Maybe we should do an annual show in the EU or better in the UK Even if ya didn't do a "show" but just a scheduled get together! I find it interesting just how close together everything is over there. Be in a whole 'nother country in just a little bit. Bet it would be a blast to have all of the EU folks gather up for even a Saturday or somethin. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most members are in UK, so I think we can find a good location over there. Would be a 2 hour drive to the ferry for me. How many (active) members are there on the EU mainland? Don't think a hole lot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse 3D 3,791 #28 Posted June 17, 2021 I know @Tractorhead is over there in Bavaria and I think he has one or 2 other Horse folks. They'd probably be wililn to travel over the channel to meet everyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,390 #31 Posted June 17, 2021 Maybe seeing as to how old Mr Plunge can't get down to PA some of you folks should bring the mini Big Show to his place in September... I'm planning on being there this fall but don't let that deter you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #32 Posted June 17, 2021 Could be a idea. but i think the best is the USA Site, so we also ca shake some Hands and see the Lads of the Forum once Face to Face. A European Wheelhorse Meeting could be als an interesting Idea. It‘s definitely worth thinking about. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too many ( i think ) but Those guys in the UK see each other at some shows. Not as many are active here on RS as they used to be but you should visit My Old Machine. I see them discussing getting together at shows more on there. A couple - few hour ride is noth'n https://myoldmachine.com/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After scouting around and being shocked at the offerings and prices, decided to re-web two very solid ones we already had. Took about an hour each using about 50' of 2 ¼" webbing each ($16 for 150') and the furnishings department was extremely pleased with the outcome. So pleased, in fact, that two other chairs may get done just to have them all match again. Sigh. Edited June 19, 2021 by Handy Don 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,829 #47 Posted June 22, 2021 FYI, wheel chairs are pretty comfy, and many times MUCH cheaper than camp chairs! After all, they are designed to be sat in (and crapped in) all day long! @squonk no Jesus Cruisers, no shirt, no service! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
