Good morning!

Any plans for a gathering in the US in 2025 or 2026 and if so, are there any details on dates, location, etc.  Thanks!

Eddie,

The Board started discussion about it but couldn't come to a consensus yet.  We know it will be in the east somewhere.

Pick Cleveland, Ohio . There is a lot to do! Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Crawford and Packard Auto Museums, Football Hall of Fame in Canton, and if you pick a date with an event at Mid Ohio, it would make for a great excursion 2 hrs drive. Ton of great restaurants also. And maybe one of the local MB dealerships would sponsor the event. Mercedes Benz North Olmsted, Mercedes Benz Bedford......Just thinking

How about a UK one.  ?   Possible at Brooklands or Mercedes world next door.   They might be happy to host as well? Anyone in the UK with contacts there?

We certainly have enough members in the UK that would warrant having some kind of gathering… But as we have learned with any of these, We need a local champion so to speak and some boots on the ground to take charge of the planning. Whoever chooses to do this, of course, will be aided by many other members to make it a team effort.

So who is willing to step up?

There were certainly plenty to do in the Cleveland area. But the question becomes once again who’s willing to step up and take charge of the planning? We need to have somebody local who would then be supported by other members as a team effort. Who in the Cleveland or Northern Ohio area is willing to do this?

European Event 2024 is being organised by James from the UK, and myself from the Netherlands.
We will skip 2025 in Europe... and we need some new people to step up to the plate of event organisation..
