Hi Patrick & Dirk,

Can you put me down as a provisional booking?

I plan to attend & have put in a leave application for that weekend. As soon as I (hopefully) have it approved I will confirm.

As it is in The Hague I will probably fly to Schiphol & get the train from there.
I did this last year when I visited the Hague Prison.

I would recommend this to any of you guys that arrive early or are in no rush on the Sunday. They have a collection of restraints & some nice cells you can go in.

As I say, I will probably fly over which means I will not be able to bring a selection of items. As some of you know I work in the Airport industry, but I still cant get anything in writing about being able to carry Handcuffs in your carry on luggage.
Although you are allowed now (if you can prove a good reason), I dont want to be in a position where they say I cant bring them back. I spoke with security staff at the airport I work at & they were unaware that you can now carry handcuffs, so you can see my point.

I am going to get in touch with the airline I would be travelling with to see if they will give dispensation to carry cuffs on there flight & fingers crossed I will be able to bring some items over. Failing that I will have to put any cuffs in my hold baggage, so I wont be bringing anything of value, in case it goes missing.

I will keep you informed.

Hi Patrick & Dirk

I have made a note in the diary so please book me in. Not too sure how we will get there but will probably use EuroTunnel, guess it is probably about a 4 hour drive from Calais??

Did you say the convention is in a Hotel where the Friday evening pre get together dinner is being held? Patrick can you advise me on booking a room for Jenny & myself.

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

I guess it is about 4.5 hours drive.

We have an option on several hotelrooms for our guests from abroad
so no worry about that.

Great photos!

Here's the photo of Mark (right side up) of Pawn Stars fame holding 2 pairs of BRS handcuffs. Pictured on table to the right are a pair of GDR Cable Leg Irons, H&R Super Handcuffs and Clejuso 12D?

Jason,
Thanks for making the picture right-side-up.
For the folks in Europe, it was known that I was horizontal through much of the trip.

Hi Jason

flat key

it was a nice meeting and hope to invite more of the hancuff collectors at my home

Ah yes, the La Massenotte...

The connecting hardware would have been a deadpan giveaway on those cuffs. I have also considered these for the unofficial, official handcuffs of the famous French Inspector Jacques Clouseau, though I think that the LA PEGY (DEPOSE) would be a more befitting model.

Cheers!
Jason
