Hubi, a cap IS a hat! ;D
now, some names .....

108416-0
left to right...
Luit and Vroni van Delft, Gerd Knoche, Thomas Huber (Hubi, bare-headed), Erich Pasche,( who has lots of good hats),  Dirk (Udo looking much younger than his avatar!) Armin Ruby, with that smile of his !
I must take Luit's word that the man on the extreme right is Johan Mens, we have written but not met.... Ian Y says he looks familiar, so suggests he met this gentleman in Holland at the Dutch Conference  8)

Completely correct, Maggi!
Unfortunately Arne had to go home before we made this photo, so
he isn't on Luit's photo.

Maggi, in Germany there is a difference between a hat (for "old" people
and a (baseball)cap for young people which I wear in my Avatar.
But I have noticed, that there is NO difference in English. 8)

Now, Dirk, you have to take up Maggi's hint and change your Avatar  ;D

Hubi and Eriche Pasche look as though they could be related  :-X  
What an erudite crowd - makes me wish even more that I was there ... and that I could speak german :-[

Hubi, you will see that Dirk is wearing a woollen hat which is sometimes called a "beanie" in English.
Some hats do have other names!
Great idea about the avatar for Dirk, Hubi..... :D

Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Dirk would pass for Joe Sharman's, sorry Joe, brother.

I'm totally lost about this event. Who organised it and what country was it in? Maybe I'll attend next year. What's the nearest airport?
Antrim, Northern Ireland Z8

When the swifts arrive empty the green house

Maggi,

I have to agree with Thomas - there most certainly is a difference between a hat and a cap. A hat has a definite shape while the cap is soft - can be folded and put in a pocket, for example. I wear a hat but never a cap. "Cap" is pronounced "Keeapp" in Ireland, certainly in rural Ireland.

Re photographs, I recognised only Thomas and Arne in the first photograph, both clear from their forum photographs.

But Paddy, for example Dirk's head gear is soft and can be folded into a pocket..... but it is not a cap.... it can be a beanie, but it is a hat......all caps are hats but not all hats are caps.....  ::)

Thomas didn't like the hat I sent him a couple of Christmases ago. It was a red beanie and I thought it would be good for German winters but......
