Hi Geoff/all,

Great site...wish it had been around on my first two visits...about time they sorted out the roadworks though!. I am really going to miss coming this year, everyone was so friendly and hospitable last year and the birthday bash was an experience not to be missed. I did some really rewarding trades and deals to build up my collection too...many thanks to Joyce and Blaine for that. Just wishing that I had taken everyone's advice out there and spent much more whilst the pound was strong...suffering now...

Too busy this year...but sure trying to make time next year...hope everyone who does go has a great time in th sunshine and perhaps see some of you in Ensisheim.
