Here are my poor results.

A long day , woke up 4am leaving home at 5am , arriving here afther 350km , stopped for breakfast on the motorway.
Very glad on how things turned out , seems everyone is happy with thiere pitch even some are close to eachother.
Got to shake hands with everyone witch is nice ,gave everyone a pitch , and we had a nice gathering in the indoor building .Many tasted the sweet champagne allready .
I am so glad everyone arrived safely and our thoughs are with the ones who cancelled ( @Celia and Edward )
The weather has turned rather worse and rain for a few hours this evening .
We have 24 Cali's coming from 6 diffrent countries . Think the biggest effort comes from @Kmann who drove 1200km one way to get here just for the weekend ....
As it happens a other Belgian California popt-up and seems a member on the forum .
Now off to sleep !

Love your 'brew with a view' picture, HC.
