 Oktoberfest
Just been listening to a program on the radio about Oktoberfest - and I WANT TO GO... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vkl0j(If anybody outside the UK wants, I can send them an MP3 of it) Anybody reckon there could be scope for a 2cv raid?

Sounds eminently doable, Mr C - will have to see how the old bod is next year tho

 Re: Oktoberfest
I'm reminded of the Giles Wemmbley - Hogg quote ... "Munich Oktoberfest? Right, all I need to do is find out where it is and when it is and I'm all set."

 Re: Oktoberfest
Not wanting to start another thread that may not go anywhere, I thought I'd piggy-back off this German themed thread and just ask if anybody knows the dates/location of next year's German National 2cv Meeting? I've decided I'm doing Waggel in May and then the German National, instead of the World Meeting.

 Re: Oktoberfest
Just done some surfing and answered my own question. It appears that the German National is a bi-annual event that is held in opposing years to the World Meeting, so the next one is in July of 2012. Oh well, I'll just look for local, small French meetings or even try the Portuguese meeting

 Re: Oktoberfest
World (Big) Meeting + French organisation = I may end up going, but turn up on Day 2 and hope the queue is more manageable/organised
