Hello Cobra friends,
Last year we had the opportunity to meet at the European Cobra meeting in Slovenia. I still have very fond memories of this well organized event. At the last evening of this event we announced that the Dutch Cobra club (CCN) would organize the European Cobra meeting in 2012. We have set the date for Friday 31 August, Saturday 1 September, Sunday 2 September. It is a 3 day event with al lot of activities.
We think we have found the best place for such an event. The venue is a new F1 stock car circuit (oval) near Venray in Holland
2012 will in more than one aspect be a memorable year and lets hope for the best. 2012 will also mark the 50 year anniversary of the Cobra.
We invite all European Cobra, Daytona & GT40 (original or replica) drivers to come and book for this wonderful 3 day event.
Their will be a rock-band who will play the one and only Cobra guitar in the world!
This special hand built Cobra guitar was auctioned on the Slovenian Cobra meeting in 2011.
We are still in the process to gathering more ideas, negotiating prices with several organizations, planning activities, etc. That means that the content is still a moving target but we do have a global plan were will stick to.
So what kind of things are we going to offer?
The oval circuit is situated in a rather “remote” location and is fully fenced and guarded.
Why is this important? There is a possibility to park your Cobra, GT40 or Daytona overnight on the inner circuit. You can not beat that for safety. It is also possible to hire the pit boxes, so we can provide against extra cost, for some of you an even better overnight Cobra, GT40 or Daytona parking place.
And of course there will be all kind activities on the circuit.
(Please see the schematic overview of the circuit and its facilities.)
All activities except the tours you will be making will be in and around the circuit.
The setup will be that everyone will book its own room which will offer you a 3 night stay and breakfast for a fixed price.
They idea is that everyone will be transported to and from the circuit and the hotel in the evening and in the morning.
Costs:
109 euro per person for 3 day European Cobra Meeting (ECM) event.
(Includes buffet & entertainment on each evening and etc.)
This is without the cost of hotel with breakfast. Prices start at € 58,50 per night including breakfast for a hotel.
Remark: For those who prefer to camp, campsites are also available.
Dates:
Friday 31st August 2012; Saturday 1st September 2012, Sunday 2nd September 2012
This is an event you do not want to miss ! Sincere Cobra greetings,
