After
last years great sucess the furry artists Akeyla and Blue_Panther
venture to organise yet another Basle Fur Meet. Yet again, the few
scattered Swiss furs are invited to gather and inflict terror on
the brave citizens mingling the Basle fairgrounds
The last day of the fair was chosen for the gathering:
Sunday 11th November
We meet in the main hall of the Swiss Main Station (Basle SBB) at
11 o'clock from where we will set off to visit the grounds of one
of the oldest European Fairs. Those courageous enough can venture
on daring rides, while the others mingle the many food stalls.
Later on in the afternoon, we intend to visit a cafee on the main
fairground for a cup of tea and a chat. To conclude the official
part of the meet, the participants can gather around the artists,
before leaving in time for the late afternoon trains. Those bold
enough can venture on a pubcrawl with Blue_Panther later on the
day.
with best regards
Blue_Panther

Also
we regrettably need to ask our dear dog owners to leave their four
footed friend behind. We will be frequenting public places and expect
a lot of people turning out for the last day of the fair. Authorities
