Zitat von SmileitsMe;111520

Hallo Leute!

Leider muß ich meine (unsere) Teilnahme aus privaten & beruflichen Gründen absagen.
Wie vieleicht manche schon mitbekommen habe bin ich seit 1.Mai in einem neuen Unternehmen tätig.
Dies erfordert im Moment viel Zeit an Einarbeitung/Schulung ect..
Des weiteren kommen noch Private Umstände dazu die mir im Moment sehr viel Zeit in Anspruch nehmen.
Des weiteren ist leider mein 8er immer noch in der Garage.. und wie es im Moment aussieht wird er dort auch noch eine Zeit bleiben.

Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß!!!

@ Jack!
Es werden somit mein Zimmer als auch das Doppelzimmer von Hans-Peter frei!

Eine entsprechende Meldung sende ich noch heute an das Hotel!

Alles Gute!!!
Und auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen!!

lg Richard
