| On
September 19/20, 2009,
the second German US-Convention was held in Rodgau (Frankfurt) Germany,
organized by Horst Meier. Even both events (their 2nd CV and our 14th CV)
were just 3 weeks apart, it did actually not hurt each other, it was worth to see both exhibitions. Of course,
our 14th Convention was bigger and we do have a tradition since 1981. The 3rd CV will be on October 15/16, 2011. Here is the link for the German US-Convention: click here |
