Just to prove to you we are not new at doing this, we would like to give you a small summary of our events through the years. We started out as a combination of 3 different groups of people. One of which left us after two years. The foundation now consists of the two previously separate entities: Dutch Anime Society and Anime Workgroup Holland.
