ACOC International 2015 – Luxembourg
Save the dates!
Luxembourg being a tiny country with only limited hotel availabilities suiting the needs of an ACOC International in terms of quality and number of rooms as well as appropriate parking for our beloved mounts, the dates for this event have now been set at 5 to 9 August 2015.
The venue is Kikuoka Golf Country Club Hotel in Scheierhaff L-5412 Canach, situated in the country site some 20 kms south-east of Luxembourg-City. Besides traditional restaurant and bar, saunas, jacuzzis, indoor pool, fitness centre and solarium, it features an 18 holes golf course as well as secure parking.

We have been able to get a commitment on 40 double rooms held until mid-November 2014, so it is important to make quick decisions on joining this premium event in the 2015 ACOC calendar, as the number of rooms is limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
We are still busy organizing the programme around interesting options for visits both cultural and happy motoring related, and will provide you with the final program in due course. For your guidance, the cost of this International will remain within a total budget of around 1.400 € per couple/car in double room (breakfast, lunches & dinners with drinks, and events included).
What you are also offered on this International is the lowest petrol prices in the EU, so make sure you arrive with an almost empty tank. And the more you drive, the more you save [;)][;)].
However avoid the motor way filling stations: you will save time also.
More detail will come via this forum and via the usual ACOC member contact channels and through ACtion.
Of course you can already indicate your interest or get an answer to any question by calling me on +352 621500758 or emailing me at constant.wagner@pt.lu
We hope to see you in Luxembourg in 2015.

ANY MORE NEWS ON LUXEMBOURG?
We are thinking of adding a few more days touring in Alsace - is there any outline yet on which Channel crossing route will be used? Realise you are incredibly busy with arrangements but August is getting booked up fast....
Thanks
Mike Harlow

.
Mike.
Speaking from experience and on behalf of Constant and Dany.....
Standard practice for ACOC Internationals is One makes ones own travel arrangements, The logistics of catering for 36 cars from various destinations in UK, plus numerous departure dates and various return dates would be a logistic nightmare........
I know having organised the past 7 Le Mans Classic and ACOC French International 2014. Became a nightmare for Julie and I...[;)]
Suggestion:-
Discuss plans with other members and travel in small groups, or arrange meeting points en-route.
Sorry not the answer you want to hear, The Impossible Constant can do , but he has yet to perfect the skill of miracles...[B)]
Keith..[;)]

Hi Keith
Thanks for that, not having heard anything and being unfamiliar with the form any info is welcome.
We will probably go by tunnel in that case and start to plan our trip.
Looking forward to some roof down travelling.
Kind Regards
Mike

Hi
During recent correspondence with Constant to secure a additional room for Mike & Carl Harrison and liaising with Constant reference Itinerary, I will post a copy after the following paragraph.

Hi to all those enrolled for the International 2015,
As Keith mentioned, final info and instructions will go out shortly to you all: 46 cars and 90 people! Wow!
That will lead to quite a few traffic jams in tiny Luxembourg.

Many thanks to Constant, Dany, Jurgen and Ursula for an amazing International. Immaculate organisation, and great food, accommodation and company, never mind quiet roads, wonderful scenery and two laps of the Nurbergring Nordschleife. Hope all got home safely!

Constant & Dany.... Jurgan & Ursula
Thank you for a great ACOC International with the Bonus of two laps of the Nurburgring..[:)]..[:)]
I take this opportunity to thank you and all the other club members who gave their time and effort in assisting Craig and I when BEX333 threw her toys out
of the pram and had the odd strop, or was it two or maybe three..[?]..[?]
The camaraderie in The ACOC is second to none. Really appreciated by both Craig and I. ( not forgetting BEX)
Was it the ACOC International or pre qualifying for the SAS, [?]
Seriously,We passed thanks to carrying spares and the help from many especially Paul & Jacqui, Bob & Sue, Malcolm & Sarah, Peter,Constant & Jurgan and team.
Return trip....Was trouble free covered 1499 miles Door to Door back home Monday night at approx. 20.30hours, poor old Craig then had a 4 hour trip to North Devon.(he too arrived home safely approx. 0.30 Tuesday.. )...[|)]
A BIG Thank You to Constant & Dany, Jurgan & Ursula...
Hope every one arrives home safely and looking forward to next ACOC International...... Rumour has it .. .. It could be in The West Country.. Devon / Cornwall.. [;)]
SHhhh not official as yet, One or Two could have been under the influence...hic .. hic.[B)]
Did anyone take any Pictures of BEX on the Nurburgring ..[?]

Hi all,
there is a rumor going round that 2016 ACOC International would eventually take place in the UK, somewhere between Cornwall, Devon and Somerset........... ;-)
Someone else who heard about that, for sure, rumor?
