Bad Rappenau 2008

La dernière photo ! le moyen idéal pour venir à Bad Rappenau !
On y met pas mal de boites, et elles ne s'envolent pas.....pas d'hôtel, pas de taxi, ...à 20 m de la salle. !!!!

And photos from our friend Csaba from Hungary

a few words about this meeting.
Laci and Csaba arrived on Thursday evening and we met at Adler Gasthaus ... hungry (for cans) collectors arrive sooner and sooner ;-)

On Friday morning I went to Joseph Muller Halle ... was the first on site but the first Italian car was quickly joining (Enrico , Marcello , Fabrizio and Claudio).
Weather conditions were already bad : wind and rain.
Wolfgang Unsel appeared then and most collectors followed (Laci , Csaba , Gabor and Rudi from Hungary , Walter , Wolfgang Riech , Peter from Germany , Gilles , Christian from France , Klasines , Franz , René from Holland , Alain , Etienne , Sylvain from Belgium , Mauro , Mirco , Celso , Riccardo from Italy , Rob from England , Igor , Marin , Petr and his friend from Czech Republic ).
Some more joined later (don't know them all by name) and everybody traded despite strong wind.
We saw for the first time the flying cans and can totes !!!

Around 05:00 PM we came back to Adler for some beer/wine , friendship and dinner.
Gavin seemed to like Jaegermeister

The night brought us snow and freezy wind ... realy really bad weather ... it could explain why we didn't see familiar faces like Phil from Austria , Norbert from Berlin , Michael Scholze , Ernst from Switzerland and the Lithuanian collector.No cans collector from Poland this time even if there were Polish cans available from Jacek.

Only a few more collectors arrived on Friday (Markus from Germany , Christian Meeuws from Holland , sorry for those I can't name).

anyway it was good to see many collectors again and let's meet again in Hamm !
According to Fabrizio there should be collectors from South America in Hamm (Brasil , Bolivia ?) ...

way back home was long and sometimes dangerous for most of us.

It was my first time on the tradeshow in Bad-Rappenau. We were leaving from Holland at 3:45 Friday night. Because of the bad weather we have had on the way to the tradeshow we arrived late on Saturday (around 9:30 am.)

I have traded cans with some collectors and it was, except of the weather, a great and good day!
I would like to thank the collectors for trading cans with me and I think I see you in Hamm (I'm planning to go there too in 2009 for the first time!)

Hello Christian,
It's a good decision to attend HAMM 2009, it will be a great meeting as usual.
We have now about 3 months to get new cans !
Glad to meet you there. Friendly, Syl.

Christian ,

be aware that most cans collectors arrive on Friday early afternoon !!! Most best cans are traded early
