Westerlo 2004
 

To everybody involved with the Westerlo memorial weekend.

Thankyou to everybody in Westerlo for the fantastic event; I really enjoyed it, and I think that all of the English visitors would agree.

 

If anybody has any photographs or information about the memorial weekend, please email it to me, and I will add it to the website over the next few weeks.

 

Thankyou again to the people of Westerlo.

Bedankt aan iedereen in Westerlo voor het fantastische weekend. Ik heb er echt van genoten, evenals al de andere Engelse gasten.

Als er mensen zijn die foto's of informatie hebben over het weekend mogen ze mij die altijd bezorgen via email. Ik voeg die informatie dan graag toe aan de website.

Mensen van Westerlo, nogmaals hartelijk bedankt !"
