Dutch TVR oldies & S-meeting (May 29 @ 11:00 - 17:00)

[HvdWeerden]

Ladies / Gents,

The Dutch TVR Club is organising an S-Meet on May 29th !!
I know we are all very busy with all kinds of trips but I have been asking the Dutch TVR Club for years to organise an S-Meet and finally they did ;-)

The meeting is planned at the Dutch National Military Museum and we can use a dedicated TVR Parking

I go on holiday June 1st don't think I would
get away with it, will there be another one?

[v8s4me]

Han - Can you recommend any not too expensive hotels near by? Is any body going? It would be great to show some British support for this event.

[Scoobimax]

If we can get a few together for a cheapish w/e away it would be great to support Han, after all he supports us on this island with numerous trips over here to SCH etc.

Come on fellahs, let's get a group together.

Let's start a list:

1. Scoobimax & me Luch
2. v8s4me???
3.

That is Soest, Germany not Holland.....

[phillpot]

Go on then, be rude not to




Bit over 200 miles from Calais by my (actually Michelin Route planner) reckoning, but that's nearly 100% Motorway. Find us a decent route Han ... or Frank

Got it from the web site, how far is it then

[bluezeeland]

Direct, Mway is indeed 200 miles/call it 3 hours from Calais to Soest

If you wan to come over on the Saturday, leisurely, have dinner (and a beer, or two ) sunday morning drive out (Han ? route ? ) go to the venue, leave in the afternoon for home ?

I am not at all certain we can make this ourselves, will book once the date comes nearer...

I need to convince Mrs T to come along....but this looks like a grand idea. Will there be tulips?

Tell her I'm going - she'd love to meet me properly

[RayTVR]

Hmmmm. ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam crazy prices, but maybe Hull Rotterdam would work, bit less than £300.

Not sure why top gear Steve is trying to persuade my wife to come along, but whatever.......

[v8s4me]

Don't forget Monday 30th May is Bank Holiday Monday so ferry prices will be a rip-off. Dinner in Bruges on Monday night and come back on the Tuesday instead maybe?

[Barry S1]

About £120 Saturday come back Monday
On Eurotunnel

[v8s4me]

Bank Holiday traffic on the M25? And because it's a Bank Holiday Monday, it will be piing down.

[Barry S1]

I know, I'm going on holiday Wednesday,and your
going away again in July apparently

[HvdWeerden]

Guys (and Lucia), what a fantastic response ! Very good to read you are planning to come to Holland ;-)

Of course I can find some "value for money" Hotels in/around Helmond.
We could also do a tour on Saturday and a good diner/beer in the evening.

Depends a bit what the general idea is, crossing the pond on Friday evening/ drive from Calais/Duinkerken to Helmond takes about 2,5-3 hours (scenic a bit longer) . Do a trip Saturday afternoon ?
S-meet on Sunday (incl scenic route to Soest). Return to Blighty on Monday ?

Let me know your plans and I will do some prep work.
1 couple could stay at our home in the attic (the Longers suite ;-)

Cheers, Hanita

Calais - Helmond : 3 hours



Helmond - Soest : 1,25 hours (not scenic)

Monday, drive to Bruges and stay in hotel we (me, Barry & Alan) stayed in last year. Afternoon evening in that beautiful city for food and MORE beer.

Return Tuesday via Duinkerken. (Avoid Calais, it's in France!). Yes I know Dunkirk is too, but only just
