I think it is also the general thinking of the staff from KTR , There was a group of British collectors who wanted to take part in the April events , and they were refused because they were no member of KTR . Some people came up with you can book in under my name , and ... this is another solution you can do , the British wisely said forget it , it is the mentallity wich counts .
But from the other hand KTR people with their orange klogs and flag parade are in the front row if there is something to do in a neighbouring country.
But this is already going on for years , my first encounter with KTR was in 1984 , we came to a town were Tom Bewick with his trusty Ford LAAT was refused in the parade because the truck had a diesel engine in .Even after we explained that he had to go 900 miles till the ferry , and then another 300 on the continent , that didn`t dare them , their Dodges were at least the real thing and they drive them as long as they could see their home town church tower . Finally the Major came past our lot , and asked wy these special vehicles were not parked up for the parade !! then bla bla bla , hmmm sorted he said you all go as first , you are our foreign guest, and there is a meal and a drink in the Town hal afterwards.
Later a lot of offences were trown at our lot ,because club bobo`s were not in the lead of the parade .
So that is wy I must be the only person in Holland who never has been a member of KTR .
