Title: Any plans for another international C5 meeting?
Post by: steve_1360 on 18, February, 2012 - 08:54:55
After reading about the trip to Holland in 2011 which sounded like fun  ;D  is there an international event planned for this year?

Not as yet , mainly due to lack of funds  :-[ and work commitments (the Olympics means no time off for me between mid July and mid September  >:()

You're right in that the Zutphen trip was absolutely superb and is definately something I'd like to repeat as soon as we can, and the cost wasn't too excessive. Transporting all the c5's is a bit of a pain as there is no cheap and easy way of doing it  :-\ but Frank has another route around Zutphen that would take in about a dozen stately homes and castles so would be well worth the effort. 

If there is enough interest, maybe something for our 2013 list of events ?

Sounds like Frank has another good trip around Zutphen all worked out 8)

I know its a bit early to commit yet but I would be interested in a trip next year, always fancied a trip to Holland.

I´m also very interested in a new meeting in Holland, for me is a military maniouver carry my family of six, my motor home and the three C5s from Spain through the Channel to England, but to Holland is easier, and cheaper of course, even driving more than 1.500 miles from my home. Channel boat means almost two travel days more. Definitively I support the idea of Holland 2013 meeting  ;D ;D.

Rafael - mate - if you're prepared to travel 1,500 miles to get to a c5alive meeting you deserve a medal  8). I'll have to speak with Frank later on and see what he thinks about a 2013 Netherlands run.
