Big thanks to Andi and all those who made this happen !

 

This years challenge was, as always, a welcome opportunity to meet the 'gang' again, to share thoughts and laughter.

 

We are looking forward to next years challenge :-)

Hi, Andy.

 

As a German I am ashamed of those "Germans" like that girl who behave the way you have seen it. :(

I guess there are people who will never learn. It's our responsibility not to accept that and to make clear that THAT is not present-day Germany.

 

You know that, Andy, but I always wonder what visitors think who come to Germany for the first time - and then perhaps never again. Prejudice confirmed. That makes me sad.

 

And thus I am even happier that so many Leica fans came to Wetzlar at the weekend to see that Germany nowadays is a friendly, open and free place.

Would it be asking too much for people posting pictures of those attending to add names

to aid in identifying members? We didn't get to meet everyone or be properly introduced

and memory is becoming a week point ;)

 

Many thanks,

 

David :)

Thanks to everyone for making my first One Challenge a great one. I managed to learn something and get a little more gear envy, which isn't that difficult.

Sorry I couldn't make the dinner on Saturday evening, I'm sure I missed some great discussion and more delicious German beer :)

 

Particular thanks to Andy, Carl and Robert.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyones results and next years challenge

Well, yes, almost all the Usual Suspects turned up; so sorry that Bill Palmer couldn't be with us though.

Anyway, what with everybody saying they can't possibly win, I find myself becoming more optimistic:o

Joking apart, it was quite impressive to meet with so many dedicated Leica lovers, and even some photographers among them! Pleasure to have shared some witty stories with erl and received some very good advice from Wilson, Carl and Steve. Until we meet again, thanks to all, Stefan and Andy, of course, and the best of luck!

I think that the girl was probably Spanish or Italian. Regardless, she must have known where she was, what it was all about and what offence she was likely to cause.

 

I agree that Germany is a lovely country, full of lovely people. We are now in the Bavarian Alps and everyone is so friendly and patient with us :)

This was an excellent occasion to meet so many members at one fell swoop, and I am perfectly happy that I could do so this year. You know what? You are even nicer in real life than in the internet.

 

Here's an impression:

Hi,

 

the Wetzlar One Challenge was also my first Challenge event.

I can only confirm the opinion of the previous posters, it was fantastic!

I really appreciated the interesting task with the participants.

 

Thanks to the organizers, Andy, Stefan and Anke!

 

Looking forward to see the pictures soon.

As John (Erl) was taking more photos of us than anyone else, I am hoping he will post some soon.

 

Wilson

Some of the best things in life take little longer! (Wink)

I an traveling till the end of October, so cannot post pics before then. Beware the opening of the floodgates!

Thanks Andy and others that organizes things. I enjoyed the meeting, especially the newer and younger faces. They are our future.

Currently in Dresden, heading to Prague tomorrow. Then ......... ?
