Well done Richard and every one at Point 65 / Pampas! Hope you will repeat this event next year, so that we from the "other side" can join.

Hey Ulrika.
SKM was a great success and as far as I can tell we will do this again next year. Then we will try not to colide with Stockenträffen. Sorry about that. As to the 2009 catalogue the only problem is that you are not in it! Maybe next year you could join us at the photo shoot? Kram Richard
