On the first weekend of June, the long-prepared WAFDAL Meeting took place at the Hotel Victor’s Residenz in Saarbrücken. On June 1st, several delegates from different countries and other guests gathered at 7 pm for the welcome buffet. There were already many stimulating conversations on this evening.

On Friday morning, the actual meeting continued at 9 am in the conference room. There were 22 participants, including representatives from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, the Netherlands, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Serbia, and the Czech Republic. After the welcome by the CDF President, Mr. Thomas Höppner, the member clubs and observer clubs were briefly introduced.

A heartfelt thanks to Stefanie Benner for translating the reports into English for the non-German-speaking participants!
