Ok, here is mine and Petra`s answer

We do not join just a German meeting Falko, pls. correct that into European Venturer meeting ;D
;D ;D

NL - yes
EU Meeting : yes
Date : May, 25th - May, 28

What is, if we set up a poll for the location of the EU meeting, like

Central Europe
South of Europe
or
UK

I think the point of the whole thing ......is ..........about the Venture Europe Club getting together ANYTIME. It makes no difference if you are going to the Meeting in the Nederlands or not...who cares...if you go...great, but having a get together or many get togethers.... (my preference), should not make any difference.......if you can come, come......if not, you will try the next time!!!!

That is the reason that I am advocating having many get togethers,,,,,,,not just one in May>>>>>what's wrong with TWO in May?? Three in June......the point is.....have many, in different areas....this makes it possible for people to pick which one they can go to...if you all want to go to the UK, great, do it, some may not make it...but have another in Southern France, or Swiss...etc......if 3 people show up...GREAT...if ten show of better!!!!!!!

These should not be one time events every year!!!!!! That's why I said, don't get all worked up over a place to have a get together just yet.....you have many chances to have them in lots of great places!!!! Keeping in mind, distances for many is a factor....so, if I set up a get together in Swiss for May 31, and there is another set up in the UK on May 10, as examples, people can choose which one is good for them...or go to both if they are able!!!!!! Not just one.................

Hope this is understandable..

very good point Johnjr. !
i will setup a poll about that question !!!

and i second your input !

[winghunter]

For my opinion the "Season opening Meeting" and Season Ends Meeting" should be highlights for us along the International Meeting.
That is the possibility to meet our friends all around Europe. Those meetings are not that big as the International Meeting and we do have more time to talk individually.

All other meetings, we can do as before and post under the Topic "Rides and Meets".

the last meeting reflected that very well. It was harmony pur, well organized and people cannot wait to meet each other again. If we would do that to often, it can be, that we destroy those kind of nice meetings.

Another point is, if someone wants to join more meetitngs in the year, he is free to visit the "National Meetings"

So, don`t be to fast in making decisions !

[Nacho]

Could anybody please explain to me what an "Opnening Seanson" is?

Is it something related to bikes? Is it important? What am I loosing myself?

We do not have those things down here. We only have one season all year and that's for riding all year ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry guys. I just couldn't resist it!!!!!

Take care,

Nacho.

[Falko]

good point nacho

but you know only a few drive all the year !

like me ;-))

and with minus 18 degrees ( the coldest i have done on my Venture ! )
you are def. alone on the street !

[Pi-eF vum Elsass]

If it's the case Falko, we can make a "winter meeting" all two !!! ( the southerners can't understand this pleasure ! )

[Falko]

you are welcome
maybe we do a meet at my uncle at the river Mosel
and test all of his winebottles
cause he is a winemaker
we talk about that later

OK...back to the Title of this thread!!!!

So, can we have someone get this updated with details about places to stay, hotels, etc. for those of us who are not campers...and other details about activites etc.?

[bunnie]

I don't know the city or region. I will look into it.

[doc]

Those kerkemeijer links don't work for me, so I'm still none the wiser about the meeting.

but international YES. Camping (because I'd rather have abeer then ride to a hotel)

European Don't know yet. I'm busy 12-14th at the NABD in the UK
