Dear members ,
After our successful Euro Event 2014 in the UK , organized by James , everybody is keen the know what the plans are for 2016.
Well since we gently persuaded James to organize the UK event , after our event in 2012 , we felt the need to try and get things going again.
During our stay in Goodwood I got talking with Johannes and Peter , 2 of our Northern Italian Members. I knew them since Willingen and during my journey down south to Italy we visited them in Merano , where they live. Merano is at the foot of the Alps on the south side. This part of Europe is one of the most beautiful places there is , mountains , history , good food , ambiance , and beautiful winding roads through the mountains. Merano itself is packed with history and the former health spa of queen Sissi ( you know the Movie ) . We got very impressed with the surroundings and really enjoyed our stay there .
So a plan emerged ! Johannes owns a great Hotel and Peter a Restaurant in the Botanical Gardens . I've been talking with them and they are willing to arrange things on there side. I've asked Paul , my friend and co-organizer in 2012 to help so we can coordinate and act as organizers.
So what do we have so far :
* we are trying to organize a Euro Event in Italy ( southern Tirol ) in 2016
* 23 September to 26 September 2016
* We initially have 20 Rooms available ( this means 20 Cars ! but we try to get some more )
* Budget : we try not to exceed the 2014 budget
* Paul will investigate a possibility to get our cars on a train or truck and we could fly over ...
We would like to know what you all think about our plans .... so please reflect and we will keep you posted !
And remember .... First come first go !
Greetings ,
Rick
