[recycle]

i just got an idea...

celica club cyprus (at least some of us) travelling to europe.

this is about for next summer just writting this about what other european celica owners think.

can a pan-european meeting be possible?

i was thinking about rome but nothing is for sure now

what u guys think?

EDIT:

meeting will take place in imola track, san marino on 25 of august 2007, saturday.

its the place in so from egland, sweden need 2 days drive and from cyprus 3:P from other places in europe its just 1 day:)

details for meeting are coming soon:)

edit 2:
30 aug 2006
if u see the ideas and the "fighting" below i still beleive we need to do a celica meeting. we are all proud celica owners, and i think we all have the write to be on this meeting. i think u all like our meetings in cyprus, 100-130 celicas going somewhere all together and having fun. this was the first idea. a first to last generation celica meeting.

@ recycle....

1) I am cool with that. For me it is not important who is going to organize that. It is how well they do it... An i am sure who ever takes on this task of planing such a big event. Is going to put so much efort into that, that it will be a great event

2) Well i do not agree with that point if i understood you right. It is important to plan such things in advance. And 1 Year is not much time! I planed one of the GT Four meetings myself. And it is a lot of work!!! So lets get some ideas together (when, where and how) and then lets build a organization team (with wolf and who ever would like to participate) because it is a lot of work! Trust me

3) I never said that it would be a GT Four event... Please reread my post. I was just trying to offer my help and wanted to point out some facts i had to encounter while i organized the last years meeting. I am sure you will agree. Anyway, we both said it is a Celica meeting. So lets get back to the point where we plan this meeting.

I would say lets make a full 2 Day Event.
With 1/4 Mile (looking forward to see u there Tufy )
some time on a great racetrack
and maybe a nice party at the track with our cars music, drinks and a BBQ....

So Wolf is Imola a racetrack we could rent for a day? (Is it possible? How high are the costs? can we use the space around the treck for side events?)
What else can we do at the same time at this location ( 1/4 Mile???) while maybe 40 of the 250+ cars are on the track?

cheers Joerg

Hi snakeloa,

don't worry about that.... the meeting is ALREADY ready, one year in advance !

Because I'll use the format I already used for every italian national meeting I made here.

So this is not a problem.

The only thing really important for me would be to know the EXACT ( +/- 10 ) number of participants...
and this could be know only few months before the date.

I could say that for the 31 MAY 2007, I have to know who will be here.

And I'll have to have a money account for EVERY participant:
that's how I make for every meeting I made to avoid problems with hotels, b&b, or restaurants' reservations.

For example a 150 euros account should be enough for a 2 days meeting.

And 50 euros more if we want to rent a track.

I would say lets make a full 2 Day Event.

Ok.
So 2 full day event in reality is a 3 days event...

With 1/4 Mile (looking forward to see u there Tufy )
some time on a great racetrack
and maybe a nice party at the track with our cars music, drinks and a BBQ....

BBQ ????

So Wolf is Imola a racetrack we could rent for a day? (Is it possible? How high are the costs? can we use the space around the treck for side events?)

No.
Imola is IN Imola city, so they allow to use the track only in FEW important events per year, Formula 1 and a drag race...

What else can we do at the same time at this location ( 1/4 Mile???) while maybe 40 of the 250+ cars are on the track?

We could rent the local track in Varano ( www.varano.it ), it should be ok for a 1/8 mile
Prices are 6500 euros reserved for us for ALL the day, with 50 cars it'll going to be a 130 euro for participant... but I think we are going to be more than 50 cars...
at least 20 cars from our celicat20.it, so the rent of the track should be cheaper...



To tell the thruth I'm sure it won't be so difficult to organize it and I tell you why...
because to move so many ( 50 ? ) cars, with many not-italian people, every transfer will be VERY slow...
so if we are planning to make a trackday for a day,
the other day we "only" will have the time to go to Maranello to see the "Galleria Ferrari"... 1,5 hours to go, a pair of hours to stay there, and 1.5 hours to return in Parma... then some fast mountain roads to go to the dinner place, and the day is gone !
