Here are the pictures I have gathered so far from our first 3 Inch show and swapmeet, held yesterday, July 21st. Photographed by Niels, from the Dutch Siku forum, Arie Pieters, the reporter from a local newspaper and by my wife, Paula.
We have all agreed to have this meeting again next year, it was FUN!!!

Sounds and looks like it was an awesome time. Lots of really neat models on the tables. Thanks for sharing the day with us and for the pics.
The first thing my eyes caught were the tag a long camping trailers in the first picture. Those are sweet.

Thanks!
The camping trailers are made by Majorette spanning from 1966 till 1971, then they were replaced by a more modern version. I do keep finding these hooked up to Majorettes fabulous Citroën DS.
