to this café.
On the 26th and 27th of December the teams have to register in De Pimpelaer. They will get their participants cards (for entering the sports halls and Penta), the CVT-magazine (with a lot of information about the tournament and the schedules) and they can meet their host families.

At the end of the street, just before the traffic lights, you'll see De Pimpelaer on your left hand side.
