Hi all - I will be making a trip to Rheindahlen once again this June, to re-visit the places I remember, taking photos etc. If anyone else is going to be in the area between 11th and 14th June 2009, and would like to meet up, please let me know. I am staying with my wife at a Hotel in Monchengladbach for the 4 nights, and would be pleased to see anyone who knows me.

Hi Dave, last time I was there, Marlboro Club didnt exist (I Think) - Pops & Eddie's I can't remember where they were - everything has changed since 1977 - please try and pinpoint these places and I will check them out and photograph for you.

Hi All - Had a great time visiting everywhere in Rheindahlen.Stayed in Hotel Garni-Vision in Monchengladbach. On last night, ate at Schnell Imbis in MG and got food poisoning, which made my next part of the journey - Wales not much fun. Those who requested photos got them - or at least I hope they got them - I sent them on CD, because they were all taken with 12 megapixel camera, and it makes each picture about 3-6 mb's each. Advantage is that they can be magnified without loss of detail. Hope you enjoy them, and of course, they are what you wanted.
