Foreword
Leaving Tafelstraat as a location isn't easy. Not
only do we leave behind memories and a warm,
inviting place in the city centre, we also have to do
it justice when we think back.
This magazine tries to capture the glory of
Tafelstraat. Whether it is in describing it eventful,
but inspired past or by counts of students who
enjoyed tafelen enough to come back every week;
Tafelstraat never fails to be a home for special
stories by lovely people.
We look with a bright eye to the future. The
INNBETWEEN provides us with some financial
ease and square meters to give way for the
inspiration of a the student chaplaincy of twentyfirst century Maastricht. Not irrelevant, but
centred in everlasting values of sharing, caring and
being there for all students to come.
Read and remember, but don't leave us innbetween.
