Hi
Unfortunately on Saturday my child has his First Communion so I will not be able to join the 8 Family. It is a pity, because I had already planned the trip and the area is ashtonishing!
We will keep you updated on other members plans, we have post in e31.es forum as well.

** International BMW 8 Serie Meeting 2017 - Colman - France **


the French Club will organize this year’s International Meeting.
Antonin TEYSSIR has published the date and program in time. Actually there are no questions unanswered.
Maybe a bit more marketing within the Forum would have been recommended or just publishing the list of participants.


2014 - about 130 8er BMW have been in Munich, surely a special date
2015 - Valencia, Spain. About 40 8er BMW. Even in Spain the Russian „delegation“ included more cars than the German one
2016 - Netherlands - we haven’t been there but we would have like to. Unfortunately it „overlapped“ with our France - Italy Toure.
2017 - The French are thinking about a cancellation! Because of the little registrations.
(Sarcasm ON: The Munich group of regulars is usually better attended - Sarcasm OFF)


Is there really no interest of an International Meeting? Where are the Swiss, Austrians - this is nearly on your doorstep. What about the German? There are so many 8er owners in the Rhine Valley. South Germany, West Germany - this is no distance for you! At the beginning the Scandinavian showed their interest, are there some participants from Norway, Sweden? What about Spain, Italy, UK and all the other countries?


Personally I thin it would be a shame if the Meeting has to be cancelled. BMW 8er Community?


Hopefully the one or other will still give a feedback / Registration at Antonin.
I hope to see you in Colmar.


Regards,


Heinz

Hi all,

I fully agree with Heinz. Cancellation of an 8er meeting is a clear no no.
As I already wrote in an email to Antonin today I think we need more promotion.
My impression is, that meanwhile there is more activity on FB than in the spezialised forums.
Let's use FB to promote the meeting and reopen the registration window for another month.
Why is it necessary to close it 2.5 months before the event takes place?

Cheers and heads up
Wolf

Hi All

Many thanks Wokke for your support and try to find solutions...
Because of Hotel booking deadline … After we can't assume rooms availability, I pre-book for free 48 rooms after we have to manage cancellation policy with hotels.

Cheers

Hello everyone

Our International Meeting between the Vosges and Alsace ended sunday afternoon and the whole team is well back.
A total of 26 BMW 8 Series were present during these 4 days representing Russia, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Romania and France with 45 participants.

On a personal note, I would like to thank all the participants who have come from far away, especially those who contributed to the success of this event: Gilles, Wladimir, Mickael and Patricia (president of the BMW Club Z1).

Cheers.
