I think (hope) that Steve will add some additional information. 

He did talk with Geoff about something which I really did not understand :-)

Don't feel bad - I didn't understand it either... ;-)

Cheers

Well. I guess that s it.. Suitcases are packed, soon to be loaded and in an hour or so i ll be on my way . What a superb experience the whole thing has been.. Superb is in fact an understatement.. for a newbee like me, it was a mind blowing eye opener..  It will take time to let it all soak in, but one thing is sure... i ll never look at a  B&O item in the same way

Lee and Jette, Thank you for making it all happen.. You ve made one of my dreams come true, and painted my sky with Beostars... and THAT is priceless. 

big Hugs to all of you from the only ... me 

BBSB  aka. Big bellied smily bear 

Thanks to KeithI can show up with my first picture of no. 14 in the group photo. I am just relaxing in front of the B&O factory after my little ride of 670 km from BI in D to Struer in DK. That was at High noon on Monday. Now I am still digesting not only a few fine meals but quite a few events too ... Peter the biker

But my iPad pervents me from inserting the picture correctly. You have to wait until friday next week >>> I have added the picture for you Peter

Before I explain the story behind the photo I would like to take this opportunity too thank Lee, Jette, and the rest of the B&O team who made this visit so special for Barbara and I, if I were to compare this with anything it would be like visiting Manchester United Stadium and meeting the players.

Walking around the different locations and meeting so many interesting people who were very willing to answer any questions we had to ask, try doing this with Apple.

About this photo, late last year l order the new BV7-40 3D tv and at the same time l also ordered a cover for the BV7 because in the past when l have any building work taken place in the house l always have to find very large plastic bags to cover all my B&O equipment but with such a large set l could not find anything large enough to fit. My local dealer is B&O of Watford who l have known for over 12 years having spent  time and money up grading my B&O equipment over the years, my contact with the shop is Paul one the directors and having read stories about very bad dealers on this forum l can safely say Paul is one of the good guys and nothing is too much trouble for him as l found out yesterday to my cost.

 Going back to my cover the BV7 turned up but with no cover some weeks later it turned up but l was told it was the wrong size (Paul knew l was going on this visit) weeks went by still no cover but what l did not know was it had come in and Paul went to the trouble of having an embroidered inscription attached marking my visit to the Farm this was done in the UK by Paul and sent over to Struer to be presented too me by Tue yesterday.

This came as a complete surprise to me and more so that Barbara was told about this over 2 months ago, who says women cannot keep secrets! when l was called down to meet Tue and to receive the present it was like when l was 15 years old and walking onto the stage at school to receive my prefects badge from my headmaster and to shake his hand it was such a shock (a nice one) with this happening it was the icing on the cake.

During our stay in Struer we meet so many very interesting forum members from across the world including Steve, Lee, Guy and Keith to name but a few, we will have very fond memories of our visit and to finish up we are numbers 6 & 8 in the group photo.

Regards

Glenn & Barbara

Delighted to hear you have all had such a good trip. I have been on three trips there, each better than the time before. B&O are superb hosts and exceedingly generous. I am sure there are many stories to hear and sights to describe and i look forward to meeting up with some of you in the future. Busy making sure the Triumph is up to the next trip!!

On Wednesday morning during our meeting with Jens Harder (Project Manager, Home Automation -- Product Definition) and Brian Bjorn Hansen (Senior Manager, R&D) many items related to 3rd party integration were discussed including updates to the Masterlink Gateway and other ways to integrate other partner products.

Jen stated that they produced an "Ideas Catalogue" which is updated every 6 months and normally only provided to the dealers, but Jens has kindly agreed to make it available to Beoworld members. The catalogue is in PDF format and 4.6MB in size and can be downloaded from the server

On Tuesday morning the group spent time in the B&O internal store where the new store designs are developed. On product which was demonstrated was the new BeoPlay A3 which is an interested design and was highlighted earlier in this thread,
