pan-european celica meet on parma/north italy, 25-26 Aug 2007 Options

[vsideboy]

I'm not from parma but I reckon that we all go for a nice cold beer and some grub at some point on the trip anyway.

MAYBE even go for a boogie (dance) somewhere if theres any good nightclubs?

that is the sure thing:) beers and night out...
the question is about the rest

[vsideboy]

well, my lass will deffo want to see the sights and soak up some sun as this will be her summer holiday.

still not the answer about the 25th of august these are the side effects of the meeting... we all want to see the sun and the sights and have (really cold) beers and go out all together. but the actual meeting is the day we all go a place put the car in line and take good fotos

[vsideboy]

yeah i know mate. just bored so joining in the conversation.

[vsideboy]

get a row of cars in the foreground of this at night?



or in the foreground of this




and maybe in this square here?





ok probably not all that easy, just trying to be of some use. I'll leave it to the italy crew.

till now for the meeting to the unknown yet near parma we have people interested from:

england
sweden
czech rep
russia
italia
and cyprus.
EDIT: lets not forget holland

i have to guess that is hollydays time in other counties that have for sure beautiful celicas (like germany spain france greece and ofcourse lithouania) so they did not show any interest yet.

of course if any american wants to join us (someone that is willing to put his car in ship to europe and back) he/she is very welcome

mates, here we talk about ideas.... Imola was an idea but (unfortunately) not a good one cos we cannot get inside... the only sure think is that is going to be in north italy... cos is centre of europe

Wolf u are from Parma... what u think we should do in that meeting? where to meet and where to go?

Let me explain...

I'm the co-president of the celicat20 italy club, and I use to organize every national meeting we make, because Parma is quite central between Northern Italy and Rome.

So it would be not a big problem for me to make another one... for sure I have to make it here 'cause I perfectly know the places !

What we should do?
Everything we want !
Usually we make in this way:

Saturday we wait for all the people to come here in the afternoon... usually the place is located in Varano, at the local circuit ( www.varano.it ).

Then, as soon as all the people is arrived, we move to the b&b, and after to the restaurant.

Sunday morning usually we make a 50/60 kms trip of mountain roads to reach typical restaurant in the Appennini mountain.

In the afternoon there is then the time for pics, and walk.

We can even think about making 100 kms the next Monday to go to the Tirrenian sea.

WE have time, so any idea is appreciated...

mr co-president i love the way u organise italian meetings

here is my idea... close to yours.

friday we meet in parma... in a central spot of parma.. maybe a square next to a coffee shop or something similar. it has to be something easy to be found. for all of us it is going to be a very long day.. miles and miles of travelling so you should show us directions of the hotels we arranged from before.

saturday at noon we get all together we have something to eat and meet up and we do a nice travel to the local track (*) for hundreds of fotos and have time. we go later back to parma for saturday night out and lots of cold beer, or wine, or vodka or what ever we wish for

sunday after the headache from alcohol passes we can go for good trip... dont know where u choose to see italy... maybe like the ferrari museum or anything. i know italy is very beautiful country an i dont thing we get bored. dont forget that something u see every day and dont want to see it any more i something we never saw it before and we would love to see it. (this is the only difference from home meetings... u choose different place every time)

monday the official meeting will be history but (who ever has time and wants) can go anywhere with italian friends directions (alone or in groups or even all together) and have the hollydays of our lifes. (for example i want to visit monaco )

this is the plan in general. what u guys think? what u like and what u dont like? all opinions are welcome

(*) i contacted imola track (with some help from malpaso) if is possible to go there and drive in the track. i am waiting for reply. if the reply that we can go there i beleive is the only thing on the plan that can not be changed.

2 points i missed:

on friday cars can not come on same time.. its almost impossible to arrange what time finishes a 1-2-3 thousand km trip. so some of us will have to stay there almost all day long. ofcourse there is are the mobile phones... very helpfull now days so we get in contact if we miss a turn or get lost or be late. every one in a convoy MUST have at least one others number and the head of the convoy must have all of them. (this is a detail)

second point is that noone has to be there all 3 days. maybe one wants or can come only 1 or 2 days. he is also welcome just to tell us to arrange where we meet. everything in the meet is optional but it will a shame to come all that way and not to feel the whole meeting.. cos i beleive is not just be in the meet or seeing the meet... is feeling the whole thing.

[vsideboy]

I like the sound of all of it.
We will probably take a week or two off work so we are flexible as to when we set off on the trip and when we leave for home.

Hopefully if all the uk people could do something similar (maybe not 2 weeks but long enough so we aren't rushing to get there and back? Maybe stop off at a B&B on the way there? who knows? we can sort that out nearer the time with the rest of the uk convoy.

Let me decide what's better for the meeting planning...
for example it's not a good idea to have the first meet, waiting for all to come, in Parma... too much confusion!
I'll choose a place out of the city and near the highway exit.
If you really want to help me, just let me know what you prefer me to take you to see... for example:
maranello-ferrari?
Parma centre-monuments and shops?
A day at the tirrenian sea?

And please tell me how many days i have to organize...
3 days? That is to say the arriving would be on Thursday and i'll organize the meeting for Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
Obviously people can arrive everyday of the meeting, not necessarily on Thursday.

i believe is better u deside most of us have no idea what is worth seeing.. u choose something interesting and we will follow

[Wolf_tm]

Ok...

I think now it's the time to beginning to count how many people would come, where they'd come from,
and how much days they want the meeting will be ( max 3 days - min 2 days )

PS: I am talking about the meeting only.
Obviously if someone wants to arrive here and have an holidays the days just before or after the meeting, I'll give him advices for the places.

001 Wolf_Tm250 - Italy - 2 or 3 days

[vsideboy]

001 Wolf_Tm250 - Italy - 2 or 3 days
002 Vsideboy - Dan - UK - 2 or 3 days (+ girlfriend)

cyprus: unknown number

5 cars so far and i havent told the celica club cyprus members yet

we plan a meeting in october and we will tell them then. i dont think the number of the cars infect the meeting plans a lot. (we are too many to just give them a call now)

Obviously it's too early to make a real list of members that will come...

btw, for example, the ideal would be to have an accomodation for ALL the members and cars in the same hotel:
for the last italian meeting, I found locally an hotel in province with many rooms and closed park for the cars...
but if we are going to be more than 30 cars/50 members I'll have to find something else...

i hope for 30-40 cypriot cars at the meeting. but 10 will be success.

(note: i calculated the cost cyprus-italy-cyprus and is almost 3000 euro)
