Hi, below is an English translation of the Polish document. A couple of things to note....a) Not everything is directly translatable from one language to another, so there may be some syntax errors (all dates, times, prices etc are accurate). B) I have nothing to do with the organising of this event, so wont be able to answer any questions on it. I just translated the Polish doc.

2016 Convention

Newsletter 11.12.2014

What info do you need for the convention to take place? To prevent all organisation from hinging on one person, we will rely on past years’ experiences and will create teams responsible for particular activities, keeping the information flow alive. If anyone of you is interested in participating in the organisation and help please contact. We need your support! The teams are not finalized yet and the tasks are being defined.

We are happy to announce the date and place of the meeting:

Dates: 24.06.2016 - 26.06.2016

Place: Dornburg-Frickhofen

What speaks for this location?! It is located quite centrally between Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Poland and Denmark... In addition to that, the road infrastructure is good – A3 (Limburg) and A45 (Wetzlar). The B&B is in woodland, so we won’t disturb anybody. Many attractions are located nearby – a swimming pool, castles etc. Camping (limited number of tents) is possible on the grounds of the B&B, there are many places in the B&B, the kitchen is available, as well as toilets and showers, place for a bonfire, large roofed patio useful in rainy weather. Something nice for everyone!

Such a convention needs certain rules and regulations which need to be kept. For the purposes of the convention a bank account has been set up. Due to limited space for tents and number of beds in the B&B (52 beds), the allocation of rooms will be taken over by the organisation team.

If someone would like to reserve a bed or place for tent, a booking must be made. Booking deposit is required, 50 euro (children up to 14 yo: 10 euro). Thanks to booking, we can better estimate the amount of food to buy, in order not to buy too much. Booking deposit is returned immediately upon arrival. When transferring the booking deposit to our account, please state the reference, either of the following:

1) Booking of bed – Volvo convention 2016
2) Booking of tent place - Volvo convention 2016
3) General booking - Volvo convention 2016
4) Donation for the church

If a transfer is done without one of the first 3 reference options, it will be registered as a donation for the convention.
A family comprised of 2 adults a 3 children wanting to camp shall pay 130 euro booking deposit.
Bank account details:

IBAN DE09 5002 0000 0028 1719 00

BIC SEZDDEF1XXX

Please send your comments, ideas questions – we will try to answer in the next newsletter.

Volvo Meeting 2016
2nd newsletter – 28th March 2016

How time flies… there are only a few weeks left until the international Volvo 480 meeting will take place near Limburg. Date and location stay the same: 24th June to 26th June 2016 in Dornburg-Frickhofen. It has been done a lot since the 1st newsletter in December 2014. Certainly, the following information is important for you:
1) Accommodation:
There is a house available with more than 40 beds, sanitation and a kitchen. Furthermore, there are possibilities to put up tents for those who prefer to sleep in the open (but please note that camping sites are very limited!).
The accomodation is family-friendly, so please bring your kids: there is a playground as well as a covered seating area – including a fireplace to start a campfire.
Once you have registered for the meeting, you’ll get the registration documents -including the address – about 2 weeks before the meeting will take place.

2) Catering:
There will be a large breakfast selection on Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday and Saturday evening, we are going to have a barbecue. Please note that the barbecue on Friday will be a „small one“, whereas the barbecue on Saturday will offer more variety. On Saturday, there will also be an alternative hot meal.

3) Families favoured:
There are several leisure activities possible, so please bring your whole family! The location is in a forest, so there are many hiking trails. You can visit an open air path which is within walking distance or a gravel-pit. Frickhofen even has a rail connection in case you don’t want to use your car for sightseeing activities.

4) Booking:
In order to make a reservation for a bed we require a deposit from you. You will get the deposit back on your day of arrival in Frickhofen. You won’t get your deposit back if you don’t take part in the meeting! In this way, we try to ensure that you will really participate in our meeting, as we have to plan things like catering and so on.
Should all beds be fully booked, we support you in finding a hotel. Of course, you are free to look for hotels and guesthouses in the surrounding villages. Please note, that costs for hotel accomodation have to be paid by yourself!

Booking will be made as follows:
- number of persons = number of beds = 50,00 Euro deposit per bed (children up to 14 years: 10 Euro)
- bank transfer to the account mentioned below; please provide following information:
- your name
- number of persons
- note: „Booking Volvo Meeting 2016“ – „bed“ or „tent“ or „general“ or „donation“
- send a separate email to info@480er.com including a note how many people are going to come and how long you will stay
- after receipt of payment you will get a confirmation via email; only by receiving our confirmation your bed is considered as „reserved“!

5) Agenda:
Besides the leisure opportunities already mentioned, there will be some special activities around the Volvo 480, e.g. a rallye (similiar to the rallye you might have taken part at an Europe Meeting), some workshops, an auction and the possibility of swapping spare parts.
You can decide spontaneously whether you want to join or not. The distance has about 110km. Along the way, there will be opportunities for taking a meal or shopping and so on.
On Sunday, we are going to have some „special tests“ for you. That will be fun – be surprised!


6) Funding / Finance:
The meeting should be free of charge for the participants. Of course, please feel free to make a donation if you are satisfied with the event.
So far, we are funding the event by spare parts sales and donations.
We consider the meeting like a familiy reunion: we invite you to party with us – after all, our beloved 480 has been excisting for 30 years now!


If you haven’t booked a bed yet, you should hurry up: the house is almost fully booked.

Finally, these are the account data:
