Just received an email from one of our Belgian 480 friends - he is hoping to arrange a meet for next year, but needs to have enough interest to be worth doing. Anyone interested please let me know and also if either of the suggested dates is a problem. This is the info :

Re: Ghent meeting June 2018
Depending on another event I want to attend I am interested. I am awaiting for the dates to be confirmed but it is usually the 2nd weekend in june.
