Hi Ron,
Just found another ten minutes to read all   the new e-mails.
In My Western Flemish we still use the word "het
bechenk/beschink/beskink", which means "de receptie" in Dutch and
"reception" in English.
In a reception you are given a drink. And i find 'naar een beschink
gaan' much more pleasant than 'naar een receptie gaan'.
groetjes
