EuroWeekly News | 22 Apr 2024 | John SmithThe town of De Panne in Belgium hosted the European Seagull Screeching Championships on Sunday, April 21, and there was definitely a Pan-European turn out.

Week 2 is in the books and we have an update on the coming weeks. As you may know I will be moving at the end of May. As of today that is specifically May 29th. If the renovators finish sooner I may move up that date but I think it will remain no matter. What this means is that I should be able to get this group finished before I go internet dark awaiting my new set up. Week 7 opening on 27th.

I’ll be glad when the move in is over and settled.
Now on to the ladies.
