General Impression: Good timing, early finishing on Saturday. Visit of Mr.Georges-Louis Bouchez, president of the MR (liberal party in Wallonia). Many exhibitors from France as Mons is close to the border to France and on the highway Paris-Brussels. Number of visitors was not bad.
Minor remarks or suggested points of improvement: The main ring was rather long and could be a little more square, but this is just splitting hairs.
