Although, of all the shows listed this
weekend, Brussels is the one to be at, it's probably bigger than Sandown, and
so much stuff turns up at all those big Belgian and Dutch shows, it's like all
your Christmases come at once!
As, after March, it might be a real pain to
attend such shows (thanks Bwreakshiteers!), this may be your last chance to hop
in the car, hop across the Channel, grab some Euro's on the way and have a
bean-feast, in the future it may be 3-quid for a Euro; ordered in advance,
visa's ordered months up-front (if you have a passport), customs queues - there
and back, import duty on your show-plunder, French traffic violations every
five miles . . . !
