Sorry to hear you lose your job :\. Seems to be happening all over the place now. I've just moved to Hilversum, close to Utrecht, since I found a job as sys admin in Amsterdam. My A4000 is still in a box in storage, my 'house' is way too small.
I don't really know much about any active user groups in these parts. There's the HCC and it's C= subgroup which seems to be active to a certain point.
