Looks like a great trip, which I've yet to make . I'm still trying to make this work, and the odds are increasing, but still low, and I would be coming via Hamburg, probably only for part of Saturday and Sunday, and will update you if it becomes definite.

Any more for any more regarding the Germany owners meet?
I'm just finalising all plans now and could do with knowing. . . . **Expects silence as with all inquiries about events of late**
