I second that! 🥰

Those signed up for September should have had an email from me yesterday.

Please look out for it as a reply is REQUIRED by email. (Please don’t respond on here)

If you didn’t get the email, please message me and we’ll investigate.

Thanks

[JamesL]

Still waiting for a reply from 9 of those that signed up

[Tom]

James, if that was the shirt email, I hope you received my reply email. Don’t want to miss out!  Looking forward to the event.

[MP]

Can you say who you are waiting for.

[JamesL]

All have now replied

[Kemal]

Good afternoon all,

Any final updates to the Pagoda European event?
I realise it must be time-consuming and exhausting, however, I just thought I should check in as the anticipation and the excitement is driving me bonkers. 😊

Have a wonderful weekend.
Kemal

[Jonny B]

And we certainly don't want any bonkers Pagoda-ites out there!

(Kemal - Looking forward to seeing you in September)

[Kemal]

Thank you JB,
So looking forward to seeing you too 

[Peter van Es]

We are working on the arrangements and we still have a couple of months...

So just remain excited and bonkers...

Hi,
although I cannot take part in this year's Euro event, I would like to highly recommend (before or after) a visit to the not far away (<50 km) city of Trier, the oldest city in Germany and the former capital of the Roman Empire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trier

Ooh, thanks for the heads up, we’ll take a look on map to see where it is in relation to our route

Someone also suggested visiting Waterloo as apparently a great museum etc there? Not sure if anyone else been there? Would be interested in feedback if they have been ☺️

Yes, I went there last year on my way home from the Pagoda Rally in Nuremberg.  The Waterloo Museum is BRILLIANT!!!

My son and I stayed at the Van Der Valk Hotel in Waterloo, which was very comfortable with a good restaurant (but not cheap...).

Also, if you go to Trier, try the Karl Marx Museum as Trier is his birthplace.

Any of the UK participants leaving on Wednesday for the trek to Luxembourg?  Looking to convoy together with someone(s) through the channel tunnel. 

[RAY]

Hi Tom,
Yes myself and Lee are leaving Wednesday 25th, catching Le Shuttle at Folkestone at 10.16 local time drive 11.51 Calais, driving down to Reims for a stopover and on to Luxembourg Thursday.
Staying at Au close du Lac, Gueux just outside of Reims near to the old motor racing circuit.
Your more than welcome to join us.
Will you be in a Pagoda ?
Ray.

I am also considering where to stop on our way back to Schiphol and are curious what you found so interesting at the Museum? https://www.museewellington.be/musee/?lang=en

[Peter van Es]

On your way back to Schiphol?

Maastricht, https://www.visitmaastricht.com

We didn't get to that museum as we spent a lot of time here https://www.waterloo1815.be/en/  before we had to leave to drive back to euro-tunnel at Calais.  This museum is at the actual site of the battle, and as a history buff I found the whole visit really interesting, as did my then 15 year-old son.  it's well worth a visit.

[Tom]

Ray,

Thanks for the PM chat and I’m booked at your time on the Le Shuttle. Will send PM for more details.
