CAUTION
Dear participants, ladies & gentlemen,
Under these circumstances – where on top of that all passenger flights from and to the US are banned – I see no other solution...
The spring PaperMoneyFair on April 4+5 is CANCELED !!!
I never ever thought that I would have to write a text like this one... ever.
You and I “lost the battle” against the invisible enemy known as the Corona-virus, officially COVID-19 that controls most of Northern Italy and is spreading not only all over Europe at a high speed.
Now being upgraded from an epidemic to a pandemic, the conditions, the requirements and rules to organize an event like this (not only in Valkenburg!) have been re-viewed & changed on a national level with the consequences that NOW the event still MIGHT be allowed... but that may easily change in a few days. Like the representative of the City of Valkenburg who only last Friday assured me (!) there was no reason to worry.
That is why I continued even where some of you asked me to postpone it (-> impossible : in holiday season there are no hotels available in Valkenburg) or cancel it, others begged me to continue and a handful of dealers cancelled…
So I better do it now right away instead of waiting any longer…
I am fully aware that this decision to cancel will create a lot of problems for many of you. The only thing I can say is that the reason I have to do so is 100% beyond my control. I have no choice, no alternative.
But cancelling later (e.g. or on your arrival) would create an even bigger problem.
More info will follow…
We can only hope this whole situation will be over in September…
Kind regards from a very sad

You would like to book a stand for the bourse?
As a dealer or collector you have just fill in the form below. After that you will get the booking form via email. Please return this to us. PLEASE NOTE: if you book late, only 2-3 weeks before the event starts, you may not be included in the program booklet since that will be too late for the printer.
Rules
standholders and non-standholders, collectors and dealers
Commercial activity? Dealing or trading and you booked no table? As a collector (or dealer) you are always free to trade or sell to dealers with a stand. Of course! If you are a collector you are most welcome to sit down in the restaurant area and trade with fellow collectors.
As long as there is no large scale dealing, there is no problem. However, briefcase, suitcase and backpack dealers are kindly reminded that other dealers paid a table fee to participate in this bourse.
If you choose to set up your (free) stand in the restaurant area - or anywhere else in the building - you will be told by the security people and Organistion to stop dealing immediately. If seen a second time you can be removed from the room!
If you want to offer notes to dealers, go to their table! If you want to offer notes to collectors, book a table!
NO NON-PAPERMONEY COLLECTIBLES ALLOWED during Saturday & Sunday! During dealersbourse on Friday no restrictions! We choose not to allow more than one independant dealer at a table under the name of just one of them! This is in your own interest and also in the interest of the visitor (collector/dealer) at your table! Any business done will be done under your name, since that is the name in the program your table is listed under. It may be confusing for your customers and in case any bad deals are made, they look to be made by you, not the other dealer at your table sharing. Therefore every dealer should be listed under his own name. You should book a shared table or two 1/2 tables under your and his name instead!
Back-up tables may not be used to enlarge your tablesize. They areto be used as storage place behind you, and your table! These may not be used as enlargements of your table by putting them directly behind, or (in an angle) along your table, to create a larger table.
Enlarging your tables by using your own tables, boxes or otherwise is not allowed! So you cannot use other structures like own gardentables or boards e.g. It is not a flee market! If you need more space - book an enlarged or extra table please.
Tables may not be sublet without the approval of the Organisation!
Contemporary and collectable forgeries should be identified as such!
No cleaned or doctored notes are to be offered unless identified as such! pimpa.gif Dealers should have their tables attended at all times.
The Organisation cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage.
Dealers shall provide their own insurance. Visitors, collectors (your customers) expect to find all dealers present as listed in the program they receive.
BUT if you have to leave early on the Sunday afternoon or sooner, please inform the Organisation. Thank you
All table holders as well as their assistants must wear (their own) badges visible.
Nameblock & flag should also be visible all times.
Foreign dealers are responsable for proper declaration of their material with customs.
Standholders are kindly requested to return the badge(s) as well as the name-block & flag after the bourse! Leave the table cloth (and showcase PLUS key!) on the table.
Please mention this bourse in your pricelists and other publications!
Thank you!
