Hi
I was there the second day (sunday), every year it becomes IMO more and more an east european happening.
If you're looking for rust or "new" toys, that's the place to be....
There is still (a little) interesting and original material to find, but in general. ..
Furthermore La Gleize is very wether sensitive (its an outdoor happening)
Perhabs I'm to negative in my opinion....( that's only what it is ,"my" opinion)
The last 8-10 years I was there, but this year might be my last visit.
Cheers
Peter

David,
It's a little confusing : you mean "La Gleize" but the thread is called "Ciney "

Greetings,
After I posted the original thread, I realized I had made a mistake. I tried to edit the name of the thread but couldn't. Sincerely, DJB

Hi WARNACH,

You were better of visiting La Gleize on Saturday. At this day there was far more items for offer.
We and many others who where there to sell items, left on saturday evening because of the bad weather.

And yes, the show is the past few years more a criminal/east european happening.
Somebody got pretty bad beaten up friday/saturday night, and a friend of mine saw some Polish dudes using cocaine alongside the road, during the day.
Last year there were also many eastern european pocket-thieves active on the show, I heared several reports that wallets were stolen. One guy even saw it happen, that 5 guys from probably Romania stoled somebodies wallet, but he was affriad to say anything because there were 5 guys of them.

This year the police was also very active. Selling before saterday was not allowed, also several items like original ww2 German Flags were taken by the police, while the swastika's werent covered.

But noneless I had a good time, here some random pictures of this year.


Kind regards
Nick

PS. the last pic is a part for our stand.
But as mentioned we drove home saturday evening.
