We can take Dave to the New Forest on June 1st, we are at an Anglia Centre committee meeting in Needham Market in the morning then straight to the New Forest for the rest of the weekend, maybe we could even collect him then. I'd like to take him to the meeting though. He can come to work with me every day until Thursday 6th, that will give him another 700 or 800 miles of East Anglia when he will travel to Switzerland for the MGCC 65th anniversary event in Davos. Monday 10th he can come with us over the Stelvio Pass and a quick whizz through a bit of Italy and Austria before returning home via the Black Forest.

I can pass him on at MGLive.

I can then take him to Luxembourg on Friday 28th for the 10th running of the Tour de Lux if he can make his way back to me.

Saturday 20th July could see him off to Antwerp for the weekend with the MGCC Antwerp for their 35th anniversary.

Can anybody fill in the gaps ?

August and September could see him off to Germany for MGFIM and the Neiderrhein Tour.

Have a chat with Steffi and I Adrian over the weekend
After TdL Steffi could look after him and then take to Denmark with us. Before MGFIM we go to the oldtimer grand prix at The Ring. There's also the Ardennen meeting at end of August :)

Just a few possibilities maybe :)

Thanks Paul, Don will pass 'Dave' on to you at the Ferry Terminal, if I remember Dave has always wanted to steer a Ship, perhaps you could put a word in to the Captain? :D

If Dave likes to travel to Germany, he could come with Colin from Bristol on the 7th of August to the Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in Germany
and after that he could meet a lot of friends and Flat Eric and Erica at the MGFIM 2013 in Bingen from the 16.08-18.08.
Than I could bring him back to UK and he could travel with me to BTCC at Knockhill the weekend after that.
If interested in Luxembourgh he could than fly with me back home to Germany and join the Ardennen Meeting in Luxembourgh from the 30.08. - 02.09.2013.
I guess Dave likes to fly and maybe he can get some good pics from the racing court :-)

Looks like this holiday for Dave will not happen, as there were no offer(s) to get him down to the somerset area... :(

PERHAPS


as an alternative a member could collect him from Hari (Tui) at MG LIve on Saturday? and do an alternative outing.. :P
