Intro
On sunday the 2 nd of June 2002 It will once
again be time to hoist anchors and cast off for the 7th Annual
Dordtse Weedcup. This yearly event takes place on a ship while
boating on the rivers around Dordrecht. It's a big ship with ample
room for 350 guests.
The Dordtse Weedcup began 7 years ago, as
a competition between several growers aquanted with Head and Growshop
Dordrecht. The first 2 events we took to the wide rivers on a
much smaller ship, max 35 passengers. But the atmosphere and weed,
there wasn't any less of it.
Now we will be boating on a much bigger ship and
it looks as though this might be too small. One of the reasons
for thes is an article in the U.S. High Times which gave the Dordtse
Weedcup quite an international interest.
The boat trip.
The boattrip is gong to vary a great deal this
year. From Dordrecht we will be going on the Dordtse Kil, on to
the Hollands Diep, a very wide river . Passing unthernieth the
Haringvliet-bridges, on to the Haringvliet, al long side the island
Tien Gemeeten, Then on to Middelharnis, where we will boating
up the Spui. The narrowest part of the boattrip. Between Maassluis
and Vlaardingen wel will enter the Nieuwe Waterweg, and passing
by Rotterdam and it's international world harbour. One of the
most spectacular parts of the trip. With a really nice, different
view of Rotterdam and looking at the cool bridges as we pass underneath
them. Going up the Noord river , again heading south, we'll soon
see the Dordtse Dom on the horizon. Then across from Groot Hoofd
and the centre of Dordrecht, we'll let up on the gas. Now it will
be time for the presentation of the Dordtse weedcup on the upper
deck. With the old centre of Dordrecht as background. To prevent
anyone from getting seasick we may take an alternate route, if
the weather (mainly the wind), prevent's us from ensuring smooth
easy going sailing without too much rocking of the boat (we'll
do that).
The cup
Everyone joining the trip can enter the Dordtse
Weedcup. As soon as we cast off you can submit your price winning
Cannabis in the upper saloon. Only there you can submit your pot,
about 2.5 grams per entry. "Attention" there are 2 categories
Nederweed and haze, only one entry per categorie per person. (max
1x nederweed and 1x haze)
All of the entered weed will go in the same
kind of bags with a different number. Your name or alias and number
wil only be on one list, wich I will keep in a closed envelop
in my inside pocket, (closely guarded), which will not come out
until the jury has declared the results by number.
The jury will only have 2 lists of mumbers
and 2 piles (neder and haze) of numbered bags filled with some
of the finest Mariuana. (Yours)
Because it would be impossible for the jury
to smoke all the different weed in one afternoon, a point system
will be applied according to: first impression, scent, looks (clean
up), taste, last judgement. The top 5 from each categorie will
be smoked and the final decisions will be made for the winning
numbers.
The jury consist of 7 people (potheads) with
a superb knowledge of weed and are able to give a good judgement.
Last year No Mercy Supply (the sponsor) provided
me ( for the first time) a silver challenge cup witch was won
by K.C.Brians. We expect K.C.Brians agian to be on board and anticipate
a good entry to defend his trophy. Whomever wins the Dordtse Weedcup
for the third time in a row will not handover this prime silver
Cup. but will be able to keep it.
For the other winners there is naturally
world renowned eternal fame and of course a cool cup.
The Music.
A party without music is "NOT".
Thats why again there will be live music on board.
Mango, Het Boeren Syndicaat and a third,
not yet booked band will be playing in the disco. The disco is
an area where you can sit stand and dance. There is a small bar
if you get thirsty.
A band that is getting more and more recognition
and has appearences across the country and also been on the radio
several times. A cheerfull band with cheerfull music.
Het Boeren Syndicaat could
call itself eccentric between the other bands. A band full of
musical talent and has played all over for years at party's and
festivals.
The Nile
A band from Belgium, guitar, drum and bass,
will be playing, if the weather allows, on the aft deck. In between
the times that the other bands play.
In the uppersaloon, DJ Arrow and Alive Soundsystem
will be playing music to futher ensure a good atmosphere.
DJ Arrow is well known in the Netherlands,
and has played quite often together with his sister DJ Hepcat
of whom you can read an intervieuw article in Soft Secrets first
issue.
Alive Soundsystem specializing in laying
Roots reggea, Dancehall, Dub and Ska. Two DJ's whom singing and
swining make the show.
Together with DJ Arrow, they also provided
the music at the first outside weed swapping day. They will surely
again provide some good vibes at this Party.
The food.
Just like every year there will be a cold buffet,
which will be prepared on board in the kitchen, and served at
approximately 3 o'clock, available until it's all gone.
The tickets
The tickets this year will be 75 Euro. Be
on time ordering your tickets. You can only do this at the Head
and Growshop Dordrecht. The tickets include; the boat trip of
at least 100 kilometers, the cold buffet, the possibility to participate
in the Dordtse Weedcup and, of course good life music and a lot
of fun.

The sponsor :
The Dordtse Weedcup Organisation is really
pleased with his main sponsor, No Mercy Supply. Last year during
the sixth edition of the Dordtse Weedcup No Mercy Supply provided
us with a valuable handcrafted trophy.
"There's got to come an end to those
cheap tin can cups from the sport trophy warehouse," thought
Cees Hendriks of No Mercy Supply.
No Mercy Supply, a company with innovative
growing products that is internationally scoring very high. Currently
Hendriks's 99.9 % female seeds are making a triumphant journey
through native and foreign gardens.
The solid silver throphy was shaped with
loving Thai hands and presents a value of about 20,000 gilders.
Whomever succeeds in winning the Dordtse Weedcup 3 times in an
row, will become the proud owner of this monumental cup. Without
doubt a great stimulating factor for the already massif incoming
registrations.
"What I like about the Dordtse Weedcup,
is that it's a competition from and for growers, without interferance
from the big boy's. Because it stands out above the crowd if it's
about top quality. And I will be very pleased to know that the
Cup will go home with someone who really earned it.
