30th anniversary of the LEIPZIG DENKMAL MESSE
And come on, I'm moving back. This time, it is 1600 kilometers. The beautiful masterpiece of our late Country Martiel is loaded, the Aspirant Coin of our Allied Country and two beautiful photos of Parts of Admission and Reception of Cooks are carefully packed. I took the flyers and kakemonos from theCompanion Union, as well as those of our new partnerEuropean School of Art and Materials of Albi.
Don't forget anything. I'll take the screen, the overhead projector, the computer, trestles, trays, tableware, then down and pillow. The Waringomobile is ready, and since it has a new engine, it's gonna be fine. Here we go! It is Tuesday, November 5, 2024 in the morning. Tonight I sleep in Dambach-la-Ville. Country Olivier Badermann welcomes and Country Xavier Dubois joins us. Another beautiful evening of sharing on the Tour de France. The next day, our Aspirant Mathilde Cornu called Tourangelle arrives accompanied by the Comrade Ange Charpentier. We're going to make the way together and as they speak German better than I do, it'll be very practical.
We arrive on Wednesday night, on the 7pm kick, in time to drop everything on the stand in a secure room. A Red Tie Comrade had been waiting for us, the C.C.E.G.'s Kiosk went up and everything is ready for tomorrow. It remains to find our hotel and a good restaurant to reward us for our dedication to the Society. We spend most of the meal continuing to plan our interventions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We came to represent theCompanion Union and work, not for tourism. We need to establish Erasmus contacts. Four members of the Union want to work in Germany for periods ranging from 6 to 12 months and we have to discuss a lot of ongoing projects with the ECG.
Thursday, 7 November 2024, We arrive early on in the show and hit our stand. It's still the 30th anniversary of Denkmal Mass. It is a superb Trade Fair of Heritage, which has not much to envy at the magnificent Louvre Carrousel Heritage Fair. We must represent the Union, alongside the Federation and the Societies affiliated to the C.C.E.G. « It's wonderful! » It must be said that two years ago we had already done this exercise. Thursday and Friday are intense. Saturday is much more because we have to give conference on the construction site of Notre-Dame de Paris.
To satisfy this exercise, I am greatly assisted by the Comrade Angel who, of Swiss and French origin, speaks very well German. And since we had the whole trip and two evenings to prepare ourselves, he has the ability to explain my point, rather than translate it word for word. It's still much more classy! We smoke and really get a lot of listeners. We are closing the conference cycles. However, I must bring a heavy burden to my text, because our official translator « Lady Christine Hussel », recently disappeared, soft misses a lot. We apply a minute of silence in his memory. She had become a very dear friend and, we are all very sad.
We took a while on Friday to meet my long-time friend, Comrade Lars Rochwacher, who had come to work for several months in my little Tarnese company. He brings us together the president of the Leipzig Chamber of Trades, who is also the director of the largest masonry and stone-cutting company in the city. With them, we set up a solid bridge that will allow anyone to come and work in Leipzig. And, with some Comrades established in Germany, we complete the foundation of the network opening up great possibilities for Erasmus exchanges or collaboration or research. They appreciate us and are quite willing to help. These proposals are « also », of course, for all our partners under the Convention withCompanion Union Hey!
On the way back and forth, we stopped in beautiful places, widening the field of our discoveries ever more. It was certainly short, but, as always, so rich, allowing us to always get to know this great neighbouring country, where we are so well received. The earth is round: « Travel » Hey!
