I was one of the lucky ones who took part in the 1st official European VT Meeting, held from 6 - 8 May 2005, in Valeggio sul Mincio & Verona.

It was quite an experience to be in the company around 70 VT'ers from over the world! A few I had met before, some I was looking forward to meeting, and some I had never even heard of before!!

I didn't arrive in Valeggio sul Mincio until the Saturday morning, but quickly met up with some of the group. I am sad that I didn't make it for the big Friday night welcome dinner....kind of felt a little out of the loop...but I was made to feel so welcome and I soon caught up on all the gossip!

There were so many people there that I didn't get the chance to speak to everyone. Although so exciting to see so many VT'ers together, at times I found it all a bit overwhelming.....so many faces!!

Sorry to those who I didn't get a chance to meet and to those not in any of my photos....perhaps next time!!

Ciao!

Thanks for sharing your view of the Verona meet :) I wish I could've gone myself, but at least I have folks like you to allow me to 'be there' vicariously.
