International Meet up - 17/18/19 May 2024 - Bruggen

[Martin63]

Have drawn on the back of an envelope a graph of the numbers signed up so far each month and then drawn a line on wards until May.
So I sort of calculate you will have 90 Volvo 480 owners signed to attend by May.
Lets see over the coming few months if it plateaus off, keeps on its steady climb upwards or if there is a rush to sign up nearer to May.
Cheers, Richard.

Jan, Thijs and I are monitoring the sign up closely. We have been very pleasantly surprised by the levels of interest. As with most events though there's not an infinite number of attendees possible. Car parking alone is already a big challenge.

We have a planning meeting soon and will then issue an update.

Thanks for your very useful observations

I have just booked with the online form for my father and I to attend and have made a booking request to the hotel.

Great news James! There's a Eurotunnel (now Le Shuttle) 15% off deal that ends soon.

Thanks Jan - great to see the first sign up from an Italian 480 driver!

[jamescarruthers]

Just for numbers counting, I will be +1, as in my application form hopefully.

[Jan_Berlin!]

I'm curious to see if your statistics are correct

Have drawn on the back of an envelope a graph of the numbers signed up so far each month and then drawn a line on wards until May.
So I sort of calculate you will have 90 Volvo 480 owners signed to attend by May.
Lets see over the coming few months if it plateaus off, keeps on its steady climb upwards or if there is a rush to sign up nearer to May.
Cheers, Richard.

I have finally signed up! I am so excited!

Is there a UK convoy group which I can tag along with? What method of crossing the channel are we all using?

[richard-smyth]

Hi, Martin one of the organisers and me have just started a Whats-app group for UK drivers going to the big meet up.
So anyone from the UK going please message us your mobile number so you can be added.
I'm going via the Ferry from Hull to Rotterdam on Friday the 17th of May.
Others in the south of England are probably going via the Euro tunnel.
Cheers, Richard.

[Martin63]

I have finally signed up! I am so excited!

Is there a UK convoy group which I can tag along with? What method of crossing the channel are we all using?

Excellent! I am travelling via Le Shuttle (the fancy new name for Eurotunnel!) but I am heading out a week earlier to visit the Ardennes region at long last.

Do please DM me your number if you are on WhatsApp and I can add you to the UK event attendees group that Richard mentioned recently. We can then swap travel details.

We will be issuing a full event update very soon to everyone who has signed up for the International Meeting taking place in May. This evening Thijs, Jan and I have just finished a 2.5 hour planning call. Jan and Thijs visited the Dutch/German border area this weekend.

So there's lots of news to be shared very soon!

[dragonflyjewels]

Al and I are going on le shuttle on the 17th 14.20 crossing.
