    Thanks, Elke!

    i’d love to come and see the meeting…. only, it’s too expensive for me in the moment to buy a regular plane ticket.

    so i thought of taking one of these early-buy-ticket cheap flights, for next year, but id have to know exactly when the meeting takes place…

    i’ve looked up the activities calendar, but so far i’ve failed to find the date of the meeting in the activities calendar for this year.

    does this mean these yearly meetings of draft cattle enthusiasts aren’t the part of the official event program? :confused:

    i thought taking a plane either to Bonn, or Luxembourg flughaffen, and from then, guess taking a bus to Kommern?…
    but no matter, i have a year to prepare!:D

    cuz i’d really want to go next year…

    take a plane to Luxembourg. than go to Trier with a train, than with the train to Wittlich. there I will pick you up as our guest for 3 days (as I did with Charly Bonifaz), we will hitch my team, we will make a barbeque and on Saturday or Sunday (prefer Saturday) we drive to Kommern (distance from my home about 90 km)

    That is a fantastic offer, bivol. I hope you get to go next year and I hope you get to connect with fabian. Sounds like a whole bunch of fun!

    Is this a GREAT forum or what?

    WOW, Thanks a lot, Wolfgang!

    Than I accept the offer for the next year!:)

    I’m really glad I’ll have someone to guide me while in Germany, I speak German, but still, it’s a long way from home!

    And not only that, to be able to stay at your place! I knew you’re good people, but i honestly didn’t expect this!
    Thanks loads, Wolfgang!

    so, for the next year, i’d need to know the exact date of the the gathering for the next year, at least some weeks prior, to be able to buy a low-cost ticket!

    needless to say, if you come to Croatia (or have some of your friends or relatives do), just tell me, I’ll do whatever i can! Elke, it goes for you too!

    :Dyep, OldKat, it’s sure is a great forum! because of its people for bigger part!

    The date was published here: http://zugrinder.de/
    and here: http://www.kommern.lvr.de/veranstaltungen/

    But I think, we will tell you the date next year in this forum 😉

    Thanks!

    i’ve seen these pages some half a year ago, but didn’t take much notice because i didn’t seriously consider going back then. after seeing the photos Elke posted, then i decided i’d like to go!
    i’ll keep my eye on the calendar on these pages, although the notice on the forum wouldn’t hurt!;)
