European meeting/anniversary !!!
Some news
First of all, nice to see your interest ... and nice to find a belgian guy too !
It's true that there's almost nothing in Netherlands (some 1st gen owners being affiliated to general Ford clubs), but it exists a Probe belgian website, and some belgian owners sometimes post on the french forum ... with swiss and camadian too !
This little message is just to inform everybody that the european meeting may be moved (to be confirmed) to the 3rd week-end of september (20-21/09) instead of the last week-end as planed previously. This may help getting more UK owners (driving back from holidays).
Does it make a difference for you ?
In addition, it's now almost sure that it will stand in the east of France to get max people : Bourgogne or Alsace ... especially for german drivers
I hope this may help you to plan your schedule ...
Finally, please have a look at the Gallery section to see what we are preparing for this meeting ...

Sounds good to have the meeting in a more eastern location, should make it easier for me to get there as well. I also checked out the french probe site/forum except I don't speak a word of french , but I managed to get my way to the pics section and I gotta say you guys have some nice probes over there.
About the belgium site though, I take it it's a french belgium site cause I haven't been able to find a dutch one. Could you give me a link to it though, if you have one, so I can check it out? Thanks.

Yes, it's a french speaking site : http://membres.lycos.fr/fordprobe. Not a lot of traffic in the forum, but you may contact the webmaster to start belgian meetings ...
On the other hand, if you prefer dutch speaking guys, I've got a contact in Nederlands ... The guy there owns a white 1st gen.
We're waiting for you in september .. Do you plan to come ?

Well, after long discussions on different forums, the Probe european meet is set to take place on 13/09 in MERLIMONT in North of France.

Strange to see that german drivers seem not motivated by this meet whereas others are : UK, B, NL, CH, CZ ...Saku hat geschrieben:And even this fact kills all of my intension...
As stated in my previous message, (some) drivers plan to stay on Saturday evening. So we are now trying to manage common facilities to have a longer meet all over the week-end ... Do we have to keep our effort that way to have a chance to see any german representative ?

Well... could be the same reason, why you do not want to come to Greiz in the end of August this year to meet about 60 other Probes.Strange to see that german drivers seem not motivated by this meet

Well, there is already a big meeting in Greiz and that's for three days. Then there's also another meeting planned in Haan. Also for three days. So why should I drive such a long distance for 1, in words: ONE!, day when I can have two meetings each for 3 days and much nearer ?
I wasn't sure if I wanted to come to your meeting because of the distance. Now that I know that it's just for one day I know for sure that I won't come.

Do they also have two big meetings coming up in their countries ? If you organize such a big meeting you should also plan 1 or 2 days more. What did you expect ? I can ask in opposite why you don't come to our big meets ?!?Strange to see that german drivers seem not motivated by this meet whereas others are : UK, B, NL, CH, CZ ...
switzerland has a meeting coming up, but not such a big one... it's a one day meeting on september 7th (check the thread 'swiss probe drivers' in the lounge for more infos... it's german there, but if there are any questions i'd be glad to answer).
i guess that most of the swiss probes are coming from the french speaking part of switzerland... so they don't have to drive that far.

By the way, Yann, are you sure, PROBEdrivers from CZ will appear at your meeting? So I'm wondering why they won't come to Greiz this year, because the distance is not that high.
By the way again, it is really too short, if people from all these countries you mentioned are able to meet only several hours... I deem that's not enough time to share knowledge, experience and have lots of fun, indeed. I think you should think about the duration twice. But for all, it is a great thing you're doing there. But unfortunalty a little bit too short and so too expensive for many of us.

Salut Yann!
First of all, i have to agree with the given opinions about your meeting. I was quite interessted too, but now that I know that it'll be only for some hours or at least one day, all my interrests have gone with the wind.
I don't kow why other Country want to join you, but I can't believe that it's only a German thing to say no. I guess most of the Guys you're expecting too see, won't come either. The Difference is, that we say it in advance.
Actually I think that you could also win German fans for the meeting, by giving the possibility (and the sense!) to stay for at least 2 days. Although, i hope you'll have a real great event!
Merci pour t'attention.
René

First, thanks for all your feedbacks ! Sure they help us to build a better meeting !
Coming back on french attendance in Greiz & other foreign national meetings, I posted your invitation (thanks a lot again for that) on our forum but people already planned their holidays a long time ago. (Un)fortunately, France is the most visited country in the world and we really have to anticipate our holidays to have a chance to get booking on destinations where we tend to go (typically peolpe use to plan their prefered locations 1 year before, sometimes a little bit less, but sometimes more ...). Therefore I got feedback that there will be only little chance for them to attend ... this year. I'm really sorry about this fact but I prefer to be honest with you than to promise something that wouldn't come.
I really understand your concerns (distance, other national meets ...), that's why I have asked our club to extend the meeting to the entire saturday + sunday.
So we are now working on it but we want to be sure what to prepare depending on how many people plan to come/stay. As you indicated, saying it in advance is a good process. Some foreign drivers already mentioned they will stay the entire week-end. What about you ? Will it change your mind and are you ready to come in such a case ?
Concerning attendance, please have a look at the other european forums (from Spain to Russia ...) to see that I'm not posting any wrong info about british and czech comings. In addition, here's the link to our forum where some started to register : french forum - meet section
Moreover, you may be interested to know that some british drivers will attend this "european meeting" while there's a planned meet in N-W UK during same date ...
I'm not forcing anyone to come. It is just an information that you could attend a great event.
Thanks again for your feedbacks and please give us some others
We hope to see you soon
