(...) Dear Todd, I'm sorry I did not take notice of that open date so far. The people of our club have done the first train event in late 1997 (on Dec. 27th till 29th). But the club has been formed in early December 1999. So the date of 1999-12-09 (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.loc.de)
